The world will be a better place without this left-wing bit-h. Good riddance, says I. I can think of thousands of left-wingers I'd like to see suffer exactly the same fate. Get help. Seriously.
Politics is not a fight between Manichean forces of good and evil. Molly Ivins may be a political advesary who has used dirty tactics, but that doesn't mean we should gloat when she gets cancer!

Cancer isn't about a person deserving it. It strikes people regardless of how good or bad they are. To wish it upon a political enemy is puts you on the same level as people like Ivins. I doubt you really want to share that space with her.
Remember the mast things said about Laura Ingram? Don't lower yourselves to that standard of behavior. Rise above it and wish Ivins well despite her nasty demeanor.

Pray for her, lest your judgement be visited upon you.Possibly her judgement of others is being visited upon herself? Karma can be a bitch.

Can you cite one published research paper that analyzed the statistical correlation between "malignant hatred" and the incidence of cancer?
We're all waiting.....

I do personally think that stress, keeping emotions bottled up, anger, etc., can lead to disease and/or exacerbate a genetic predisposition to disease. But certainly some if not most disease can be random and unexplainable.

Because FR's have or should have more compassion and class then the grave dancers at Koz or Democrat Underground. Last month, when my son was killed, there was a thread on DU offering prayers and support for my family. They rightly said that suffering transcends politics. We are all human. We all feel pain.
Ms. Ivins and her family are in my prayers.

In my experience it's usually the nasty ones who live to be 200.

I know of many cases of people getting sick after the death of a loved one, or some other trauma. As far as malignant hatred, it may not YOU sick, but it can make everyone who comes in contact with you want to blow lunch. ;)

Cancer, once manifest is always there, the best medicine can do is force remissions.
It's a major programming error and copies itself until there is no unaffected organ.

It's been in the literature for years. Look it up. I don't have a reference sitting here on a Saturday morning. But it's not my idea, and it's not new.
To: veronica
I agree with you that stress can be correlated with a myriad of diseases (e.g. hypertension). However, the uniformed posting to this topic seem to think that Molly Ivin's aggressive liberal tendencies or her lack of faith and spirituality (typical of liberals) caused her cancer and her progression over 6 years to the metastatic setting. The reasons for her disease are related to biology rather than to spirituality or politics....
To: Dianna
That is nice....but look at any DU thread where a prominent conservative dies.
Reagans death was a non-stop celebration as was Fords. The threads on poor Barbara Olsens death who died on one of the 9/11 planes was truly sickening.

The whole issue of how thoughts and emotions affect health is interesting. I am sure someone out there has studies of disease rates vis a vis people with a belief in God and those without.

She needs to look within herself and write about what she finds there. In other words, prepare to meet her Maker. (It's good advice for all of us.)

Molly Ivins may be a political advesary who has used dirty tactics, but that doesn't mean we should gloat when she gets cancer!Why not?
The key is to gloat in private and not on an internet forum.
...especially one where Hillary can hire goons to track us down and make us pay for all the nasty things we've said about her.

As I thought, you cannot cite a single reference...
If this concept of 'malignant hatred causing cancer' has been in the literature for years, you should have no problem finding a reference of a legitimate study with data supporting your theory.
In my world, cancer is caused by tangible things like smoking, diet, environmental exposure, genetics, etc.
To: Darkwolf377
Ditto to Ms. Ivins from me.
