Woman's request in obituary: Don't vote for Hillary Clinton

[onehandle]

RUNNEMEDE, N.J. (AP) - A New Jersey woman has used her obituary to make a final request to friends and family: Please don't vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton for president. Elaine Fydrych's husband said Wednesday she was a registered Democrat and not "a political person."

But he said she grew to strongly dislike Clinton after the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi and believed Clinton's handling of the matter as secretary of state was "terrible."

A bipartisan report on the Benghazi attack spread blame among the State Department, the military and U.S. intelligence but didn't name Clinton.

Joe Fydrych, of Runnemede, said his 63-year-old wife told him a few weeks before she died Aug. 13 of her plan for her obituary. She told him it was up to him whether to include the line about Clinton, but he said he felt he had to honor his wife's wishes. The last line of her obituary says: "Elaine requests, 'In lieu of flowers, please do not vote for Hillary Clinton.'"

You know damn well this would have ended up here, so I saved you the trouble of clicking on your mouse/keyboard.

2. I don't think any Bernie supporter would have posted that. or will post it.

You? You just couldn't resist the opportunity to smear Bernie supporters by claiming they would have.

And you have the unmitigated gall to run around day in and day out posting how awful bernie's supporters are.

Wow, that's some cognitive dissonance you have going on.

[RandySF]

3. I think it was a Republican.

The family was more than happy to talk to Fox.

9. I think the husband was getting revenge on his dead wife. He's probably thrilled that

she can't cancel out his wingnutty vote any more. He's probably dancing a jig and thrilled that she can't boss him around, and he's feeling his oats.

And of course, she is dead, and she can't speak up. I think anyone who makes their dead relative an object of divisiveness, no matter what they may or may not have said as they're medicated and dying, is an asshole.

[Ken Burch]

52. When they read the will, I'm guessing it will turn out that she left everything to the cat.

[MADem]

53. Or the Clinton campaign!! That would be a dish served cold!

Here's your last supper....dear!

[Ken Burch]

51. Sounds right to me.

No Dem would ever reference Benghazi as a reason to not vote for HRC.

[hrmjustin]

6. How did the poster smear Sanders supporters?

[cali]

8. claiming it would have been posted here. who do you think she was referring to?

[hrmjustin]

10. It would have been posted here. I am sorry but i don't see it as a smear.

[cali]

14. of course you don't.

[hrmjustin]

18. And what does that mean cali?

[riversedge]

31. agree. yes it would have been posted here

[840high]

47. I saw that last night and did

NOT post it here.

[sibelian]

17. Oh, give over....

Every time I think the threshold's been passed, someone thinks of something even stupider...

[hrmjustin]

20. You have a lovely night.

[sibelian]

24. You too, my dear hrmjustin.

Let's hope no passing Bernie Sanders supporters start accusing Hilary Clinton of being unwholesome because of Benghazi. That would be just awful.

[hrmjustin]

25. Lol. I hope shoukd hope not.

19. 2-5 to LEAVE IT

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Direct personal attack on a poster.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Aug 19, 2015, 06:04 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Cali didn't cross any line with this post. Geez, I've had worse things said about me and I didn't get upset about the whole deal. Bluejazz
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: You know damn well this would have ended up here, so I saved you the trouble of clicking on your mouse/keyboard.

Seems a fair retort for GD-P. Leave.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Normally I think Cali posts are fine, but the post being replied to has no reference to Bernie Sanders at all so this is a blatant attack and should be hidden.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I think cali is 100% right. The post implies that SOMEONE would have posted it in GD, and that someone would probably have been a Bernie Sanders supporter. Who else are we to think the OP was saying would have posted it?
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Poster is correct and the HRC supporting alert stalker is a disgrace to this site. LEAVE IT.

26. ALERT! ALERT! CALI HAS POSTED SOMETHING!

PANIC STATIONS!

[cali]

29. lol. man all alert stations!

[cali]

27. thanks, cp

I think that was the third dubious alert today. If at first....

58. A similar one had already been posted back in April, so it was just a matter of time....

[BooScout]

4. LOL....

I wonder if she will come back as a zombie?

[Wilms]

15. She was a zombie.

Hope they did whatever the current sci-fi protocol calls for to make sure there's no further trouble from her.

[dsc]

5. let me be blunt

it is only a matter of time before we hear the same crap from posters here (minus the obit of course)

[cali]

11. so not only do you put words in others mouths, you condemn people

for what they haven't done.

