I hope she gets better soon, she's awesome.

Clinton/Jones '08

I too hope she gets well soon. She has a great personality and I like her.

A dead Clinton supporter in Arkansas. Now this. Does McCain know who he is dealing with?

A dead Clinton supporter in Arkansas. Now this. Does McCain know who he is dealing with?

do not forget the broken ancle in california, seems many of hillary delagates are meeting ill fates.

Geevill: "Does McCain know who he is dealing with?"

The answer to that question, regardless of context, is probably a no.

Even thought I do not personally like her political style, I would never wish any ill personal harm to anyone. Wishing her a full and speedy recovery.

Bob Lee,
Your sick A33 need to read your own comment and watch what you said, karma is a Bi### and people who think they are excluded are also...

Pretty surprising how no major conservative politicians seem to have accidents. But liberals have plane crashes, bicycle deaths, and- medical emergencies while driving. Just fascinating.

Bob Lee: Stay classy you louse ridden piece of garbage. Here's wishing you a death in a house fire.

When I first saw this story I was hoping it was that stupid wacko mean Jean Schmidt. I do hope this congress woman gets better. Lets also vote Chabot out of district 1 in 2008.

B

Cheney shot someone, that is not a major accident. You are an idiot.

Bob Lee is an A**hole.

Bob Lee... Your family must be proud in raising the village idiot...

Bob Lee is absolutely right. Whenever some personal tragedy befalls a Republican, the oh-so-tolerant and compassionate left breaks out in unbridled glee. But say a word against some sainted Democrat, and your a hatemonger

typical republican scum

I wish the Congresswoman the best of wishes for better health. I also had a brain aneurysm (10 years ago) and the road to recovery is long and hard.

Careful, Rick. Your tolerance is showing!!!

What does it matter as to who this lady who has dedicated her life to enter the battlezone of American politics, supported? It does not matter that she is a politician...she is a human being and her family members are human beings. Common sense dictates that we wish her a full recovery and her family less pain. Whatever there is between her actions and God is for God to judge...not us.

I am very conservative and it sickens me to think any of the same mind would wish anyone harm.

Alos, the conspiracy views are just hilarious! Don't you know more people have died that crossed the Clintons than anyone else in history? LOLROTF

I think I just heard they are going to have a news conference and she died.

if personal tragedy would befall the right republican(s) there'd be unbridled glee like you've never seen before

Bob Lee,

I guess your evil a33 got your wish, she just died. I hope your worthless a33 get all the hell satan can bring to your worthless life

She is in GRAVE condition and you are making jokes... what a sick person you must be.

Grow up !

CNN just reported Rep. Tubbs-Jones has died. My prayers go out to her friends, family, and the State of Ohio.

They took her off life support this afternoon. She was a great Hillary supporter and will be missed. To her credit she wasn't just voting for her skin color and stayed true to the Clinton's. She was a shoe in for her reelection. Deadlist congress in years, they are saying...quite a few black women. RIP.

That make 2 superdelagte who could of switched to Clinton gone in a week. They are dying like young gay black men in Chicago did earlier.

CNN is reporting that she has died.

C-Town..was that for me?

I was commenting on the lunacy of Geevill's and B's conspirical supposition that Tragedy happens only to Liberal Democrats.

Hey G&B, maybe it is because Dem's do it to eachother and Rep's wouldn't stoop so low.

Rep. Jones has passed. You are behind, ABC. May her soul rest.

This is an OUTRAGE, this Aneurysm is a racist attack, why isn't the ACLU on this matter. I believe this was a racist attack. We need to get the ACLU and the FBI to invesigate this racist attack by the Aneurysm's.

A dead Clinton supporter in Arkansas. Now this. Does McCain know who he is dealing with?
Posted by: geevill | Aug 20, 2008 12:01:53 PM

Who is McCain dealing with? God? People please use some sense, I know this geevill isn't the sharpest knife but I have seen this comment twice already...

KevinGets it.

Hey Everyone,
God, Karma, Pay-It-Forward, or whatever, her family is hurting.

Isn't it more American to wish her family less pain and more healing?

My prayers and condolences to the Jones family may she rest in peace. It's unfortunate that misinformed (dumb) American’s are attempting to place a political spin on her death. It’s not about your political affiliation it’s about a human life being lost.

