I'm glad her suffering is over. Thanks for posting this thread Teddy!
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
I knew the end was coming soon, but I thought she had a few more weeks than hours. RIP Elizabeth. I hope she is not remembered for her cheating husband, but rather the strong and smart lady she was. Love out to her children that are here and peace that she is reunited with her other son. Love to her family.

I wondered how long it would take the Righties to dance on her grave....Answer: Not long...
Unbelievable that these pseudo-religious pukes would use such an occasion to bash someone...but not surprising....
Righties Dance on Elizabeth Edwards' Grave by: Adele M. Stan
In certain corners of the right-wing world, an odd definition of Christian charity prevails: if you don't believe as its denizens do, your death is an occasion for their judgmental disdain. Apparently, they don't trust their own justice-meting God to do the job.
Elizabeth Edwards, who died yesterday, has not yet been buried, but that hasn't stopped some from attacking her for being true to her personal theology even to the very end: a theology that does not include the concept of Christian salvation. They're using a column I wrote three years ago to make their case in a most uncharitable manner.
Essentially the argument made by Donald Douglas of the right-wing blog American Power ("Keeping an eye on the communist-left so you don't have to") is that Edwards was a bitter nihlist. Why? Because she failed to mention Douglas's big, bad God in her farewell Facebook message. Douglas's post might have disappeared into the abyss of mean, stupid things said by internet cranks -- until the august Christianity Today, representing the respectable, serious side of the religious right -- picked it up. And that's just nasty. Or bitter. Or nihlistic.

But exactly what I expected from Looney Jerk.
