News Channel 5 (Cleveland, Akron) ^ | 19 Dec 2007 | News Net 5

Posted on 12/19/2007 10:57:22 AM PST by af_vet_rr

Perry Kucinich, brother of Rep. Dennis Kucinich, was found dead Wednesday morning at his east-side home.

Perry Kucinich was found by another brother, Larry Kucinich, at about 9 a.m.

The county coroner said that an autopsy is set to be performed to determine the exact cause of death.

There were no signs of foul play.

Rep. Kucinich is in Washington, D.C. and his spokesman said he is on his way home to Cleveland.

There are seven children in the Kucinich family.

Well I certainly don’t agree with him on anything, and I don’t respect him much either. That said, I hope his brother is at peace and send prayers for him and his family.

While Kucinich and I are on opposite sides of the political spectrum, very opposite sides, I still offer my prayers and condolences to Dennis and his family in this loss.

Its even more tragic that a death like this meets with suspicion. What does that say about our system?

My money is on Bill, so the widder Hillary!™ can run on the sympathy vote...

If the beast doesn't have BJ to campaign for her, she'll end up with less votes than Cynthia Mckinney.
JMHO

Maybe. But BJC doesn’t have that good a track record of actually delivering votes to others.

Timing would be crucial. I think not much more than a week before the actual vote.

That would put him in the ground after he’d gotten as many votes as he could, would hit the emotional peak on election day, and not given the koolaid drinkers enough time to figure out that Her Royal Heinous would be in office without any moderating presence.

Air America’s Jon Elliott speculated that “this does not appear to me to be a standard breaking and entering. Is this an attempt by the right wing hate machine to silence one of our own?” /sarc

your candidate Ron Paul says Kucinich is the one candidate currently running he would consider supporting

No, he flatly shot down that suggestion and said absolutely not.

But it's not like little things like "facts" have ever gotten in the way of another anti-Ron Paul rant. PDS strikes again.

Nope, it is simply fun to point out what a fraud he is.. if his little cult

And yet nearly everything you obsessively post is either a debunked Internet rumor or a nutty conspiracy.

I wouldn't expect the space aliens to leave any.

No "tearing" of any kind, from being, you know, probed?

I don't know a thing about Perry, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and since he was stuck with Dennis, I hope his friends were chosen wisely.

Just because you say it isn’t true, doesn’t make it so. AuntB, can you post the full quote and source link..
Maybe it is like everything else, Paul says something that hurts him so he says something else to try to deflect criticism.. very John Kerry of him.

Okay, here's the official response from the campaign itself:

"Dr. Paul and Rep. Kucinich are friends and there is a lot of mutual respect. They have worked, and will continue to work, together on the ending the war and protecting civil liberties."

"However, Ron wants to substantially cut the size and scope of the federal government. There are too many differences on issues such as taxes and spending to think a joint ticket would be possible."

And Ron Paul NEVER even suggested running with Kucinich. Someone asked Elizabeth Kucinich if Dennis would consider running on a ticket with Paul, and she said yes.

A reporter then asked Paul for his reponse, who said that while he considers Kucinich a collegue and a friend (which other Republican congressmen have said because it's the gentlemanly thing to do, even people here on FR say Kucinich is at least honest) he would not consider running with him in a nicely-worded statement.

So the "Ron Paul wants to run with Kucinich" conspiracy you've been spreading is yet another one what simply made up by angry, paranoid anti-Paul nuts.

Accusing other people of just saying things because they hope they're true? Sounds like you graduated from the Democrat Underground School of Projection.

Do you care to continue simply making things up, or linking to debunked Internet rumors?

And what’s with your crippling obsession with Ron Paul? I’ll be voting for him, but I’d be surprised if he got more than 10% in any state. You might want to consider counseling for your PDS. If you walk into the therapist’s office with a DUer suffering from BDS you can probably split the bill.

Oh, and here is the source link, since you requested one. Your newest nutty conspiracy is just Dennis Kucinich trying to get some newspaper coverage.

I call it LMAO syndrome because paul supporters are so fun when they get their panties in a wad. If a lot of y’all didn’t act like a cult, it wouldn’t be so fun.

Having just lost my little brother December 8th and burying him last Thursday I offer my deepest condolences and prayers. I know full well what he is going through.

QUESTIONER: “Congressman, if you were not running, right now, for office, is there a current candidate that you would identify with most and who would you vote for yourself?”

RP: “... there’s been some that hinted that they might run... that’s Chuck Hagel... I don’t know a lot about his other programs, but because foreign policy to me is so important”

“... on the Democratic side, it just happens that Dennis Kucinich is a good friend of mine”

Kucinich is indeed a granola munching, gubment cheese facilitator, but he will give a direct answer because he believes in his moonbattery, and thinks that his audience does too. But let us be kind and send out a prayer for the sibling and the rest of the family.