How could anyone wish evil on someone? I did not realize that their were so many sick peoples in this world. These idiots that write such hate trash must be ugly miserable creatures that that never had a life of their and would be better of by taking a nap on the freeway. Get rid of the trash!

My prayers go out to her family and friends.

Just goes to show what a farce the conservative right really is...They claim to have a lock on what Gods desires for us as humans to represent..yet they can not manage to practice any human compassion for those that they disagree...Every evil they practiced..slavery, wars, occupation and destruction of other peoples and cultures they have done in the name of God...and you wonder why people are turning away from religion...

Reports coming in from Cleveland say she has passed away :(

Hey Women for Obama,

You just don't get it, do you? You are completely off topic.

Let's make it clear: you, like others, are addressing political issues in the wrong forum.

This is the "The Lady just Died" forum, not the "Let's Bash Christianity" or the "I'm a Black Muslim (No, I'm Not) Candidate" forum.

Those topics should be discussed elsewhere. thanks.

Bob Lee,

You are an ignorant *******!

It's people like you who makes America disgusting!

now CNN is saying critical condition. What blunder to first report that she had died...

To Bob Lee:
*********************
Remember when the libs were joyful over Tony Snow's death and Bob Novak's brain tumor? Payback's a B**CH ain't it! My only question is how did they diagnose brain death in someone who never had a BRAIN!?

************
God in neither DEM or REP...he sits High and Looks LOW....

Be ever so careful NOT to OFFEND HIM !!

Now W4O!

Now, is when to talk about the political sensationalist media! They have to get their story and don't care who it hurts!

It's apparent that there are some very stupid people writing these blogs. How insensitive can you be. It's no joke regarding Ms Tubbs-Jones. I just heard she is in critical condition with little brain activity. However, those of you who make light of such a serious situation, it may be your turn next.

Stop the ignorance. It's not cute!

I'm sure most of you people are grown. That being said its a sorry commentary.
I wonder what your children are like!

Hi Shay,

Actually, I am a twelve year old homeschooler....care to match me up to your typical "dumb-scrhool" attender? Most of you would say, "This is why home-schooling should be stopped...they are starting to think faster than we can control!"

I will take your chastisment and stop playing around.

My best wishes to the family.

She's a great American. My thoughts with her family during these tragic times.

More proof that Conservative Republicans are evil,souless and really follow the teachings of :SATAN!

Our prayers are with Rep. Tubbs-Jones friends, family and many supporters.

While many of us mourn, we must strenghten our resolve to carry out her mission, belief and message in Denver, and beynd.

There is no issue here. She died and there should be well wishes and support for her family. May God rest her soul.

Ok, I need to back off the news sites. She is not dead, but in critical condition. Damn these me first sites.

To sick twists "Bob Lee" & "Geevil" - How incredibly sad it must be to find such delight in the pain and misery of others. If Rep. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones was your mother or sister, would you be ecstatic about her trauma? I imagine you both living in a pig-sty of a house, sitting in your filthy sweatpants, fat, lazy, digusting and unable to get anyone to like or even pay attention to you. So you go on blogs like this and delight and mock human tragedies like this. I am a well-educated man, not prone to vulgarities, but if I met either of you, after reading your sick, twisted and pathetic comments on this site, I would call you to your faces what you both are...Sick Fat F**Ks. This dedicated, friendly, and intelligent congresswoman is a million times the men you both are.

Confusing news reports...now saying she didn't die and is still on life support.

If Bob Lee and cw are examples of compassionate conservatism, then make me a liberal. I don't recall anyone celebrating Tony Snow's death or for that matter Bob Novak's brain tumor. What is wrong with Americans when they can't separate their politics and their humanity?

Richard, Exactly!

Oh, come on, W4O! This is where to blast someone that is truly doing something deplorable.

What's wrong? Why aren't you slamming them?

W4O, you have a strange imbalance...

Oh yeah, and "KevinGets" - same to you, you pathetic excuse for a human being.
If Rep. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones has, in fact, passed away; then my sincere condolences to her family. They must be really proud of her in many ways. I watched her commentaries many times on "Hardball" on MSNBC and always admired her "tough friendliness". She had a contagious smile. There was just no way you could not like her. Way too young to pass too. God Bless her!

Ooops! CNN earlier had a headline reporting that she was dead. Yikes!!

