You’ve probably heard of the Democratic Underground , the ultimate liberal cocoon, where Democrats let their darkest, ugliest feelings out into the open. Well, it turns out that Elizabeth Edwards may be an ardent DUer! Here’s a message posted by someone who purports to be her (it seems quite credible):
You know that I read DU and have for quite some time, long before any of you knew my name. I really appreciate the support you have given me on this latest hurdle and before. It means a lot to me and to John.
Now that I have more time, I will post some, too. But today I want to share something inspiring, part of a letter from Thomas Jefferson. This is from the new Bernstein biography of Jefferson. Jefferson sent the letter in 1798 after the passage of the Sedition Act:
“A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt. If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake.”
“Reign of witches??” Is this how the wannabe second-lady sees the majority of Americans?
This is far worse than, say, Lynne Cheney posting at Free Republic and decrying Kedwards as commies. The people at DU are the most rabid ultra-lefties and routinely say things about Republicans that, if any politician said it, would end his career.
“Elizabeth Edwards” even proves to the nutty DUers that it’s really her .
John Edwards was busy getting to know in a biblical sense John Kerry, all this time. She sought out DU for companionship.
I like this other quote from Jefferson which I think is appropriate:
Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.
* Notes on the State of Virginia (1781-1785) Query 18
I can see DU as a place for the few cracker-puppy Libs who don't have a clue and see conspiracy's everywhere.
But to know that the wife of a candidate for VP is there is way more than disturbing. It is scary.
Elizabeth had mental problems LONG before her medical diagnosis. Same for her weight problem!!
"witches" is the new "gravitas"
That what I was thinking. The statement has that Nostrodamus flavor to it, and it is dead on about Hillary. Although I am not certain she has completely passed by yet, but we can hope. I think Hillary may try to do another fly by.
Sheeit... we know they use the same f__king talking points to stay on the same page... they're incapable of individual thought.
It smells of victory... OURS!
Did anybody notice Chris Heinz posted there a few nights ago... I tried to link it (he used some profanity to describe the President) but the link was blocked by FR.

One of the very real pleasures of this wonderful site is being able to join in with countless other likeminded FReepers, and group-kick unfortunate and/or humiliated liberals -- like dodge ball, only online. Allow us our small pleasures, please. :)
i think it's a hoot, too. especially since they represent the anti-religious left.
Streisand talking about witches???
It takes one to know one!!
(in her next concert, perhaps she should stop lip syncing, and prove to the world that she can no longer sing)

Of course, the Dems quoting Thomas Jefferson is like Moore 'using' Orwell for his propaganda. . .'they are it'; and they do not know it.
It's interesting that Liberals select Jefferson to embrace from among all the Founding Fathers. Jefferson was quite French in his predilections and would likely not be a Christian as most of us understand the term. It is from Jefferson that the term "Separation of Church and State" came -- not from the Constitution. Liberals don't like to read Madison, who wrote the Constitution, or Hamilton (who, along with Madison, wrote the Federalist papers). Both of these founding giants were unabashed in their reverence for God and in invoking his name. Jefferson simply suits the Liberals' motives.
Would this include all of those supportive posts that hoped Laura Bush would get breast cancer?
There's another thread over there, in which Elizabeth Edwards comments on the Ohio loss. She writes that she didn't expect it because blahblahblah...and yet...blahblah... Something in that "and yet" tells me they're not going to challenge.
For another, give the woman a break. She's got breast cancer, for crying out loud. There are women on this forum with breast cancer, and men married to them. Cancer doesn't know politics. Let the DU people spew invective.
As conservatives, we can treat our opponents like human beings, even when the opposition disgraces itself so shamefully as to write under the name of a woman in the grip of serious illness.
