DUmmies are saying Andy Stephenson is dead. Anyone know if it's true?

[Bars4Bill]

They can't even post grief without the F word.

They sure do drink alot in their grief though.

There are a lot of posts regarding his passing but I can't find a post actually stating when (what time) and where he passed.

I posted that thread already on post #8 of this very thread.

May he rest in Peace.

[fml]

Oops, indeed you did. I skipped right over it, 'scuse me :)

[Graycliff]

Did he ever really exist?

[Melpomene]

I noticed that in 300# replies, there is no mention of burial plans.

[Fuzz]

Well, he died like 9 hours ago, and it's only 6:30 in the a.m. How exactly is one able to make burial plans that quickly and in the middle of the night?

[Melpomene]

Well, every time someone in our family has been on death's door, burial plans were waiting in the wings. It sounds morbid, but it relieves a lot of stress when the time arrives. Date and time might not have been set, but at least the place was known.

[Poser]

I hope it's not true. He's a young guy.

[Lord_Baltar]

Same here. I've had my plans (and arrangements) pre-set so my kids and other family don't have to go through all the funeral arrangements. They kick in once I've shirked this mortal coil.

As for Andy, may he rest in peace.

[Poser]

It appears to be true.

Too bad.
Hey PJ... I think you owe Andy an apology.

RIP Andy Stephenson - A passionate political foe

Yeah, I'm seeing that too that Andy passed on. I don't know a lot about him and whatnot, but I hope it was peaceful and he, along with his family and friends do find comfort in the Lord. About the scam conspiracies around this, I really don't know what is right or not, but I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt and say that what Andy went through and his trials were genuine. I disagree with his politics but cancer can strike us all and we need to realize that and do have some compassion here.

Some general observations, I always wondered that in history, it would have been better for Lincoln to just let the South go, but the South did attack Ft. Sumpter so that complicated things to say the least. It's a shame there is a lot of hate on both sides and I do fear there might not be any chances of reconcilliation so there are times I think it would be better off if both ideologies just split up the country and part as friends and just run their nations as they see fit. I do fear that. I was hoping that things like 9-11 would unite us and we need to have some sort of cease fire from across the aisle as Rick Roberts said last week as he subbed for Michael Savage, Savage is my favorite talkshow host. Maybe both sides should cut each other loose. Maybe that is best, I don't know.

I'm still very conservative, especially in moral, religious, military and social matters, economically less so, more middle of the road centrist there, and I still consider myself a loyal soldier in the culture war, but trying to work with the other side that is almost 180 degrees opposite doesn't really work.

Sorry about the rambling thoughts, but I do hope Andy and his friends/family do find the comfort they do need.

RIP Andy. I may not have liked your politics, but its a shame whenever someone dies, especially so young. Whatever his crimes are/were, G-d will forgive him if he repents. And if he is blameless, then his reward awaits him.

I read this earlier today. I went to the newspapers in WA and could not find anything about his death.

[Blackirish]

DU ghouls were pissing with delight on Barbara Olsen's grave last week when Ted Olsen was being considered for Supreme Court. Let's rise above them.

RIP Andy
