Flowers For Tony Snow?

[MannyGoldstein]

Of course Tony bats for the Dark Side - but I think that most of us feel bad for his new diagnosis.

Is there any interest in sending flowers or some other appropriate gift? We can show the Right that we practice what we preach - loving our neigbor as ourselves. Might set a good example.

1. I say donate to Edwards' campain in Tony's name.

:D

[MADem]

5. Wow, Bill Clinton, is that YOU? That's some of the most succinct triangulation I have seen in a

LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time!!!!!

[truebrit71]

2. I despise everything this man stands for...but I hope he can recover from this...

..cancer doesn't care what your political affiliation is...

[Midlodemocrat]

3. I feel sorry for him, but I'll save my flower money for Elizabeth.

32. Been doing it for years, along with the sister sites.

4. Sorry, no.

I feel bad that he has cancer, but flowers are a bit much.

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. I agree. nt

[tanyev]

6. Donation to an organization that either does cancer research, or

helps cancer victims who don't have health insurance.

[Eurobabe]

28. agreed.

[tnlefty]

7. Can you imagine his reaction to receiving flowers from the

Democratic Underground?

On second thought, are you trying to kill the poor man? ;-)

[tanyev]

14. Homeland Security would probably intercept them and blow them up

long before they made to Tony.

[Horse with no Name]

8. I will make a donation in his name

to the Cancer Society. But no flowers. Sorry.

[Ian David]

9. I suggest donating to charity in his name, instead. How about The Juno Foundation?

The Juno Foundation of Orlando is dedicated to lesbians with cancer, their partners and caregivers. The purpose of the foundation is to improve the health and well being of cancer patients through grants that are awarded by the Juno Foundation; to raise awareness and promote advocacy; and, to provide valuable resources and informational support on the many emotional and practical issues that arise from a cancer diagnosis.

The co-founders of the Juno Foundation of Orlando are Pati Williams and Genie Wood. Both founders have close friends or family members who have or are surviving cancer. It is through those personal experiences that they have created Juno's unique support model– a foundation that strives to honor survivors by helping other lesbians who may not have the support they need to battle their illness.

An individual does not get cancer, a family does. So, when you donate or support the Juno Foundation, you provide renewed hope for all our sisters living with cancer. Juno believes we can share of ourselves, come together and make a difference.

13. I LOVE that idea!

it's snarky *and* wonderful all at the same time. :bounce:

[yardwork]

11. What a lovely idea!

Please let us know where you set up the account and the details.

[Donnachaidh]

12. my money is going to Edwards

there is no appropriate *gift* for someone who has helped cause so much damage to this country. I wish him well, and hope for his recovery, but anything other than that? Nope. not at all. :shrug:

[bdamomma]

18. yea, all the best to him.

but he also has contributed to the dismantling of our country, rude comment perhaps, but truthful.

[Benhurst]

16. Cancer is terrible, and I hope Snow gets well. He has served, however, as

an enabler for a criminal administration which has killed hundreds of thousands (the latest study says over a million) Iraqi citizens, men women and children.

Any man's illness or death is unfortunate.

We did not send flowers to Saddam's family.

I don't think we should send flowers to Snow.

[cassiepriam]

17. Donate the money instead to maimed Iraqi children and US soldiers.

Mr. Snow has the best health care in the world.

The Iraqis have none, and the US troops not much better.

[bdamomma]

20. those beautiful iraqi children.

do you have a website in mind?

[cassiepriam]

24. I don't know of one, but it is a good idea. Maybe someone should start one.

[yardwork]

19. I know someone who knew him way back when and said he was a very nice person

She was very surprised by his later career choice.

I'm sorry that he is so ill, and I send my thoughts and prayers to him and his family. This is very bad news.

[gollygee]

21. There's someone suffering with cancer in my own family

and I'm trying to help her out as much as I can - she has a lot of medical bills. I adore Elizabeth Edwards, and I don't adore Tony Snow but I certainly feel for him and his family, but I have limited money and people in my own family who need help.

[Gold Metal Flake]

22. No.

[northzax]

23. I think a donation to the American Cancer Society

from the DU Community would be a nice touch. I would chip in.

[youthere]

25. Bat for the "other side" or not, he's still a human being with an awful disease...

and I wish nothing but the best possible outcome for him and his family. I think this is a wonderful proposal, but I agree with Northzax..maybe a contribution to the American Cancer Society or similar organization? Prayers for the Snow family.

[WinkyDink]

26. Okay, what is the precedent here?

Has DU had flower campaigns for wounded vets at WR?

[donsu]

27. why would you send flowers to a neo con criminal?

[hang a left]

29. Too bad he has cancer

I will save my money to buy an airline ticket to my uncle's funeral. He is in his last days of a horrible cancer that has spread throughout his body. A beautiful man. Salt of the earth.

I know it isn't "allowed" here but I could give a shit, really. His own venom ate up his body,

[Iwasthere]

30. I have an idea - The perfect place to donate money on behalf of Tony

How about donating somewhere that will REALLY have an impact on Cancer research and Health care. Hey, I know one - The Edwards Campaign (As president John Edwards will be an incredible advocate for cancer research) but he has to get there first).

[AlinPA]

31. No. They may take it the wrong way.

[dkofos]

33. Dead ones maybe

[debbierlus]

34. My Aunt is having surgery for thyroid cancer tomorrow

I think I will send her flowers. She is a lovely, kind, sweet woman. Why not send flowers to a person who is suffering from cancer, besides Tony Snow? (I am not suggesting sending flowers to my aunt! Just suggesting thinking of cheering up a good, regular everyday person who is suffering). I do not wish ill on Tony Snow, but I don't think very highly of him. I would much rather send flowers or donations in the name of a person I respect instead of someone I openly disrespect.

[Bake]

35. Not just "no" but "Hell to the NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

I wish him well, but I'd rather eat a dog turd than send Snowjob flowers!

Bake

36. It's a nice idea; but a problem is that if he receives flowers from a group like this...

it might just make him feel as though he must be about to die immediately, or why would his 'enemies' suddenly be kind to him.

I think the best thing may be to donate to cancer research. There are too many people with this awful disease.
