No tears shed for her demise. Actually there's a little smirk on my face. She name W. "shrub"

She's a Commie/Socialist (green party) as is Jim Hightower of Texas. Amen

[Gracey]

Marsha Ivins deserves NO respect, whether in life or after life. Be real.

[Gracey]

But Ivins was NOT civilized, IMO. She was a rude, crude, witch with a very foul mouth.

[BruceysMom]

Well said.

The Womens Libbers who came of age in the '60s and '70s were told they didn't need a man and kids would hinder their career. So, they stayed single and childless. Hence, they end up old, lonely, angry and bitter.

[RushCrush]

It's all in the name of setting an example. For you-know-who.

If it were up to me, I'd deny their very existence. Why let my free speech be clouded by what the garbage dump does?

[no dems]

Amen. And, BTW, prayers for her are too late. "It is appointed unto men once to die but after this, the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27)

[Central Scrutiniser]

She wasn't evil, she didn't kill anyone or lead mass genocide. She was a writer who wrote what she felt. She is no different than Ann Coulter, just another opinion.

Grow the hell up.

I am reading posts from many Freepers and alot are saying they did not agree with her but I am not seeing any ill will or hatefull posts. Could you immagine if GW was to pass the hate that would be posted? I have been shown that we have class and are respectful of someones passing.

I have a mammo every year now. Doc told me I only had to have a pap every other year. Sure hope they get that nice imaging tool soon, so we don't have to get squashed anymore!

[Loud Mime]

I don't like comparing a leader's death to a progagandist's, but its fair to say that the DUmmies will rejoice in any Republican's death. I can say that because I visit the forums often. There's more hatred and projection than logic and constitutional ethics.

[lndrvr1972]

I agree this shows who really cares about free speach.

[The KG9 Kid]

Vaya con diablos.

"She knows who's right now."

Isn't that the truth. One can only hope that she made her peace with Him before she left and it's too late, but judging from her last commentary, I doubt it.

[George W. Bush]

She wasn't evil, she didn't kill anyone or lead mass genocide.

You could say the same for Tokyo Rose.

I think you let these people off too easy. I don't mind if a journalist makes a career out of pointed political commentary at both parties. But Molly's knives were only out for Republicans nationally. Within Texas, I understand she was a little more balanced but that was sparring in her home territory with people she knew.

I don't cry over the Tokyo Rose's.

Thank GOD! She did not procreate.

"Authors of Shrub: The short but happy political life of George W. Bush" it says on the cover.

Interesting title. I guess 8 years of presidency is a short political life, in addition to the years as governor of Texas? Color me puzzled...

[Liberty Valance]

RIP Molly

Such a sad day for her family. God bless her and her family. Hopefully she found peace in God's loving arms.
