    Make that a particularly slow form of cancer, you depraved and worthless bigot.

    that's the liberal agenda folks! "you disagree with me so I hope you die a slow horrible death. now support my brand of fairness and compassion because i am a real humanitarian!" well that and "look how generous i am with other people's money, i am such a giving person!" no wonder youre all a bunch of frothing at the mouth emotional nancyboys who hate logic.

    you are winning more converts to conservatism than rush limbaugh could hope for. please keep it up.
