AP ^ | 10/29/2004 | AP staff

That's what I wondered when I first heard this. Sounds to me like someone suggested that if he wanted to work in baseball, he'd better get in line. But then, I tend to be suspicious of things like this.

[RogerWilko]

I'll bet the DAMN DUmmies probably helped this out and hammered their organization with scathing e-mails and phone calls that may have help to cause this. They were in a tizzy yesterday calling Schilling every name in the book!

Stinkin' DUmbA$$e$!!

[Mr. Mojo]

It sounds like it came from the baseball association.

One of the most powerful unions in the world.

[Darth Gill]

He can come work for the REPUBLICAN Cardinals Baseball Team. (owners are pubbies).

And here is a list of BoSox that have supported sKerry:

[GOPologist]

Curt Schilling, I like your, although unsolicited, support of President Bush.

You had a winner during the World Series, now you'll have a winner On Nov. 2.

[RoseofTexas]

MY GOD, is he that SPINELESS?!! Sounds like the sKeryy billionaires backers got to him...I THOUGHT, NO MATTER WHAT, MR. SCHILLINGS, WE THAT BELIEVE IN CHRIST FEARED NOT because GOD SUPPLIES ALL OUR NEEDS. WHY then do you say your are a Christan and depend NOT on the power of CHRIST to carry you through your ordeal. Surgery can easily wait a day...YOU MY FRIEND IN CHRIST caved in to the world....SO SAD. The Lord said to pray for one another when we lack faith, I'll be praying for you Mr. Schilling. :(

Curt Can't Campaign for President this Weekend

Boston Dirt Dogs exclusive: "I am now not medically cleared to do anything until I see Doc on Sunday, so I cannot travel with President Bush tomorrow (Friday). Second, while I am a Bush supporter, and I did vote for him with an absentee ballot, speaking as I did the other day was wrong. While I hope to see him re-elected, it's not my place, nor the time for me to offer up my political opinons unsolicited. I am proud we have the right to vote, and the message I wanted to send but didn't, was that regardless of who you are voting for the bottom line is that you MUST vote. You must vote because there are millions of Americans who have given their lives before us, and will continue to give their lives after us, so that we can remain free to make the choices we need to make when it comes to electing our Nation's leaders."-- Curt Schilling

My comments:
Everybody around here knows what happened. I bet he was threatened by the corrupt political machine. He was told that he would find himself being pulled over. His house left unprotected by the police. His children harassed at school. His trash pickup service interrupted. His tax payments lost. His application for building permits denied, etc., etc. Many of us have seen it before. That is why you have to have a lot of guts to register as Republican in this State.

This is how a small number of people control a much larger population - just like how prison guards control prisoners. This is why there is only 1 party in this state and how people like Kerry and Kennedy get re-elected.

This is going to backfire on the RATS though. Everybody knows what happened and it makes them hate the RATS even more!

Nasty Boston Politics...slapped him down.

[Mannaggia l'America]

No guts after all.

Last night, when Bush had a rally in Bucks County, PA, he was introduced by Phila. Eagle tight end Chad Lewis.

On the Philly 11PM NBC news, they had sports reporter and former player Via Sikahema (who I've heard say "I'm to the right of Rush Limbaugh") had Lewis, and Eagles Corey Simon, Paul Grasmanis, David Akers, and others on camera all attending the rally.

I would have like to see T.O. there also.

[Trippin]

I agree. Any bonehead with an Internet connection can seemingly get into AP reports these days. What a corrupt and amateurish news organisation the AP is!

I won't be surprised however if Schilling did get threats. That's the way of the liberal, peace loving, tree hugging idiots these days. Violence can only be perpetrated against one's own countrymen, and only if they're conservative, white males.

[johnny7]

My money's on Theo Epstein... the gay-blade of of the Red Sox organization. Big anti-Bush/queer factor up in Homo-Central.

[LittleSpotBlog]

And of course, Schilling's cancellation will make front page news, while the pledge of support went unreported in the MSM. Typical.

[veronica]

His Demo boss nixed the appearance.

Free speech for Curt Schilling, not.

This is what liberals do. Silence the oppositon, all the while screaming about being "disenfranchised."

[maryz]

The 9:00-noon WRKO talk show is on it relentlessly. DePetro thinks it was certainly interference by Kerry people.

God, I hope this backfires so much that Kerry loses MA.

[AmericanMade1776]

Schilling has Guts.....you do not know what it is like to live in Massachusetts , I would not be surprised if he has been threatened, or his family.

[Rutles4Ever]

John Henry's a super-RAT, too, isn't he?

[Dane]

I agree with you. This will not go down well in New Hampshire or Mass.

Liberal intimidation on display.

[wmomof4]

His charity is Curt's pitch for ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) I'm thinking of donating and letting him know that I found out about it after I was impressed with him standing up with President Bush (which is true) Give him some support.

[js1138]

...not my place...

It'll take some time for that to sink in, but as an old southern boy, I know what that means. That will sting in the history books.
