NBC News is reporting that Sarah Brady has lung cancer because of her addiction to cigarettes. She earlier switched to low tar cigarettes on the theory they would be "healthier" but got lung cancer anyway.

Please stand correctly. And, one more time because apparently you have comprehension difficulties:

Anyone who believes cigarettes are in any respect "healthy" is not too bright.

"My mom died from emphysema and was totally addicted to smoking. Near the end, walking around pulling a little portable oxygen tank....."

Mine did too, as did my grandmother, and I would not wish that or lung cancer on anyone. I do however see some irony in the fact that she wanted to control my gun while she could not, or would not, control her own smoking.

Well, I just heard her on TV; she said she had quit, but started back -- guess when -- when he was shot.

So, it's about the guns after all.

Cigarette Control is on the way, no doubt!

When W and Ashcroft face death I wonder if they will rethink their assaults on American freedom?

Someone who would equate Sarah Brady with our President and Attorney General regarding the subject of freedom is a sick SOB.

Gruesom.

I was kinda of hoping for robbery stabed-to-death death.

Also the down side is that as head of HCI she has been so bad that anyone who replaces her will most likely advance their goals. Lets hope she sticks around for a few more years to mismanage the anti-gunners.

I'm sure this was discussed here at least a year ago. Is there a new angle to the story? I wonder why it's out again.

Your original post was:

Sad. But we already knew that she wasn't too bright

This pretty clearly infers that one who smokes is not bright. Therefore it is you that is either the dim one in this dialogue or you're backtracking because you were busted.

First they came for the Smokers, and I did not speak out
because I was not a Smoker.
Then they came for the SUV Owners, and I did not
speak out because I was not a SUV Owner
Then they came for the Gun Owners, and I did not speak out
because I was not a Gun Owner.
Then they came for the me
and there was no one left to speak for me.

I would be concerned with your statement if it came from somone whom I had any respect for.

Someone who thinks that Ms. Brady has had more affect on our freedoms than W and Ashcroft ain't dealing with a full deck anyway.

as we here on FR have been told - smoking doesnt harm you its an EVIL PLOT- to take away "your rights".

Not much for freedom are you? I usually like your posts because like me, you don't take any crap from the libertarians. However, I say live and let live on this one. Tobacco use goes back hundreds of years in this country. Its probably older than firearms. Either are fine with me.

What a coincidence! I always think that people who don't know the difference between "infer" and "imply" are not too bright.

From Nat Hentoff's latest column:

Keep in mind that the new law's definition of "domestic terrorism" is so broad, as we shall see in future columns, that entirely innocent people can be swept into this surveillance dragnet. You are not immune.

As law professor and privacy expert Jeffrey Rosen points out in the October 15 New Republic, "If [unbeknownst to you] your colleague is a target of [the already in-place] Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Investigation [with its very low privacy standards], the government could tap all your [own] communications on a shared phone, work computer, or public library terminal."

Furthermore, all this vast "intelligence" data can now be shared with the CIA, which is again allowed—despite its charter forbidding it to engage in internal security functions—to spy again on Americans in this country, and without a court order. People of a certain age may remember when the CIA did spy here on law-abiding dissenters, mostly on the left, in total contempt of the Constitution.

I guess you don't appreciate, respect or care for the second amendment. She has had more effect and its been a very negative one.

infer:

1 : to derive as a conclusion from facts or premises

I think infer is pretty accurate but if you prefer I'll change it to imply. Either way, can you dispute my opinion of the original posting?

How 'bout a law that makes her cigarettes illegal? She wants to remove the Second Amendment and take away our Constitituional Right to own a gun. She has no Constitutional Right to own a cigarette. And besides, it would save lives!

This is the type of torurous logic the Left (including Sarah Brady) has been imposing on society. Save a life -- take away her cigarettes!

Indeed that was my original post.

The title of this thread id "Sarah Brady has lung cancer and remains addicted to cigarettes". That's sad -- both having lung cancer and being addicted to cigarettes (or anything else for that matter).

The article states:

NBC News is reporting that Sarah Brady has lung cancer because of her addiction to cigarettes.

I ignored this. She obviously doesn't have lung cancer because of her addiction. The cause of her lung cancer may be cigarette smoking; it may not. Although it's quite likely, I've never heard anyone definitely state that anyone lung cancer has been caused by smoking. Saying it's caused by someone's addiction is silly.

She earlier switched to low tar cigarettes on the theory they would be "healthier" but got lung cancer anyway

She's obviously not too bright. Anyone who believes cigarettes are in any respect "healthy" is not too bright.

Hmmmmm, nope. It seems pretty straight-forward to me.