And I meant to add now they are reporting hospitalized. Sounds like someone jumped the gun?

To "Catherine" - To answer your intelligent and compassionate question, I believe that it is simply because they may be mentally ill. Or just plain miserable in their own pathetic lives. Either way, it is best to tell them where they can shove their hatred and then move on, thanking God that you & I and the majority of human beings are not like them at all.

Catherine wrote: "I don't recall anyone celebrating Tony Snow's death or for that matter Bob Novak's brain tumor."

Then you are willfully ignorant or a recent newcomer to internet news sites. I remember it distinctly ON THIS VERY BOARD.

"What is wrong with Americans when they can't separate their politics and their humanity?"

Tell it to the ghouls on the Daily Kos who also reveled Tony Snow's death and Novak's diagnosis.

and BTW, I said nothing about Mrs. Jones' diagnosis, I merely remarked on the lack of compassion shown when Novak and Snow were taken ill. If you choose to align yourself with such people that is your problem.

Catherine,

It is well noted on many different sites the lack of Human decency afforded the families of both T. Snow and B. Novak. It doesn't make it a viable "quid pro quo", but it should not be denied either.

Morris,

your guy Obama is the one who said "McCain doesn't know who he;' dealing with"

Conspiracy theorists show that a lot of folks flew out of the cuckoo's nest. Prior comments on the Arkansas state chair who was shot tried to blame it on the Clintons as he had said he would vote for Obama at the convention. The fact is he was shot by a crazed person who just lost his job. NPR had a story that Congresswoman Tubbs since died but I haven't seen it confirmed elsewhere.

Debra, Thank you.

Ok, now it is the "Is She or Isn't She Dead?" forum...those of you that want to bash the media for incompetence can stay, but anyone opposed to conveying or discussing our condolences and support to the family needs to go down the hall to the "My Candidate is really an Arab and only 6.25% Black" forum.

cw, etal. True, I don't spend a lot of time on the websites. I didn't see anything mean about Snow or Novak. If I had, my response would have been the same. I don't mix my politics with my care and concern for my fellow human beings. We can have honest difference of opinions based on our own paradigms. I think we should be evolved enough to be able to disagree with a thought without demonizing the person.

This is not the time or place to debate. I may disagree with her on her politics, but that does not matter at this time.

I live in one of her district communities,and now join many in praying for her.

Let us all realize that each one of us is important as we stand together...we are Americans.

My condolences to her family and friends. It seems that this was a woman who genuinely cared about what she did and worked hard at it. Regardless of your political allegiance, that is admirable.

I don't understand this. Don't you people think about God? This woman is a human being, regardless of her political persuasion. Do you realize that you will have to answer to God one day on why you hate so much? Will it be worth it, when He has to say "depart from Me, I never knew you?" Please stop making sport of this woman's misfortune. Please. Thank you.

GOD SPEED Rep Jones, Your an awsome woman who has raised the bar, you proved to me that anything is attainable, thru courage, guts, and fortitude, and determination.

May God send you a speedy recovery, Congresswoman Jones. We will see you in Denver with your always graceful and cheerful dynamic personality. God bless.

Thank you PhillyPaul, but I really wouldn't dream of telling them to shove it. I figure their hate will consume them first. Raises the blood pressure and cortisol and before you know it, we are sending them and their families good wishes just as we do the Novak, Snow and Jones families.

Alas, this woman is for all intents and purposes ,dead. 58, what a shame. Hypertension is a big killer in the black population. We just lost Isaac Hayes the same way.

My prayers and best wishes to the family. I would like to note to those who are spewing hate, regardless of what happens to Stephanie Tubbs Jones, which is soley the will of the will of God. If she leaves this earth today or tommorrow, she would have left a mark,and would be remembered and missed by many, whether you agreed with her or not, she made a difference, she did not just take up air and space in this world, she took action and helped others and fought for others, what have you done? who will miss you? who will mourn you? who will remember you? so continue to take up air and space and spew hate, she made a difference and if her time is up then that probably means that she has fullfilled her purpose.

God Bless her and her family.

"very limited brain activity"...."

"inaccessible part of her brain"

my condolences to her family. i hope they are in discussions about donor status, so this brilliant woman can live on in others.

bless her heart.

