Gee........if only she had kept her promise and moved to France after the 2000 election.......

[JoeSixPack1]

BS is full of it, once again! The creep wench plays a good roll, but if she cared about her son the way her granstanding and media say she does, SHE WOULD MOVE TO WHERE HER SON IS!!!!!!!!!

But nono no,,,, she only wants him to move out to where she is! If she really cared it wouldn't matter who moved, now would it?

She's educationally incapable of writing the rant you posted, but she believes it, all of it, and she's been spreading hatred toward the GOP for years.

I only wish that she was the one with AIDS!

Heretofore, I wonder why she hasn't been "out-in-front" advocating for gay rights? Too ashamed? Maybe she wanted to keep Jason in the closet?

(((big hugs))) It hurts to lose loved ones, take care...

[sofaman]

Please forgive me .....I feel nothing for them.

That is about the most cold-blooded statement that I have read on this site.

The fact that you may detest Ms Streisand's politics, should not minimize the fact that I would not wish this on anyone.

We can agree to disagree, but when push comes to shove, it's just politics. It is not life and death, which is what they are, potentially, facing.

You should reconsider your post. Heaven forbid, this was not Streisand, but someone close to you that has to face this terrible disease.

So sorry to hear about your brother. My sister-in-law lost her brother to AIDS...and I've lost at least four friends to AIDS.
Though I don't agree with Barbra Striesand's politics, I feel very bad that she and her family have to go through this. We can only pray that there will be a cure someday.

[sofaman]

I didn't notice anything in the article about how he contracted HIV. Gee, I wonder.

It says that he came out as a gay man. Not that it matters really.

[Skip Ripley]

I lost one of my brothers to AIDS four years ago. I wouldn't wish that on anyone regardless of thier politics or personality.

[BlessedByLiberty]

YES! You have the insight of the day! If it were my children in distress, I'd do whatever I had to do to be near them. Here is a woman who can easily afford to purchase a house for her son to live near her, why can she not purchase a place near him....inquiring minds...

To think she can hop a jet to vacation with the beautiful people or perform, but not to care for her son...tsk, tsk.

Yes, I know it's unkind, but could it also be guilt that makes her so haggard in this relationship? I wonder just how comfortable with the gay lifestyle she really is?

[sofaman]

I guess thats impossible Jason cuth your a funny boy.

Grow up!

"Sorry, sentimental moment on a rainy memorial day."

You're entitled to it. My sympathies to you and your family. The pain never goes away but it does recede.

Chin up...I wish you all well.

[The Westerner]

Condolences to you. Yeah, Memorial Day can do that to you.

Q? What's the difference between a Jewish mother and a rottweiler?

A! The rottweiler will eventually let go!

Thank you. Others have pointed that out to me.

I was right without even realizing it. I should be used to that byt now.

[DainBramage]

Grow up!

LOL If you like patting yourself on the back because you feel for Barbara Steisand and her Sodomite son fine.

They wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire, nor I on them.

[sofaman]

"AIDS is the most preventable of all diseases. I don't feel sorry for any AIDS victims."

G-d forbid, that you face soemthign similar in your own family.

Sorry, but I fail to see how one cannot feel compassion for a mother who is distraught at the suffering of her child. I could not care less, who the mom is. We can still be charitable and compassionate enough, to understand the pain that she must be feeling.

Another thing, I refuse to stoop to the level of a Barbra Streisand or Terry McAuliffe or George Clooney who find the suffering of another to be grist for their mill.

They will have to answer to the Big Boss for that.

[fourdeuce82d]

Please forgive me, but I feel sorry for them

I'd hope that people on this board wouldn't chastise you for your humanity.

[sofaman]

"They wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire, nor I on them."

As I said in subsequent post. I would not want to emulate Ms Streisand. I despise her politics. I also could not care a wit whether she would show compassion for anyone else. It certainly does not stop me from showing some humanity and feeling for them.

I also would prefer to not move around my part of the world with an attitude as hardened as your statements would indicate.

My statement stands.

[Twinkie]

I really think it's more about the "ultimate satisfaction in
rebellion" than it is about gratification. It's the modern
day equivalent (in spades) of being a tuned-in, turned-on
dropped out "hippie" of the 1960's. And about as deadly as
the kids of the sixties on LSD who thought they could fly
out seven story windows. Barbra has always "done it her way"
and the kid is following suit. I still feel for her and will
pray for them as fellow human beings. We are all subject to
tragedy as human beings - -

What is your part of the world sofaman, LookTheOtherWay , Minnisota?

NeverTaka Stand California? Bleeding Heart Iowa?

I'm trying to make myself care what you think, but find myself having trouble.
