This is Free Republic, not Kos. Granted with the number of registered posters there’s likely to be a “bad apple” or two in the bunch. But I would hope that members of the media would consider that fact, but then again....what am I saying....the media actually thinks they now have the right to select our President, even illegally gain access to or publish citizens’ private information.

I wonder if he now regrets not having seen her enough over his adult life to have even one photos of them together that isn’t 25 years old?

It is the right way to do it.

Well, in my neighbor's case, he was begging to not be overdosed to death. The day chosen as the appointed time was decided because it was the last day before his "had gotten one extension" hospice benefit through medicare ran out.

As for O's Granny, may she RIP. I would not disagree with your opinion as to the decision of the when of her passing.

No, just a dumb thing some FReepers and Drudge are running with. Pathetic. He was scratching his nose with his middle finger, while talking about JM... Pathetic

Personally, I highly doubt anyone is going to feel very much sympathy for a woman, whose only connection to her grandson is a decades old photo and one who same grandson describes as a typical racist white person.

RIP, Mrs. Dunham. Sympathies to her family and friends.

By the way, I hope her grandson gets his arse kicked tomorrow.

"Obama gave McCain the bird?"

Yep...it's on Drudge. Top of the right column, with another link right under it referring to Bambi's doing the same thing to Hillary. It had been posted as the lead story earlier today.

Thoughts and prayers for the family and friends. Thank you, Mrs. Dunham, for doing what you could to raise your son and, as he said, love him very much.

Really not a cool statement at this juncture.

Just what "juncture" is it?

Yes, it figures that the MSM is covering this story so as to distract attention from B Hussein. If McCain’s mother or other family member died, would you hear a peep out of the MSM? NO! The media brats were surely paid a lot of money by the Obama campaign to cover this the way they did.

I will pray that this woman goes to heaven, but I’m also glad that she didn’t live to see her grandson screw up the country, if he happens to win.

Are you the free speech police? I’m boycotting NBC and with good reason. The mainstream media is propaganda. You might not like it but that’s how it shakes out.

From the link: Soetoro-Ng said in a follow-up statement: "My grandmother made her home on these islands since 1959, and she loved the people of Hawaii. We want to thank Tutu's friends and extended 'ohana for the outpouring of aloha over the past few weeks. We received cards, letters, and gifts that helped lift her spirits, and we are very grateful for everybody's support."

The Honolulu medical examiner's office said it did not handle the case, suggesting that Dunham's death was an "attended death" monitored by a physician.

I’m curious about your defintion of “juncture”.

I suspect that “juncture” means “at this time”, or “at this particular point in time”.
