Anybody who wishes cancer on someone because they disagree with them politically is in serious need of therapy...

Mizzou is right. You can wish a hairy mole on your political adversaries, though.

Uh, I am like speechless at the pure hate and venom spewing from some here for political partisanship over a man's serious health issues.

It is really shocking from some who call themselves tolerent, liberal & "progressive" (which begs the question if this is how you act what the hell are you progressing towards?).

Anyway, look a few things:

1.) I know Tony Snow. He is not a good, he is a great guy.

Most who know him will say the same. Tony took time with me, a good bit of time, at the 1996 Republican Convention in San Diego when he was REALLY busy and gave me great advice on the business and life. How many people in this business, near or at the top, would really do that?? This business that we all know can be so cutthroat. Especially someone that potentially could be his competition (I was doing talk radio at the time while finishing up law school).

I won't forget Tony's words of encouragement & some of them are listed on my website (www.johndvillarreal.com).

Tony then gave me his card for contact info & signed my convention badges/floor passes. I also got a press pin (we all were collecting them NYT, CNN, etc.). He was great.

The point is Tony is a good human being and many reports support that statement. So you don't agree with his politics - so F'n what??

Here is a tip - if you want to excoriate people for "selling their soul to the Devil", etc. why not start by being a good, loving, forgiving, tolerant human being yourself!

I know that may be a novel idea.

The bottom line is I don't want to get into a debate on politics or the war, blah blah blah on this subject since it is irrelevant. The country is divided - ok? I don't HATE you or wish you ill for disagreeing with me. That is why we have elections to work it out there and it should be left at that. Politics are politics this is someone's life, a colleague's life.

So, if you want the world to change start with yourself. I didn't see Gandhi, the Pope, or the Dali Llama wishing for anyone to "die for their sins" - unreal.

2.) I am no doctor either, but my dad had leukemia before he died of a heart attack (likely caused in part by the cancer drugs). Anyway, from what I learned then and have been hearing from Doctors on the news it seems that when the cancer comes back you are in trouble. The first shot at putting you into remission is the best. Some areas are better than others but they all kind of lead to the same place just a question of how long I believe.

Anyway, not here to preach but come on guys & gals we REALLY can do better than this. I know most of you are anonymous but I would be embarrassed by what some have written here.

Tony, you are an awesome guy man! Keep fighting & hope you are back real soon!

Thank you for all the help & support!

You are in our thoughts & prayers.

God Bless,

John D. Villarreal.

So then you're against the death penalty, I suppose?

The next person who says that will be the first.

Wishing ill on someone is pretty crappy.

Not far behind the list is using someone's cancer diagnosis to drop the patient's name.
