I understood that Tiger Lily was not criticizing Charlie Norwood.

I was upset with using “sick” to describe people who have no illness.

I read the “source” remarks and found them very mild given some different information and perspective.

I’ll accept that Tiger Lily was using a couple figures of speech to express herself.

Will you accept that opinions vary on what the written word means based on not only content, but perspective and information?

You can email me if you wish at michaelwparker@gmail.com.

I’d be glad to hear from you.

You are right, that no matter what religion or lack of religion you hold sacred, it is quite presumptuous to think to know who will be sent to hell. However, TigerL’s comment was more or less a figure of speech, than some form of bible thumpery. I seriously doubt that she was attempting to invoke God’s wraith in order to cast Mr. Matthews into the pit of hell.

The part of your comment that I had a problem with was your claim that she was criticizing Norwood, which is obviously not the case.

TigerLily set herself up as being God Almighty.

Damning the living to Hell.

And, oddly, you don’t have a problem with that.

Mad Dog is just a juvenile delinquent, and it is pointless to try to reason with him. He knew exactly what you meant and was trying to cause trouble, or his grasp of English is as poor as his grasp on reality.

You’re quite welcome to your personal opinions about what is and is not filth.

You’re just Anne Coulter lite.

The “sick” person I was referring to was the man spewing venom about Congressman Norwood, Mr. Mathews, who in my opinion is twisted beyond comprehension.

As for the rest of your nonsense comments, I am not taking the bait.

TL

If you want to put words in TigerLily’s mouth, go right ahead.

Given the filth coming from Ann Coulter’s mouth on a daily basis,and others labeling all the dead in New Orleans rightfully dead in the wraith of God Almighty, etc etc etc … I guess one man’s insensitive and indifferent opinion is too much the the junior GOP and the mainstream GOP to handle.

Damn all the bleeding hearts, eh?

I think we can all agree Mr. Matthews’ comments were incredibly inappropriate and insensitive. He should be ashamed of himself.

I don’t think God sends sick people to Hell. I sort of kind of thought God tries to heal the sick.

Unlike Nancy Schaefer who thinks God punishes evil people with cancer, hurricanes, and various blights.

If you don’t want people passing their judgements on the dying, don’t be passing your judgements on the living.

That make some sense to you?

There is a special place in hell for sick people like him.

I do think it very noteworthy, though, that he is the former (recent) chair of the Oconee County Democratic Party, and that his blog, on which these statements were posted, is the former official site (same domain and url) of the county Democratic Party.

Disgusting.

Even though Congressman Norwood and I are on complete opposite ends of the political spectrum, I do wish him well and hope that he is as comfortable as he can be here at home. I truly admire his wanting to spend his remaining time with his family at home. He and his family will be in my thoughts.

Are you trying to say that this one atrocious blog post is how all Democrats feel about Congressman Norwood?
