It doesn't matter -- everyone, including those in New Hampshire, know that Schilling is supporting Bush now.

[NotchJohnson]

Here it is beore they yank it. . .


"To all of you folks who criticized me yesterday, our Union efforts here in Mass may have had some affect on Shilling's decision to "Bow Out" of his joint appearance with President Asshole.

You see, his commercial endorsements as well as his charity are all centered where it will have the greatest affect, here in New England. Well, outside of NH, we are all deep blue, and NH is pale blue.

We instantly had the AFL-CIO, as well as a rash of local unions complain about Curt's actions. This was not coordinated with the Kerry campaign, thereby leaving no downside to them. We did this on our own.

Even though DUers, like Will_Pitt tried to undermine our efforts, we accomplished our goal of not having a photo-op for Bush with Schilling, and now Bush will travel to NH for nothing, and there will be a disappointed crowd in Portsmouth.

I don't know if what we did was the reason Curt changed his mind. I have a felling his wife may have convinced him that their effort's to help others in this region would be hurt by his appearing with President Asshole. We may never know the exact reason, but those of you who E-mailed Curt, or called Dunkin' Donuts to complain may have helped change his mind.

To you folks, the Union workers in Massachusetts say thanks. This will turn out to be bad news for Bush in NH, in a day of all bad news for the Asshole in the White House.

God Bless all here at DU."

What cancellation? I missed that.

[mewzilla]

But they can't unring the bell...

[need_a_screen_name]

Never mind... lol

[leadpenny]

All due respect, I shouldn't have to go to a link to figure out what you are talking about. What cancellation?

[cripplecreek]

I simply assume that Shilling will be extremely busy for the next month or so.

[LunaticSVT]

Next they will claim it was the DU that got helped the RedSoxs win!

[jneesy]

it seemed like something got to him . don't think it was du though figure it was teammates/management. seems a little weak kneed to me but the good thing is he still agknowledges his support for bush

[LunaticSVT]

Next the DU will claim they helped the RedSoxs win.

Schilling was supposed to appear with Bush in NH today but cancelled late last night due to his ankle (and man, that ankle is really a mess... this guy is a TRUE HERO for New England).

For these rats to claim they had anything to do with it shows you how low they go. And if they did have something to do with it, that's downright wrong they'd pressure someone to keep quite about their PERSONAL beliefs. I don't blame Schilling one bit for not standing up against it if this is the case, as he has a LOT to lose personally, the guy is exhausted and like others have said, it doesn't matter that he already gave his endoresment.

Remind me to stick with Krispy Kreme and never eat another DU-nkin' DOH-nut.

[Paine in the Neck]

This rings pretty true. The IBEW local in Boston is *very* militant and it has members that would not flinch at some pretty ugly behavior.

However, it doesn't matter. Curt's original endorsement has already gotten world-wide play, the opportunity for Kerry to leech onto the Red Sox celebration has been poisoned, and the strong-arm effort to keep Curt away from NH (whether true or not) is getting HUGE play on the local radio.

Lots of folks in NH were going to see Schilling in NH to avaoid the massive crowd there will be in Boston. Kerry is getting blamed for Curt not showing up. This has blown up rather badly in Kerry's face.

[ejdrapes]

Sorry, it's been posted here several times about Curt Shilling supporting Bush but now backing out of a campaign rally. I assumed most people here already knew about it.

[Dr.Deth]

I hate to say this, cut come Tuesday Night, DUmbworld is going to be a far more interesting that this one, as they struggle for answers, wonder what went wrong, grasp at rationalizations, foam at the mouth, issue death threats against public figures, and eventually die right at their keyboards from aneurysms.

It'll be great fun over the next week to watch them go through the however-many phases or grief.

[Polyxene]

These people are beyond the pale -- calling our President an a--hole then closing with "God Bless" -- Unbelievable! I have never gone on the DU website -- don't want to expose myself to such vile filth.
