PhreeZone 20 #5 October 12, 2004 I can't that that quote appearing anywhere on the news wires yet. I'd like to see when and where it was used.

wmw999 2,588 #8 October 12, 2004 Christopher Reeve himself was a keen activist FOR stem cell research. It's still at the basic research phase, but it does show promise due to the embryonic stem cells' ability to change to difficult-to-stimulate cell types. Apparently he and John Kerry were also personal friends (obviously not close, but, well, I'm friends with people whose families wouldn't call me if they were on their deathbeds too). John Kerry did say something on Friday about Christopher Reeve exercising every day in hopes of having function return due to stem cell research. I'll just bet that, given his activism, Reeve would not have objected. We can't know though, can we? For more information, go here and here. The first of these even has at its top the statement "Actor Christopher Reeve believes that embryonic stem cell research will allow him to walk again one day." Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

tunaplanet 0 #12 October 12, 2004 Yeah I used to be a huge fan of Edwards until he made this statement today. How sickening it is to use a dead man to benefit your political chances. Not only did he use Reeve's death for personal gain but the statement itself is completely ridiculous. Ask any doctor and scientist and they'll tell you that stem cell research is not even a guarantee that it will cure conditions such as the one Christopher Reeve's had and what liberal jackass Michael J Fox has. I heard close to an hour of interviews with various doctors and scientists today and all of them agreed that stem cell research is not guaranteed to help cure these conditions and that Edwards' remark was totally false. Yet more evidence I am not a liberal. Forty-two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChasingBlueSky 0 #14 October 12, 2004 Quote"When John Kerry is president people like Christopher Reeves will get up out of their wheel chairs and walk" Wow I'm sure that was taken out of context. Go back to the last debate - Christopher Reeves name was mentioned in relationship to stem cell research, as was Michael J Fox. Kerry said he supports stem cell research so that people like them one day can overcome their injuries or body working against them. Kerry also claimed that Reeves was a friend._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

tunaplanet 0 #23 October 12, 2004 QuoteEdwards: 'When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk. Get up out of that wheelchair and walk again'... I used to love Edwards. However the more I see him speak the more I see him for what he appears to really be...an ambulance chaser who strived in a setting where he made people who are chosen based on their weaknesses believe his slick-talking babble. He's finding very quickly that you can't preach your court-room horseshit to intelligent people. It worked with moron jurors (whom as I said earlier are chosen based on their weaknesses, not their strengths) but will not work with the vast majority of the American people (except the liberal sheep who believe anything a democrat says anyways).

We'll be waiting here patiently (and probably for a long time). You missed my point. Drudge isn't a reporter. He sits at home and uses others to post info. He gathers info and then puts it on his website. The reason anything hits his website first is because he will publish things before there is solid proof. He then removes the links when he finds out something isn't true. He has had quite a few things outlandish published over time. His style of reporting combined with the cable news networks have caused the decline of trustworthy news reporting. The rush to get anything on the air seconds before anyone else without checking it out. The big exclusive, etc....add to that the need to fill 24 hours of programming on TV and you have the decline of real news. ANY news organization that does this is unethical - I am not an apologist for CBS or anyone else. What they did was wrong - however they admitted it and that can't be said for too many other news organizations._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
