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."

I thought she had cancer... I didn't know she had dementia as well.

Some diseased woman doesn't like you.

Isn't being diseased supposed to make one immune from criticism?

Edwards views Johnson as a "rabid, rabid Republican" who refuses to clean up his "slummy" property just to spite her family, whose lavish 28,000-square-foot estate is nearby on 102 wooded acres.

28,000 sq ft. Add to that the excessive hair spray use and just imagine his carbon footprint.....

Maybe she just IS a bad neighbor. If they don’t like it let ‘em load up the truck & move to Bever-lee. NC won’t miss them.

Just like Jesse Jackson needs the nationa divided racially for job security in his business, Mrs. Edwards needs to keep the Two Americas” apart for her husbands campaign

*** The property and home, which includes an indoor basketball court, an indoor handball court and an indoor pool, is valued at $5.3 million.
The Edwardses are still putting the final touches on the property, which they purchased in 2003. ***

Who says chasing Ambulances doesn’t pay well!

When I read things like this, I realize that a sizeable portion of the voting American public is stupid as they can be. Otherwise, someone as hypocritical as Edwards could never ever be elected to public office. This of course, is VERY depressing.

"I thought he was supposed to be for the poor people," Johnson said. "But does he ever socialize with any poor people? He doesn't speak to me."

Johnson said he has put his property on the market, in part blaming the high property taxes for his decision to leave. He also wants to move for another reason.

"I don't want to live somewhere where someone's always complaining abou

I smell a democrat rat. I betcha there is a LOT more to the story than what is written here.

First guess... the Edwards campaign is a fizzle and needs some "juice" to get it going.

Second guess... there is bs afoot in pushing the guy off his land, spreading propaganda to run the price down for lib friends perhaps?

That was my first thought, too -- "Uh-oh. Here it comes. She'll be stumping for the Dixie Chicks and global warming next, and no one will dare criticize her. She's got cancer, don'cha know."

“She lives! 22 weeks, 9.5 inches. Go, baby, go!”

I apparently missed a prayer thread. May I ask for more info, or a link to the thread?

Cheers!

IIRC in 2004 she made some references about DU and there would be riots if GWB won.

This is the Democrat Party. A terrorist organization.

She has never met the man and yet she has vowed to hate him.

Sounds to me like she is going off half-cocked.

She would probably feel more secure if a transvestite lived next door... a true liberal supporter.

“Is that clear cutting I see?

Or is that ok now. I can’t keep up.”

I don’t think you can see the clear cutting for the house.

Or is that “see the forest for the trees.”

I think you’ve confused me now too.

Why you don’t vote for liberals.

Maybe the cancer is a gift from the God that they lie about praying to.

Oh brother. Like the Republicans are the crazy bad guys. The Dems are the rabid ones. Unfortunately, this lady is no good.

The gave enough information to identify the guy specifically. Colloquium? Check. She called him “rabid.” Capable of defamatory meaning? Check.

Sorry, but in my opinion, no jury would treat “rabid” as an assertion of fact. It is clearly intended to mean that she is identifying him as an extreme or ardent Republican, which is a matter of opinion, and not “harmful” even if factually untrue.

Like calling someone a “major league a$$****.”

Nothing remotely like falsely calling someone a “criminal”, “tax cheat”, or “child molester.”
