total hypocrisy of the right wing politics and so called "Christians"
behind the attack on PP.

[Stuart G]

15. Incredible...no one could say this better.....................nt, k and r...

[LynneSin]

16. I rarely put things of facebook but I put this one on my page

Amazing woman - I am proud to do my part to make this go viral!

[GoCubsGo]

17. And, she's doing better than some.

My mom's second bout with breast cancer came with neurological complications. She went from "normal" to being afflicted with what can best be described as being like a bad case of cerebral palsy. She is wheelchair bound. Her fists are permanently clenched. She can barely speak coherently. And, that's just the tip of it. The person I knew as "Mom" is barely there. But, enough of her is still here that if she saw this video, she'd agree with the "kiss my ass" part--BIG TIME. So does the rest of my family.

[graywarrior]

20. OMG!

[sarge43]

21. Just passed this on to my nurse practitioner.

Everyone should see this because it's real and it's honest.

[Fla Dem]

[Spazito]

25. This courageous and beautiful woman has responded on YouTube re the comments...

on there:

"Thank you everyone for responding. I am a bit overwhelmed that I have had so many wonderful comments.  Thank you again!"

[anneboleyn]

26. Yes, this is wonderful, how do we make it go viral? Where can we send it? CNN, Buzz Feed?

[Spazito]

30. I don't know other than posting on Facebook....

maybe tweeting the link for those who use twitter? It definitely needs to go viral as Linda is speaking for all of us.

[JackDragna]

27. HA! This is fantastic.

I hope every damned lunatic who supported the Komen decision watches this video.

Couldn't have put it better. Great video, terrific woman!

[MagickMuffin]

42. Definitely puts things into perspective, Thank You Linda

and thank you Lisa for posting this very powerful video.

I'm sure that took a lot of courage for Linda to bear herself like she did. But I am so glad that she did.

As she stated Cancer IS NOT pretty. I hope Linda recovers so she can become the spokesperson for cancer.

[louslobbs]

43. Wow.........just amazing. I lost my mother to breast cancer and have several friends who have

lost their mothers or who's mothers are currently battling this disease. I know it up close and personal, and I have never witnessed more strength and determination at beating something, than the women I know, or have known, who were fighters, or are now fighting, and who are determined to beat this disease. My mom battled this disease from 1988-1994 when there weren't the advances we have today, but the fight was still the same, the determination and courageousness no less present. These courageous women are our mom's, our sisters, our cousins, our aunts, our co-workers and our friends and I have never stopped fighting this battle with them and on their behalf since it touched my life personally so many years ago. My mom was 50 years old.........when she lost her battle and I fight in her memory, with those I know, and on behalf of all of the beautiful and courageous women all around the world I don't know, to one day put an end to this disease. I do it because it is the right thing to do without concern for politics. I do it because it is the right thing to do, where some just think about making a buck off of someone elses pain and suffering, and I will be in this fight for the rest of my life because I care about the suffering of others, because it's the right thing to do. What has happened at Komen is sickening and sad. Karen Handel is sickening and sad. Anyone who plays politics with anyones healthcare decisions or their ability to receive healthcare is disgusting, sickening, and sad. Thank you for posting this powerful video.

51. The face of courage

thank you for posting the link here.

[Stuart G]

52. I watched this early..on You Tube it had 300 views..Now, 90,000

This one has taken off. Many will see this and understand what this really about.
Simply put, honest, and truly inspirational..something all should see...

[Lisa0825]

53. That is right around when I first saw it too! I think it had about 850 by the time I posted it.

I am so glad so many people are getting to see it!!! What an awesome lady! I wish I could hug her!!!

[Spazito]

58. It's now up to 142,901 views!

I am so glad this is going viral, it needs to be seen by as many as possible, imo.

[MoonRiver]

54. Incredible!

I haven't been through all that she's been through, by a long shot, but I know what she means about the constant fear and anxiety. It never goes away, but it makes us stronger!

[Frustratedlady]

55. Wow! That took guts. I'm proud of her for speaking out.

She doesn't leave anything to ponder about...she calls SGK out exactly as they should be. The Republicans and Tea Party should also be ashamed for being any part of this scenario.

What do they have running, this year? A "come up with the most bizarre changes/charges you can for state and federal governments" contest? They are attacking from all directions on women's rights, the poor, taxes, urine samples...you name it.

I think they are seriously losing their minds.

[Stuart G]

56. kick.

[PCIntern]

57. Remarkable...

especially after listening to politicians and the media talk around everything - it's great to hear someone just speak the truth...k and r.

[NRaleighLiberal]

59. K and R for courage, honesty, and truth.

[Stuart G]

60. 210,000 Views as of 3pm Eastern on Monday...nt..amazing..

Thanks for the thread, Lisa.
