I just heard this on the local radio. The Enquirer has an article about John Edwards love child

[Quixote1818]

Sure enough Drudge has it up on his website. :eyes:

[monmouth]

1. And it needs to be posted here? How rude...n/t

[Quixote1818]

9. I am a John Edwards supporter

Someone is going to post it sooner or later. I am just wondering how much traction this will get if any?

[zanne]

49. Earlier today, it was an Obama-Oprah lovechild!

From the Enquirer! LMAO!

[Ellen Forradalom]

2. That's not the worst of it.

That love child broke up Oprah and Obama.

[Cha]

10. And did it mention

fuckhead's abortion? Then I'm not impressed.

[alstephenson]

21. Who's "fuckhead"???

As if I didn't know. Geez.

[Ellen Forradalom]

29. We have a candidate named "Fuckhead"??

She totally has my vote!

[Cha]

32. I was talking about

bush and his girlfriend back in the day..sorry, I thought everyone knew who "fuckhead" is. :)

[Ellen Forradalom]

47. Oh THAT fuckhead

Jeez, there's so many of them to choose from.

[ronnykmarshall]

15. It was good for the Supremes!

[Turbineguy]

3. Here's another news flash:

Bush is a bastard as well as a son of a bitch.

[Renew Deal]

4. Love Child?

Oh boy.

[Pirate Smile]

5. Who are you listening to on local radio? Where is it at?

[Quixote1818]

13. 770 KKOB here in Albuquerque

Jim V the local talk show person was talking about it after he saw it up on drudge.

[AspenRose]

20. You mean "K-GOP"

:eyes: no wonder....

[Quixote1818]

26. Yes, it's a very Right Wing radio station.

The host calls himself an independent but he is certainly more to the right.

[AspenRose]

27. Villanucci is a right leaning Libertarian

And an ass to boot, as is Pat Frisch.

[quinnox]

6. I went to drudge and it says

in the enquirer headline "woman linked to candidate pregnant and in hiding"

Now this story is probably b.s., but if there is truth to it Edwards will have to bow out.

[yardwork]

42. That sounds like the fake "Kerry is having an affair with a student" story that Drudge ran in 2004.

That one got no traction either, since it was totally made up.

I sincerely doubt that John Edwards has gotten a woman pregnant in recent months. I'd bet anything it's simply another made-up story.

[jsamuel]

7. I think the people have no patience for this stuff anymore

:eyes:

[MaineDem]

23. I'd like to think that, too

I know I have no patience for it.

[youthere]

8. And I heard he uses cornflakes in his fried chicken.

[seasat]

48. Hey I actually had a recipe for oven fried chicken that called for that.

It was actually pretty tasty. Being a native southerner, I still prefer the family recipe for deep fried double battered chicken, though.

[Renew Deal]

11. I found this

http://www.nationalenquirer.com/john_edwards_cheating_scandal/celebrity/64271

[1corona4u]

19. That's the old one...

[Quixote1818]

22. It sounds like complete bull shit and they flat out say "If Proven"

So there is no real proof this actually happened.

[Renew Deal]

24. I'd bet on bullshit too.

I bet there's nothing there.

[Adelante]

25. That's the original story

Both Edwards and the woman denied it at the time; his denial was very strong, hers a tad less so. The new story seems to be about a pregnancy, but who knows? She could be pregnant and it could have nothing to do with the original story or John Edwards.

[Renew Deal]

28. It's probably BS

Especially if they're saying it happened since 2004.

[Adelante]

33. Really, 2004?

I thought it was late 2006 they did those videos.

[Inspired]

35. That is one long pregnancy then.

What a bunch of bullshit.

[Renew Deal]

46. Edwards is way too high profile to do something like that.

This is BS noise.

[Bitwit1234]

12. Well we know better. But just think it is a good idea at least

we get a picture as to what the republicans are trying to do...They really can't get any dirty dirt so they make it up.

[StClone]

14. Ed Schwartz was pushing this in October.

What a crock...out of playbook from the wing play book. Yuck.

[Donnachaidh]

16. gee -- guess it's a slow news day

So we have to hear about crap in the Enquirer? Love Child stuff is soooooo old. Can't they come up with piccies of a Republican in a toilet somewhere?

[aquart]

17. ?

[AspenRose]

18. Haven't they tried this with Edwards once already?

The cheating, I mean?

It didn't stick then and I'd be surprised if it stuck now. People ARE getting sick of this kind of stuff.

[Tom Rinaldo]

30. It's put up or shut up with this crap

Rumors are way too easy to invent. I don't care who is getting smeared. This is a flat out lie unless and until it is proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, and unless it is proved beyond a shadow of a doubt it should be denounced and then ignored.

[balantz]

31. Well, it did happen

and I am that Love Child. It was almost 46 years ago. I remember the pale green walls of the delivery room, and lookig over at my new parents, and then the horror at seeing that my folks were mere ten year olds, and thinking "Oh, how could they have disgraced me so...?"

-More in the next issue-

[goodgd_yall]

45. heh, heh

[zulchzulu]

34. Not an Edwards supporter, but this kind of shit really bugs me to no end

This guilt by rumor hit piece garbage that usually is dropped when the heat of an election is happening is the worst filth to come into political play.

Even if the story is true, it should be seen for what it is just due to the fact that the timing is obviously calculated.

[Vadem]

36. OK, time for DNA testing.... until then it is a pack of lies by the GOP...n/t

[Beacool]

37. Oh please.........

Who believes the crap that they print? I didn't believe it when they attacked the Clintons and I don't believe it when they attack anyone else.

[jaysunb]

38. It's True !

and Elizebeth Edwards is the mother of them all. :evilfrown:

[Stop Cornyn]

39. He must be leading in the new Iowa poll if the Equirer is smearing him

[democrat2thecore]

40. Unfortunately, tabloids can sometimes play a role in politics

I am thinking about the infamous Gennifer Flowers "scoop" with The Star. I hate this crap.

[Adelante]

41. They're saying Rielle Hunter is living in Chapel Hill

It's getting complicated.

http://www.nationalenquirer.com/john_edwards/celebrity/64424

[yardwork]

43. It sounds totally made-up to me.

[beaconess]

44. I might be able to be convinced of this about any of the candidates - EXCEPT John Edwards

This sounds like a smear, pure and simple.
