Elizabeth Edwards : DUer? (Certainly Goes a Long Way To Explaining Lack of Smarts, Class...)
PoliPundit.com ^ | 11/09/04 | PunditGuy

Posted on 11/09/2004 7:56:22 AM PST by KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle

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 .

I don't need to go crying to Jim Robinson. Why are you getting all offended anyway? I simply pointed out it was a duplicate story.

I guess it's officially over.

Who's "offended"...? You seem unduly... exercised by the posting of a legitimate story from an entirely different source (i.e., the way things have been done here, with Jim's implicit blessing, since Day One). Just thought you might appreciate the tip, given the evident high dudgeon on your part.

Don't need the contact info? Cool by me, either way.

This is just like Barbara Streisand's post. Looks like Ms. Edwards is joining the ranks of Joe Biden and his ilk. Another plagiarist in Dimocrat ranks.

It's a good thing that Elizabeth Edwards knows John Kerry! According to John Edwards, if Kerry had been elected he would have healed Christopher Reeves...made him stand up and walk again!

So now Edwards can ask him to heal his wife, too!

John Edwards KNEW about Hanoi Kerry and what he did.

I VOW to the 58,000 + names on
The Viet Nam Wall who never came home

"I will do everything I LEGALLY can
to expose Hanoi Kerry once and for all."

MSM still refuses to tell the real story about Hanoi Kerry!

ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
is part of THE cover up of the election.

Do you wonder why the Left whines about the election results?

They still think Hanoi Kerry is a "war hero"

They don't know what a traitor he is!

And I don't know about you but
I'm sick and tired of the Right media saying
"what an honorable man Senator Kerry is"

Why isn't the Right all over Hanoi Kerry
to be impeached from the US Senate?

"In a bombshell development that could have turned President Bush's victory into a landslide
had it come out before the election, John Kerry wrote in his Vietnam war diary that
he met with "terrorists" in Paris - a revelation that "flabbergasted" his running mate John Edwards."

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/11/7/101350.shtml

And still the MSM,
ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
hide the truth from America.

And still 99 US Senators refuse to impeach this traitor.

Hello DU,

Chris Heinz here, newly minted casualty of the Bush economic plan. Like many of you, I put my life aside to fight for this campaign, and to fight for a man I deeply care about, my stepfather John Kerry. I am proud of the man, and of our campaigns work. I am proud of my mother and my family, and the Edwards family (my thoughts are with you Elizabeth). Every day I traveled this country, I was also humbled, truly humbled, by the fact that I would meet volunteers and activists who were putting all of their excess energy and hope into this process and the man, despite arguably fewer incentives than those in my immediate life.

Like many of you, I do not think anger is my current dominant feeling, though it is present. Nor is it exhaustion, as I would have guessed a week ago as we campaigned 24/7. Rather, I feel sad and confused. I feel sad because I believe this country made a grave error in judgement on tuesday. And I feel confused because I dont feel the same closeness for my country, but was raised a patriot and by default want to love all of it.

So here we are. We move forward. Each of us will have to look inside ourselves about whether to heed this call for national unity. In my opinion, we owe our neighbors, democrats and republican, the same basic honor we did before November 2. But as for this adminstration, I think I feel the same way as most on this board: I dont owe George W. Bush shit. He does not get a clean slate from me. He has ruled this country for four years by focusing on what makes us different and it is unforgivable. History will make this clear.

In the meantime, thanks DU for your passion. And last night, for your courage. The "my name is" thread was perhaps the most powerful, courageous and cathartic I have ever seen.

Good night,

Chris Heinz

Well, I can only stand the filthy typing fingers so long.
It was amusing to see them "oooooooh" and "ahhhhhhh" that
her highness Elizabeth Edwards would deign to speak to
little ol' nondescript them. Reign of witches indeed.
That's what we escaped from with the end of Clinton's last
term.

" and we shall see the reign of witches pass over,"

The reign of witches ended in 2000 and was punctuated in 2004. Babs needs to check her calendar.
