ITA. I can’t imagine trying to police us at all! I’d probably hate most Freepers after...oh...35 seconds on the job. ;-)

Maybe Drudge had too much to drink the night before?

We are just saying you should respect that a human being is ill and not dance on his death bed.

Sorry, can't do it so I'll go into lurking mode for awhile before I get booted.

It never fails to crack me up. These threads never fail to bring out the drama queens.

"Why was my post saying that I wish [profanity][insert name] would drown in a [profanity] vat of acid?" Censorship!

Free Republic IMO has posters who are not here as part of the mission statement for this website.

Remember there are many in the world that have anger and distaste towards the members and extented family we have become over the years.

Hence the need for Mods to sanatize the site and yes even on a beautiful sunny Saturday morning.

There’s chatter in DUmmyland that he’s awake and lucid.

Sorry I got snappy. I was a bit overwhelmed with the volume. When it quiets down, I will go back and look up the post in question.

Doctors believe that Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts suffered a seizure at his home in Hyannis Port this morning, then a second seizure as he was being transported by helicopter from Cape Cod Hospital to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, according to an official briefed on the situation.

His condition was unclear early this afternoon, as a special police security detail gathered at Mass. General. Kennedy family members were called this morning and told to rush to Boston, according to sources.

The Hyannis Fire Department responded to an emergency call at the storied Kennedy compound at 8:30 this morning, according to the Cape Cod Times. The senator was rushed to Cape Cod Hospital, then flown to Boston. The newspaper published a photograh of Kennedy, strapped to a gurney, being carried to the chopper.

Kennedy, 76, is the senior statesman in one of America’s political dynasties. He was first elected in 1962.

Maybe Drudge has a life away from the little screen. I know, hard to believe...

I pray for Senator Kennedy and that he does not suffer any brain damage from the stroke.

An official with the Hyannis Fire Department said it received a 911 call from the Kennedy compound at 8:19 a.m. and transported a patient to the hospital, arriving at 8:50 a.m. The official would not be more specific.

Kennedy had surgery in October to clear his carotid artery in hopes of preventing a stroke. Colleagues said he had recovered quickly and was working energetically recently.

Yes, we should give the Mods a break. I am sure everything will be OK. Acutally, this thread seems tame compared to what we are probably all thinking we would want to say. God Bless!