Let's remember we are talking about a fellow American here. Regardless of her political affiliation she deserves our respect. We would all be better off if we could show that same respect while people were healthy and alive. Maybe we wouldn't be facing so many problems as a nation if we did!
She served the people of her State for many years. May God Bless her and her family during their time of grief.

Bless her heart. I feel for her family, doesn't sound good... it sounds like they might have to make a call. I just went through this with my father in law.. it's horrible.

"If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

It doesn't matter what is in your writings, here on this blog, as much as it matters what is in your heart.

It is superstitious to think God would slam you down and send you straight to hell for joking around at someone's death. But, it is very real to not choose to have a personal relationship with Him.

In consideration of life and death, take this moment to consider where you are in relation to His free gift of life.

Don't know Him? Just ask Him to reveal Himself to you and become your friend. He is all forgiving...every thought He knows and He loves you anyway. Just ask Him.

Try this: Think of Him now and ask Him, "What do you think of me? Why do you love me so much?" The next part is as easy as asking a favor from your best friend. "Will You come be a part of my life, whatever that means?"

He will do the rest.

<><

May God bless her and her family. She has made a good name for herself, daring to stand on solid principles with courage and conviction. Our country needs more voices like hers.

God Bless You Stephanie! Even you were for Hillary, we still love you and wish you well. Our prayers go out to you and family members.

I heard on the news that she was no longer with us. Is she still alive?

It's a demonstration of the sad state of this nation when people use a devasting human experience to unveil the cruel nature of their own character. Shame of all us for putting up with the incredibly malicious comments above. As a people we should stand for something higher.
My heart is with the family at this time.

I pray and wish Congresswoman Jones for a speedy recovery. May the Lord be with her and her family during this critical times.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Stephanie Tubb-Jones and her family.

I'm sure both republicans and democrats have idiots attached to their party. It's tacky to take a time like this and get nasty. Engaging them isn't recommended either. My thoughts are with the family.

RIP

Breaking news: She just địe Very sorry. RIP.

I am so sorry about the passing of Stephanie Tubbs Jones. I was hoping and praying she can pull through.
She was an exciting surrogate for the Dems and a great Congresswoman of Ohio.
She will be missed.

She will be in my prayers.
Luv ya Jones may you rest in peace

I just heard the news that she has passed away. We have lost a truly wonderful woman. Rest in Peace.

Rest in Peace, Stephanie.

I would suggest to those posting the negatives about the death of the congresswoman to not let yourselves become as the low life scum that celebrated the deaths of Tony Snow and Jesse Helms...and that scum knows who they are.

I had the priviledge of hearing her speak during the campaign for Hillary. She was a fine woman. I will never forget her energy, charisma and strength. Rest in Peace Stephanie!

It's sad.
RIP Ms Tubbs Jones.

I am so sorry for the Congresswomen and her whole family. Brain aneurysm's happen so quickly. I know only to well what you are going through, six years ago I lost my Mother to a brain aneurysm, she was also behind the wheel of her car coming home from church two days later we had to make the choice to remove her life support. We never had a chance to talk to her again. I just am so very sorry for your loss and the struggle you must be dealing with. My prayers are with you all.

I remember she used to be at Hillary Clinton's campaign most of times.
She got all those energy to support Clinton.
We'll miss you Ms Jones.

Well, my condolences to the Jones family. The debate on politics should never get this acidic. No one on either side of the political debate should wish death or illness on another person. If you are doing so because of the other person's political beliefs, then politics is probably above the intellectual level that your brain stem can support and you should leave this site for something less stressful like the Springer show.

She will be missed for a very long time. She was the best thing Ohio and the nation had at a time of economical struggle and war. She is a fighter for all humanity and she will be forever. May you rest in the Lord's loving hands Ms. Stephanie Tubbs Jones -- we all love you so very much !!

Those who choose to post the nasty comments in times such as this are those who hide behind their computer. Sad individuals...they'd never have the nerve to speak so in public. They are weaklings.

Regardless of who she supported, what her politics were, etc., her friends and family are suffering now. May she rest in peace and I pray for those who loved her and will miss her.

I am a Repub from just east of Cleveland. Rep. Jones was not my congresswoman, but I taught school for a long time in her district. She was a great lady. I am glad to see that at least some of these posts are respectful towards her or respectful o
