Are all human beings equal? We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal...
If you don't like it, take it up with Jefferson.

I'm sorry to get you upset, spectre.
Getting off the thread is the wisest move. Suggesting replies be deleted because they don't fit your moral test...is not.
Maybe Molly Ivins will take her remaining time to reflect on all the hate she spewed over the years and find peace. While it would be nice thing to do ...frankly I don't care.

You are right..I go to the oncologist every six months and have the mammogram every year..I am still on medication and will be for a few more years..
A sister in law went through this also her cancer came back after she got off the medication..My oncologist told me the medication is to block any cancer cells that may have been left..
I do hope Molly has made piece with God..she needs him to be with her during all of this..she needs to let go of all of her anger toward man kind..she just never looked like a happy woman to me...

you related to Lincoln Chaffee, Olympia Snowe or Arlen Specter? There's a brilliant debating tactic...

The majority of replies wishing her well are insincere, phony, and empty, IMO. That's just your own inability to understand compassion, and you're transferring it onto others. I can assure you that I genuinely said a prayer for Ivans, and there was nothing inseincere about it.
It's hard for monsters to believe that we're not all monsters.

The only post nastier,more uncouth, and more lacking in sympathy and compassion, than the vilest post I have ever read on Free Republic, is the kindest, sweetest and most unbiased post I ever read on DU and on the pages of the MSM.

I can tell you my comments were from the heart...I hope no one has to go through what she is going through..I am sure she is on lots of drugs to stop the pain....but she needs to make sure she is right with God...

Politics is nasty business. Especially today, when the health and security of our nation is at stake.Politics has always been a nasty business. Our times are no different from all others in that regard. However, what we see on threads like this is not about politics. It's about something dark in the human spirit; something that has always been in us, but which civilization supposedly tames in us.
Civilization, civil, civic, civics, civility -- they all have the same linguistic root, which is from the Latin "civilis:" of or affecting fellow citizens. We supposedly live in a highly civilized time, and yet civility seems to be crumbling all around us, civics are no longer taught in our schools, and our mass communications media are used to demean and degrade our fellow citizens even as they are dying.

You're calling me a monster?
I said "the majority".
If you felt the need to defend yourself, that's your issue, not mine.
Bug off!

King David in Psalms asked God many times to destroy his enemies. I'm just sayin...

The majority of replies wishing her well are insincere, phony, and empty, IMO.Of greater concern to me are the people of my association here that are possibly all too sincere in their wish that another human being suffers from cancer simply because they disagree with them.

The connection between malignant hatred and cancer has been noted by mind-body medicine for many years.Yep. Irrational hatred causes stress, and that kind of stress is a killer, not only of the heart, but of the body and soul as well.
To: DCPatriot
You're calling me a monster? Lol, no it's quote from Freud. It's a simple sentence that underscores the mechanics of transference.
Thieves tend to be paranoid that someone is stealing from them. Bullies are suspect everyone else is likewise on the verge of violence. The unchaste think everyone is doing it. Etc etc.
In your case, you think everyone is being insincere because that kind of compassion is apparently alien to you.

Politics has always been a nasty business. As I typed that, I realized you might say that.
At the age of 60, I've seen the bar lowered in terms of what is acceptable behavior.
Growing up, I never read or heard ex-presidents publicly denouncing the CIC or foreign policy in time of war.
I never heard about presidents boinking actresses and pin-up girls because the press kept it quiet...at least if it was a democrat. ;^)
Politics seems almost pornographic in nature to this senior citizen.

Thanks for clearing that up for me...NOT! ;^)
Now, you're suggesting I am projecting because I lack the ability to feel compassion.
I cried when my pet died. Does that count?

Hi All- Similar to the sentiments posted earlier, I similarly and sincerely hope Molly Ivins gets entirely what she deserves. Whatever that might be.

I hope she gets what she deserves. I hope that none of us gets what we truly deserve.
We're all wretched sinners.
