AUSTIN, Texas - Liberal Texas columnist Molly Ivins has been hospitalized in her ongoing battle with breast cancer, her assistant said Frida

[GATOR NAVY]

In respect for the old adage that if you can't say something nice about someone it's better to say nothing, I will say nothing.

[unkus]

Same sentiments here.

[Millee]

Terrible disease. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

[struggle]

Remember, you never know what loving prayer and concern for one's enemies will result in. She might have a change of heart, even now.

[philsfan24]

prayers for her recovery. a terrible terrible disease to contend with.

[theDentist]

I hope she recovers and retires.

[MovementConservative]

Prayers for her recovery from cancer and from the liberalism.

[Michael.SF.]

I do hope Ms. Ivin's takes a long break from her writing to focus on recovery. Say 10 to 12 years.

[Michael.SF.]

from cancer and from the liberalism.

But then sir, you repeat yourself.

[Texas_shutterbug]

But you really didn't "say nothing," did you? :)

You made your feelings quite clear by "saying nothing."

Why are you re-posting the same story? Did you do a search?

[shattered]

Prayers headed her way!

[MovementConservative]

Yes, but we still need to pray for liberals. They truly are an unhappy bunch. They may not admit it, but their constant anger, depression and lack of hope are eating them as surely as any cancer. Most of them don't even like themselves.

[trebb]

Always best to say a prayer for even those you loathe than to snipe at their possible death.

Here's to a full recovery and all of God's Blessings.

[reagan_fanatic]

I hope she recovers OK and the Doctors inadvertently sew her mouth shut before they send her home.

[Blackirish]

No one sunk to DU's grave dancing.

This is nice thread

[MichaelP]

It's sad that I have to suppress the thoughts I have...

[Blueflag]

I have little or no respect for her opinions or her vitriol, but I wish her well.

[Russ]

Her hatred of George Bush and Republicans these past six years probably took a toll on her health. Hating that much can never be good...

My wife has had a couple of bouts with breast cancer. I've always believed stress was a factor, as she tends to internalize things. I suppose in keeping with that theory, excess vitriolic hatred could probably cause some health issues, too...

[Marysecretary]

You are sooo right!

[SaxxonWoods]

I must admit that I have never felt any good wishes toward that woman....until now.

I offer prayers for your speedy and full recovery, Ms. Ivins.

[Marysecretary]

Really, you're probably right! I wish her well and pray for her recovery.

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

Threads like these make me really proud to be a FReeper. We don't wish ill upon our opponents during times of misfortune, unlike the other side. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

[Clara Lou]

I abhor Molly and her columns. However, my sister died of breast cancer, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I wish Ivins good health.

[vetvetdoug]

Ms. Ivins, hate is a poison that engenders disease and sickness. I hope she recovers from both of her maladies.

[Thebaddog]

You know what, I respect her strength to stand up for her beliefs while she's throwing in the big chips in the poker game of her life. Obviously none of us agree with her agenda but we are all God's children.

If your beliefs and agendas get you through this, go for it Molly.

[BlessedBeGod]

Prayers that she be healed quickly and completely.

[Loud Mime]

I believe that liberals are more heart than reason. They really don't understand life, and they really don't understand the ways of evil people; that's why they don't fight evil.

Prayers to Molly, for all her maladies.

[westmichman]

Problem is, the disease and sickness is passed on to those who read that tripe. As you say we should pray for both and many besides her may also be healed.

[trisham]

Cancer is a horrible disease. I wish the best for her.

[maxwellp]

Whatever one's political beliefs, cancer affects all of us. Prayers for Molly going up.

[RobbyS]

My best to Molly, even though her politics seems quite bitter. I guess that George Bush feels the same.

[pointsal]

Ditto...more "nothing said" here...

[billphx]

although I find some of her thoughts/ideology repugnant, god bless