[sibelian]

13. Well, we already HAVE, haven't we?

I feel so dreadfully circumvented.

[SidDithers]

34. Well, there was this one...

[napi21]

7. Sure she wasn't political. HA! Logic tells me anyone who isn't political, and many who are,

would NEVER even think to put something like that in their obit! I don't believe she was a Dem either. The only thing thst would have convinced her that Hillary mishandled Benghazi was FOX NEWS and the Pubs who just won't accept "no (mishandling) for an answer.

[MADem]

16. Hey--maybe it was HIM. She's dead and she can't talk back. nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

46. Good point. n/t

[6chars]

12. kinda sad

[KMOD]

21. one of the funniest obits I ever read was from a Cleveland Browns fan.

A lifelong Cleveland Browns fan and season ticket holder, he also wrote a song each year and sent it to the Cleveland Browns as well as offering other advice on how to run the team. He respectfully requests six Cleveland Browns pall bearers so the Browns can let him down one last time

22. First published on Fox.....they thank you for the repost of nonsense and irrelevancy.

But you have plenty of newly Fox-loving allies at DU, as long as it is negative story on Clinton, there is that!

[freshwest]

30. Fred, you're wrong. Check onehandle out. Not a Fox lover and not being anti-Clinton. n/t

[Fred Sanders]

37. Sorry, hard to seperate the DU'ers who have gone to the dark side from us.

Also I just noticed the whole irrelevant article is from April!

[freshwest]

43. I know. Thanks! n/t

[sibelian]

23. Will this foggy nightmare never end?

Who shall lead us from this seemingly endless labyrinth of despair?

Benghazi, of all things. It was a silly non-story and Bernie Sanders supporters will probably start using it because if they do I'll finally have something concrete I can contradict them on.

[quickesst]

28. Ha...

I would have bet my next paycheck that more than a few er, anti-Hillary folks would have pounced on this like a cat on a mouse if you hadn't beat them to it. Like everything else though, easy enough to claim the moral high ground after the fact.

[KT2000]

33. A FOX watcher

registered Democrat? I don't think so.

[last1standing]

35. I'm supporting Bernie but I don't think this was in good taste.

There always seems to be one or two of these during a presidential election and it seems wrong to try to guilt someone out of voting their conscience with a death plea.

I'd much rather see someone vote for Bernie, than vote against Hillary or O'Malley.

[SunSeeker]

36. How much you wanna bet Joe Fydrych is not a registered Democrat and IS "a political person."

If I were the wife's family, I'd demand an autopsy.

[Iliyah]

39. Oh my gawd.

I think every presidential election cycle that have at least one Obituary stating "please don't vote for. . ." which are usually Democrats.

[SunSeeker]

45. Ok

[TDale313]

38. You bring this here...

To whine how people on DU are picking on Hillary? And how the mean old Bernie supporters would of course seize on this? When no one here brings up the Benghazi crap except to ridicule the republican witch hunt or an occasional troll who soon gets a ban hammer? Are you kidding me?

[leftofcool]

40. Oops! An old Bernie supporter already posted it.

Too bad he got tomb stoned

[TDale313]

41. With comments and a smilie

Indicating how nuts this was, but please enjoy the outrage. And yeah, I thought his ban was appropriate.

[Fred Sanders]

44. Recycled "news", garbage from April? Par for the Clinton-bashing course!

Famous last words marking the final resting place of a great fool.....used posthumously for insipid gutter-snipping.....maybe it is a good sign knowing the depths being plumbed for.....anything!

[George II]

42. That's one conference call that won't take place.

[leftofcool]

49. ROFL!

[AndreaCG]

50. Too bad she's already dead

Cause I can't get an email address to let her know why I'm ignoring her wishes. Because if she actually was a Democrat and believed the Benghazi nonsense anyway then she truly was a political nitwit who was unaware of the 10+ attacks on embassy/consulates and 40 Americans dead during the GWB years not to mention 9-11.

[frylock]

54. Proud BENGHAZIIIIIIIan for Bernie checking in

[virtualobserver]

55. Does it make me a bad person.....

if when a hateful person who planned to vote against Democrats dies.....

I have a little two second celebration party in my head?

[ellisonz]

56. Clearly, people have trust issues with Hillary lol

[lovemydog]

57. BENGHAZI!
