Hmmmmm, I just wonder just how long Elizabeth Edwards really knew....

[remember2000forever]

Remember how distraught they both looked when he abruptly dropped out of the Campaign?
Remember how they both looked disheveled, which was not like them? Perhaps that was when he was forced to drop the bombshell to her.
Just wondering.......

[taterguy]

1. Newspaper today said she found out in 2006

Yawn

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Why do we need to care about this?

That's their personal business. God knows she has enough to worry about already. Let it alone.

[remember2000forever]

3. I'm on her side.

People are saying she was involved by campaigning by her husband's side, all the while knowing. Well, maybe she didn't know.
And yes, I will give it a rest. Thanks for the advice.

[TexasObserver]

6. WE need to know because it is relevant to the issue of her culpability.

YOU may not need to know, which is why your comment in this thread is curious. Why do YOU need to let others know you disapprove of their interest in this topic? Obsessive compulsive? Can't stop yourself? Or are you simply a person who thinks no conversation is complete without your approval or condemnation?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Who pissed in YOUR cornflakes this morning?

Jeez... :eyes:

[TexasObserver]

10. While I realize that is your goal, I don't allow the cranky to rule my day.

Why are you still in a thread that you want to see go away?

I'll tell you why. You're compulsive. You can't help yourself. You NEED to tell others you disapprove of their discussions. Move along, if you can.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. And you are equally compulsive in your need to disapprove of my disapproval.

So you can put me on ignore if you like. It won't hurt my feelings at all. It might even curb your urge to tell me how much you disapprove of my disapproval. Feel free.

[frogcycle]

13. and what the hell is "her culpability" to you, or anyone?

you conducting a fucking trial or something?

we do NOT "need to know."

it would affect NOTHING. ZERO. ZIPPO. Except maybe your voyeuristic curiosity.

[Th1onein]

17. Why is her culpability the issue at ALL, especially on DU?

You know, this woman has cancer. Do you have any decency at all? Who cares if she's "culpable"? Not me, not the electorate, and I don't really see how it's anybody's business but the Edwards' family. He is NOT the nominee; She is not running for any elected office. Let's get out of their personal family business and do the decent, humane thing: leave Elizabeth Edwards alone.

In fact, let's go ahead and do the PROGRESSIVE thing and leave them BOTH to their own private business, shall we?

[Th1onein]

18. And are your PERSONAL attacks on me necessary?

Do you know what the rules here are?

I THINK that the rules allow me to comment anywhere I want to comment, on any topic I'm interested in. This happens to be one of them.

"Why do YOU need to let others know you disapprove of their interest in this topic? Obsessive compulsive? Can't stop yourself? Or are you simply a person who thinks no conversation is complete without your approval or condemnation?" <------ THIS kind of shit is unnecessary.

[TexasObserver]

21. the rules provide ...

... I can tell you I'm putting you on IGNORE, provided I do so. I'm doing so. You're much too angry for me to spend time reading or responding to. You've posted a number of posts directed at me or about me, and based upon those, I choose not to see your name or posts any more.

[Th1onein]

22. Oh my GOSH! I'm heart broken here!

Does everyone see what Texas Observer did to me? He put me on ignore. Oh no! Oh no! I'm crushed, I tell you!

[Th1onein]

4. Who gives a shit? Let it SINK

He's not our nominee, and all of this other shit is just counterproductive. Let it sink. It's none of your or our business ANYWAY. I'm sick of people making politician's personal lives public. They have nothing to do with how those politicians do the work of the people, most of the time. The only ones who really care about this shit are our opponents.

Let it sink, okay?

[TexasObserver]

7. Here's a better idea: don't go into threads you don't want to participate in.

[Th1onein]

16. Here is the BEST idea!

Don't tell me when or where I can participate, and don't try to define what participation is.

[Libby2]

19. You're not nearly as clever as you think you are.

In fact, you're quite transparent, your signature line says it all.

[Th1onein]

20. I don't have a sig line. Texas Observer does.

It says, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

Yeah, I guess that IS pretty transparent, isn't it? Why would someone come on DU and have a Clenis line as their signature? Hmmmmm?

[TexasObserver]

25. Another one?

You're the second annoying poster this thread I've decided to put on IGNORE.

Good luck with that divination you seem to be into. Witchcraft? Astrology?

Have fun with it, but do it without me. I don't like to talk anyone who seems incapable of rational thought.

[hyphenate]

5. My instinct tells me

that somehow, somewhere in the background, Karl Rove's hand is all over this one. Hillary had it correct when she said there was a "vast right-wing conspiracy" out there. It's there, and it's trying to destroy people who oppose people like himself. John Edwards had a lot of spirit, and they destroyed him to the point where he called off his candidacy. They took Hillary, and they made it impossible for her to continue her campaign, and with Obama, they are just pitting him against the terrible prejudice people here have for black people. We know it exists--hell, it's in my own family, and I''m sure in everyone else's family, to some degree.

After those three, very diverse people, the "right-wing conspiracy" is earning its keep, and stepping on any and all of them. I wouldn't be surprised if the woman involved is a rw conspirator.

9. How is this our business? Can we cut the gossip, please? nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. Careful. You're not allowed to comment on threads you don't agree with.

[Th1onein]

23. Right. Unless we all agree, no commenting.

Shhhhh....

[nomaco-10]

14. You need to watch sean hannitty, he said he's gonna get to .....

the bottom of it if it takes everyday, every show for weeks on end (til the convention or maybe even november). Of course that quivering mass of mangina that sits next to him, colmes never said a word. You'd a thought he would of said, "Don't we know enough, isn't the rest of it the personal business of the edwards?".

A man had an affair, a politician. Shocking, just shocking I tell you.

Move along, nothing else to see here.

[fascisthunter]

15. let it sink DU

[Colobo]

24. We'll find out the truth real soon.
