In the liberal, DU spirit: Wishing Jim Robinson a speedy recovery from his surgery

[Jack Rabbit]

I see on another thread that Mr. Robinson had his leg amputated this week.

After all, we appreciate your service to our country. The ribbing we give you and minions is nothing personal. It's just that you guys are wrong about practically everything.

This is from one vet to another: get well soon.

[BeHereNow]

1. I second that- thanks for helping to uplift the decency meter JR.

Seems we were pulled into the gutter on that other thread.

[Pushed To The Left]

2. I'm sorry to hear that. That has to be hard. I hope he gets well soon! n/t

[Old and In the Way]

3. Indeed...I thought that other thread was vile and not representitive of this community.

I'd prefer to wish someone the best when they are having life-threatening surgery. I may not share his politics, but we are all humans here. As far as I know.

[BeHereNow]

4. I'm wondering why that other thread is STILL up!

Think we should write the admins about it?
I would be fairly certain it is not the type of thing
they would want on the board.
I would hope so anyway.

[Yael]

16. I alerted on the asswipe. Maybe if enough of us did?

[BeHereNow]

17. SEVERAL people alerted on it- still up there.

I'm thinking we should contact the admins.

5. Yes. Illness is no fun for anyone

And a leg amputation? Awful.

[GodlessBiker]

6. Good luck, Jim. It's a damn shame when bile from one's brain reaches one's leg.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

7. Indeed. Wishing you all the best Mr. Robinson.

May you find strength and comfort from family and friends.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

8. I wouldn't wish such a thing on anyone.

I watched my big brother go through the process of a leg amputation- it wasn't pretty, and he suffered pain from it the rest of his short life.

The best of luck to Mr. Robinson.

[bbinacan]

9. I'm with you there. n/t

[mike_c]

10. yep-- more wishes for a speedy recover, JimRob....

Looking forward to hurling insults at one another for a good long time to come! Get well soon, 'bro!

[mcctatas]

11. Hell...

I even felt sorry for Saddam Hussein when they were showing him on TV getting lice checked and cavity searched, so I join you in wishing Mr. Robinson a speedy recovery and return to his important mission, making me glad every day that I am a democrat!

[timtom]

12. Let me also extend my best wishes

as a veteran USMC 1962-1966.

[stevedeshazer]

13. Recommended

Freepers are wrong on almost everything, but I wouldn't wish ill will on any fellow human.

[Kahuna]

14. I also wish him a speedy recovery. I see no reason to bash him over

his poor health.

[jmowreader]

66. Seconded...

but once he's up and around, I see no reason to not bash him over his poor politics.

[Yael]

15. K&R and my best to Jim and his family. This has to be a trying time for them.

Be well, Jim Rob.

[Triana]

18. Absolutely wishing Jim Robinson a speedy recovery.

I would never wish health or medical problems on anyone and I hope for his quick recovery.

[AlCzervik]

19. He's wrong on everything but i wish no pain on him. Get well Rimjob.

[roguevalley]

25. my sister lost her leg. So did two friends. i don't wish it on anyone.

[AlCzervik]

27. i don't wish ill health on my worst enemies.

[Jack Rabbit]

20. Shhhh . .. I'm kicking this on to the top

Shhhhhhh . . .

[BeHereNow]

21. Until Skinner or another admin shows up to clean that other thread- I'll join ya!

BHN:kick:

[Yael]

24. Adding a LOUD kick. Speedy recovery, Jim.

[uppityperson]

22. Fast healing and low medical bill jimrob.

[annabanana]

23. I don't wish amputation on anyone.

Really. . I would have settled for a small limp



(people love the country from all different directions)

[Zorra]

26. And here's to you, Mr. Robinson,

Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please Mr. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey
snip...
Koo-koo-ka-choo, Mr. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please, Mr. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey
snip---
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon.
Going to the candidate's debate.
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Every way you look at this you lose.
snip--

Get well soon, Mr. Robinson, and be sure to vote Democratic for a better world for yourself and all the rest of us of us. The life you save may be your own.

(Lyrics by Paul Simon, altered by Zorra)

[Missy Vixen]

28. Get well soon, Mr. Robinson

You and I have had more than our share of disagreements, but I would never wish ill health on you or yours.

I hope you have excellent medical care, and the best of physical therapists.

Hell, I wish all Americans did. In the meantime, get well soon.

Julie

[bonito]

29. Kicking for healing

[flvegan]

30. Absolutely! Politics should never transcend humanity.

Get well soon, JimRob!

[Fox Mulder]

31. You all are better people than I am.

And that's all I'm going to say.

[Dark]

32. He's a fellow American to whom I wish a speedy recovery.

[ChazII]

54. Nicely said

and I join my fellow DUers in praying for Jim and his family.

This week is our second quarter 2008 fund drive. Democratic Underground is
a completely independent website. We depend on donations from our members
to cover our costs. Whatever you do, do not click the link below!

[Snarkoleptic]

34. Get well soon,,,amputation sucks.

Many of his freepers need the surgery to snip the nerve connecting their visual cortex to their sphincter.
It gives them a shitty outlook on life.

[Uncle Joe]

35. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Jack Rabbit.

[FloridaJudy]

36. From one human being to another

Speedy recovery.

