Good idea. Those children should not be let out by themselves. They need someone to watch over them until they grow up.

[Purrcival]

Y'know, one thing has occurred to me while following all of this action:

I remember one thread in DUmmieland, just after news of Laura Ingraham's cancer broke. The DUmmies were submitting inane posts about how people with cancer had developed the disease because they were "full of hate", and that Laura Ingraham's cancer was proof positive that she was "full of hate". I remember thinking at the time that this would come as a surprise to Elizabeth Edwards, or Melissa Etheridge, or even John Kerry (who had prostate cancer...good, I left the extra "r" out of "prostate" this time). And in fact, Elizabeth Edwards, herself, appeared on the thread to smack 'em down for those comments.

So now, DUmmie Undie claims to have cancer. I didn't see any of the DUmmies claiming that he had developed it because he was "full of hate".

[aBootes]

actually they want digital pictures from the operating room

Hey! The DUmmies are watching me watch them! I made it into DU -- too bad my sarcasm seems to have been lost in the transmission, though.

Aw well. If you can't pick up on sarcasm, you can't pick up on frauds, either, I guess.

Here we go again. Another thread asking how to donate to Undie:

[Celtic Rose]

You know, somehow, I am completely unsurprised. It takes some serious guts to start asking for more money in the middle of something like this. Even if he were innocent, the whole thing just looks bad.

[Duke Nukum]

I considered myself a liberal at one point, even though I voted for Reagan the first election I could vote (I was going into the army the next day, and I'd heard Reagan was good for the military) but I voted for Du-whathisname in '88, figuring he wasn't going to win anyway.

But now I think I was just ignorant.

[Purrcival]

Nah, they just don't understand sarcasm unless you include that blood-dripping "sarcasm" icon they use over there.

[imskylark]

"takes some serious guts to start asking for more money in the middle of something like this. "

They will probably start donating left and right just because we are watching.

[aBootes]

And I hear that this "Greatauntoftriplets" seems to pop up whenever Andy's cause needs a boost... That SN is up twice in a seven-post thread this time! Must be gettin' harder to raise money.

[Purrcival]

And DUmmie Rex chimes in on this thread: ===========================================================Rex (1000+ posts) Thu May-12-05 11:36 PM Response to Original message 7. I haven't chimed in on this because of the s**t storm. I don't know Andy, but I do want to say two things about the whole situation and then I'm shutting up about it - I've been here a long time and I trust some of you because you've been around for years too and haven't wavered in your beliefs or run off in anger. If Will Pitt says it is true than I believe it because Will isn't just helping out a friend - he has put his reputation on the line. People don't just do that. Two, what you people here have done reminds me of the true teachings of Christ - help those who are in need no matter what the cost. =========================================================== DUmmie PUnidiot Will Pitt said it, so it must be true? Oh, yeah, that settles EVERYTHING. "I found it on the Internet, so it must be truuuuuuuuuuue!" And yes, Christ taught us to help those who are in need

The question is, is Undie really in need? Or is he just scammin' yall?

[Not A Snowbird]

Now, you wouldn't want to hold the DUmmies to the same standards they hold us to, would you?!

[imskylark]

"Two, what you people here have done reminds me of the true teachings of Christ - help those who are in need no matter what the cost. "

These people bash Christianity constantly but when they want to make a so-called point, they call upon it.

[KJC1]

Good observation. She is really johnny-on-the-spot isn't she? ;^)

[steve-b]

A lot of people depend upon me for their paychecks

If you're pressed for time, maybe you can just crank out a bunch of Andy's Generic Cashier's Checks.

[KJC1]

One more thing about "greatauntoftriplets".

Look at the time-stamp on the original post and the time of her reply. 4 minute difference, and she typed a medium-sized reply, complete with links and info.

Very efficient, eh?

[Purrcival]

May have it on a NotePad or WordPad document, ready to copy-and-paste.

[aBootes]

Very efficient, eh?

Yeah, she's a ringer for sure. Well, well. Very interesting. And if I can figure it out after just 24 hours of DUmmie watching, it's pretty bad.

[Purrcival]

Well, good night, y'all. I don't expect much more action tonight, so I'm calling it a night. But I fully expect to log on Friday afternoon and find that things have exploded again.

[NewsGuyTwo]

Er, This is Newsguyone, logged in as NewsguyTwo.
Banned Duer just watching the show.

Just got back from playing hockey, and my posting privilege is gone as Newsguyone.

Explanation? I'll leave, but I'd like to know if I busted some kind of rule.

[MisterRepublican]

I was thinking the same thing. They lash out at "heartless, right wingers who have no compassion". Go look at their comments regarding Laura Ingraham and her fight with breast cancer. Overall, they are caring and compassionate. But the rantings of some (who haven't since been deleted) are pretty vicious. Even some of the DU'ers themselves were disgusted by it.

One that really stuck out for me was from Marnieworld and should have been deleted immediately, but wasn't; it states:

"She's another Ann Coulter. David Brock wrote much about Ingrahm in "Blinded by the Right." She is part of everything evil in the GOP since the revolution in the late 80s. F*** Laura Ingrahm. F*** her."

While I do not deny that their are mean and nasty Freepers and that this may have been a troll (I should have done a screen capture) I have never read anything like that at FR that wasn't immediately deleted.
