RALEIGH, N.C. - Elizabeth Edwards says she is scared of the "rabid, rabid Republican" who owns property across the street from her Orange County home - and she doesn't want her kids going near the gun-toting neighbor.
Edwards, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, particularly recalls the time neighbor Monty Johnson brought out a gun while chasing workers investigating a right of way off his property. The Edwards family has yet to meet Johnson in person.
"I wouldn't be nice to him anyway," Edwards said in an interview. "I don't want my kids anywhere near some guy who when he doesn't like somebody, the first thing he does is pull a gun out. It scares the business out of me."

Or is that ok now. I can’t keep up.
Maybe she just has a bad neighbor.
why mention the “gun toting” except as to create peril.
This is not reporting this is play writing. Who is the author who said if a gun is mentioned in a play it means the gun must be used later.
This is BS to set up an expectation of violence whre there is none.
Why not just call the neigbor “thought criminal double plus ungood.”
The media is incompetent.
Why does this remind me of Cindy Shehag camping out next to GWB’s property in Texas? I guess what goes around, comes around!
I see he wants to sell his property. Sounds like a great place for a gun range or a used trailer lot! No! Wait! A Gay Bar would be fitting, & Mrs. Edwards could then rest easy about the safety of her kids.
The Edwards clan are scared of many things. The Breck Girl is scared of Fox News and now the old lady is scared of a neighbor who’s Republican and owns a gun.
Thank goodness this clan will never live in the White House.
This is what happens when you believe your own propaganda.
Hmmmmm....so there are no “gun toting” guards guarding the Edward’s family while on the stump....or at home.....I find THAT hard to believe.
“What’s the difference between a rabid Republican and a rabid Democrat?”
One really is diseased. It’s not the 1st one.
If she scared she should send the SilkyPony™ over there to protect her.
Mr. Johnson is not a public figure so, it seems, a case for slander could be made.
I think Ms. Edwards should be more afraid of that bum of a leech she calls a husband who would probably sue her and his own kids at the drop of a hat if he thought he could make an extra nickel.
Jeez, I mean they probably own 100 acres. The guy's probably over a mile away. She could see the frothing at the mouth here in SoFlo before she'll ever see him coming...
It's interesting that you say that. My initial impression upon hearing of Mrs. Edwards illness was that I wouldn't put it past those slimeballs to make it up. Some people would literally sell their soul to the devil to get what they want; and, I believe these two would (and already have in a sense).
His family has been there since before the depression and he’s putting his property up for sale because he doesn’t want to live by someone who’s always complaining about him? They move in 2003, he’s had the place since before the depression, they are running him off his own property? I wouldn’t leave, not for nothing.
If they didn't come to the door and ask permission, they were trespassing. There are quite a few people around my place that don't understand the concept of private property either, until I explain it to them in terms they can comprehend. I don't get as many trespassers as I used to.
Sadly, the guy may be a Republican, but he won't be confused with a Conservative.
