Tony Snow 1955 - 2008.

[Sonnabend]

I've been away,because of the cancer from last year and the later issues. I have had breathing problems. Part of my right lung has collapsed and it is slowly healing.

If I've been very shirty recently...now you know why. Fighting for breath is a terrifying feeling.

Fifteen minutes, and the grave dancers begin.

2. Condolences to his family.

I wonder where you go after spending so much of your last years on earth lying?

May you look up from your deathbed after a long, long and tedious life, and see an empty room.May you die alone, unmourned, forgotten, unwanted. May your last breaths be looking out of a window at a world that neither knows nor cares you ever lived.

Tony Snow will be remembered for his courage.

No one will even care who you were.

23. Snow had the best of care.

Tony Snow was a wealthy man and could afford the best of health care. Imagine the prospects of the poor. Would they survive as along as Snow did? Why should we feel sympathy for the family of a man who spent his entire life supporting and defending Conservatism, a political philosophy which would deny medical care to any who can't pay for it?

That is a blatant lie. You know it.I know it. So tell me Mr Hypocrite, who are you to accuse of others of lying?

30. A Special Seat at the Table

I'm sorry that anyone dies in this manner. Cancer is a terrible way to go...

Still, if there is a Hell, there's a special seat with Tony Snow's name on it.

If there is Karma, perhaps he will be reincarnated as someone who can only tell the truth no matter what kind of trouble it gets him into.

No, that table is waiting for you. At this moment, the angels are shouting his name, and all the trumpets are sounded from the other side. God will welcome him into His arms as a brave and worthy son, in whom He is well pleased.

When it comes your turn, take sunblock., It is very warm where you will be going.

18. Well said

And I agree. No death is worth applauding. None.

"He was a man, take him for all in all..I shall not look upon his like again."

Rest well Mr Snow..your courage and strength are an inspiration to many.

DU...you are sick, perverted and evil. May you one day, I pray, learn the folly of your actions. Those who have no compassion receive none in return.

Those of you that lurk...believe me, what you have said has been noticed, and will be remembered.,

For all time.

Dismissed.

43. Pitty to his family....but F_ _ _ Tony eternally

To the Snow family, I will say I am sorry for your loss. As for Tony himself, I will say good bye and good riddance. That lying POS now can live in eternity (if you believe in such crap) thinking about the lies he spread and lives he helped to destroy. Faux, Rush and all the rest of the evil conservative establishment will spew their lies about what a great man Tony was, but anyone with 1/4 of a brain will know that he was just a puppet for the lying MF'ers in the Bush administration.

Dem Dickhead, the only lie here is the one that says where you can be classified as a human being. He was ten times the man and a hundred times braver than you would ever be when faced with your mortality.

He laughed and joked and did his job until he could no longer work. Both the Press and others respected him deeply, and admired who he was and the fact that even when he knew that his last days were coming, preferred to live, until it was time to say goodbye.

Oh and Dickhead...I'd say "f... you" but even a horny camel with a blindfold wouldnt touch you with a fifty foot barge pole.

Please tell me you have no children.

45. I sensed a great disturbance in the Farce.Sounded like a giant cosmic fart.
That you on the way to hell, Tony?

Your avatar speaks volumes...Groucho was a decent man and a brilliant artist.

You're no man at all.

I gave the moderators instructions to delete inappropriate posts about Tony Snow.

Then what do you call what I just posted above, Skinner? Either you are full of it, or your mods aren't doing their jobs.

Its all here and saved for posterity.

32. That may give you satisfaction...
...maybe even a sense of superiority but ignoring the opportunity to force conservatives to consider the horrors of their vile ideology would be foolish.

You want vile? Look in a mirror

50. He leaves an extraordinary legacy.

“The evil that men do lives after them, The good is oft interred with their bones.”

-William Shakespeare

Try this instead, you callous bastard.

That time of year thou mayest in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire
Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

I cannot contrast the difference between the loser liberals and the conservatives any more then to point out the above posts from DUmmy land and compare them to the passing of Tim Russert and the post on this site at his passing.

liberals, progressives, socialist, commies (Why do you feel compelled to change your title so much?) you all are truly lower than whale shit.

[BEG]

I swear, you can't get much lower than to just be a member of DU. These people disgust me. If you are still a member of a place where so many of the people are so hate filled and vile yet still choose to be a member, there is something seriously wrong with you.

54. An occasion to recall the wonderful eulogy delivered by the Rev. Vernon Johns

Edited on Sat Jul-12-08 09:00 AM by HamdenRice
Rev. Johns was pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church of Montgomery, Alabama, and was the immediate predecessor of the Rev. Martin Luther King in that post, and Rev. Johns is sometimes considered the father of the modern civil rights movement.

Rev. Johns had been prevailed upon to deliver the eulogy for a young man whose life had been less than exemplary. Andrew Young remembered the eulogy as follows:

"So and so lived a trifling and worthless life. He went around Montgomery daring someone to cut his throat. Saturday night somebody obliged him. He lived like a dog; he died like a dog. Undertaker claim the body."

That describes you...not him.

They're probably like Robert Byrd. He just went to the cross burnings because they had good BBQ chicken afterwards. He was there for the community, not all the hate.

After all, Byrd supports Obama, he can't be racist.

[Claret1995]

I was at DU this am when this NEWS was posted . It took no time for vile comments. I always admired Mr Snow . His intelligence,wit,demeanor and concise anaylsis of the news was refreshing. I always felt he was a type of QUIET GIANT.

When the dummies started , a deep hidden emotion burst from my bowels, HATRED> I do not enjoy feeling this way. It will go away,soon I hope. For now however it is beyond my strength to make this disappear.

So

Dummies I hate you,I wish I knew the vile people at the dump by face and name. If i came upon you today bleeding,dying in the gutter I would kneel over your body and quietly laugh in you ear. I woulld then divert any traffic toward you claiming,"Look someplace else nothing here to see"

dummies live and hide behind computer screens.no courage not a single cell thatqualifies you as human beings.So you dummie lurkers and trolls,take this back to your sewers,announce that a conservative has called you out. Thou I am older than most or you, I do not fear you. Today I could take you out,IN A heartbeat.

show your faces,you are already in my sights



Thanx for the rant



Tony I will miss you