[SeattleGirl]

37. A speedy recovery to Mr. Robinson.

And I hope he makes a good adjustment to loosing a limb.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

38. Get well soon Jim, and enjoy watching the Barr run turn your site on it's head.

Just something to look forward to, well, for me anyway.

Eat Very Well, watch for infection, take it easy, and Do what the Docs Tell you to do! (for some reason, I see Jim as one of those non-compliant patients) Mule-headed

[XOKCowboy]

39. I'll agree to that and give a recommendation

There are things beyond politics. Like human suffering. Get well soon Mr Robinson. I respectfully disagree with most of the things you stand for but would never think of denying you the right to defend your beliefs. Get well and then it's back on.

Edited to remove an unintended pun.

[cayuga]

40. Karma is real

You reap what you sow. Only best wishes from me.

[kentuck]

41. Thanks, Jack Rabbit.

It don't cost us anything to act like a human.

[proud2BlibKansan]

42. Who is Jim Robinson?

[polticalpout]

49. He runs freerepublic.com, details inside...

freerepublic.com is not your typical right wing political site. Most Republicans (as I'm sure you know) don't actually want to physically harm Gays and Muslims, but over at freerepublic you will see that this is a common viewpoint and theme. Wishing for the genocide of such people while not calling it genocide is sadly seen in many threads over there. I won't wish him well as I wouldn't wish a Klansman well nor will I wish him harm as I'm working on trying not to do that. But you be the judge, go over and take a dip in the cess pool if you care to see for yourself. May I suggest using the keys words gay and Islam.

[proud2BlibKansan]

55. Oh I know all about freepland central

Didn't realize that was the guy who ran it.

Thanks.

[asdjrocky]

43. Good luck and get well soon Jim-

From one American to another.

[1]

44. i wish no pain on any person...

edward kennedy was in pain today too, from the news.

along with millions others not so famous or imfamous to get any attention.

a caring society that would treat all human beings with respect and do their best to heal all of them would be a wonderful thing.

"we have the technology..."

[ThatsMyBarack]

45. Why amputation?

Was he a diabetic?

[XOKCowboy]

46. That was my thought too...

It's about the only time you hear about amputation these days. I know a lot of diabetics. If only we'd funded research for diabetes instead of wars.

[old mark]

68. Rob, if you read this....

....fuck you.

mark

[slinkerwink]

51. it could be. Diabetic complications do that. I hope Robinson is ok.

[MiniMe]

57. Somebody linked a post to FR about his condition

He has some kind of infection that they are not having any success of treating and containing. They basically told him it could cost him his life if he doesn't allow the surgery to amputate. I wish him well, whatever the cause of it.

[Ilsa]

47. I hope he feels better soon. So Sorry about him having to go through that. nt

[Feron]

48. I wish him well.

Diabetes is one helluva disease.

I hope for a speedy and full recovery. :D

[Vickers]

50. That sucks.

I disagree with him and his crowd on damn near everything, but that really sucks.

Here's hoping there aren't any further complications.

[Arugula Latte]

52. I hope you have decent healthcare coverage, Jim Rob.

Not many in this country do.

Get well soon! Kisses from your good buddies at the ol' DU ... :*

[Mojorabbit]

53. Oh no!

Sending the good Mojo and I hope he heals well. What a heart rending thing to go through.

[Jack Rabbit]

56. Good morning, my fellow evil DUers . . .

[blondeatlast]

58. Oh, dear. To a speedy recovery, Jim. Truly. nt

[Libby2]

59. I'm sorry to hear this,

and I hope he makes a quick recovery.

[RedCappedBandit]

60. Considering freepers are a bunch of violent lunatics

I can understand why that other thread was created. :shrug:

[johnaries]

61. Despite the fact that if the tables were turned,

and if Skinner or any of our admins went through the same FR would be praying for an infection -well, that's the difference between them and us.

Here's wishing for a speedy recovery for a fellow human being, regardless of his views and vitriol. Maybe such a tragedy will help show him the errors of his ways.

[baby_mouse]

62. That's *awful*.

I feel bad about all the nasty things I said about FR, now...

Get better soon, Mr Robinson.

[Beaverhausen]

63. Oh that's sad. Though we disagree I don't wish this on anyone

My thoughts to Jim and his family.

[Jack Rabbit]

64. Time for another kick . . .

[newmajority]

65. Get well soon, RimJob!

We'll see you back in front of the porta-potties before too long! :evilgrin:

[Efilroft Sul]

67. Get well soon, Mr. Robinson.

I disagree with most of your site's political stances, but your recovery transcends politics here.

[Liberal In Texas]

69. Apparently he's in a VA Hospital?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2016095/posts?page=1727

To: Jim Robinson
OH MY - didn’t know YOU had found a way to post an update your own self!
So good to see you posting again.
Glad the VA hospital is being good to you....
does that include the food served to you?
May God continue to strenghten (sic) you, protect you, carry you through all that is ahead for your healing.

That would be a federal government run medical program, not a private corporate "choose your own doc, no waiting in line, get better care, take responsibility for yourself" program that we hear is the way it should be. Funny how when the freeps need government health care, they don't hesitate to use it.

That said, I wish him a speedy recovery and more years of running his unintentionally humorous screed.

[LeftishBrit]

70. Get well soon!
