Comments on: Remembering Dianne Knippers http://hugoschwyzer.net/2005/04/19/remembering-dianne-knippers/ Fri, 05 Dec 2008 14:03:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: David http://hugoschwyzer.net/2005/04/19/remembering-dianne-knippers/#comment-10919 David Wed, 27 Apr 2005 15:55:01 +0000 http://hugoschwyzer.net/2005/04/19/remembering-dianne-knippers/#comment-10919 Dianne Knippers was a classic example of a kind and generous person who created unwanted mischief. Personal attacks are pointless and not needed. The facts are enough. Why was Mrs. Knippers so obsessed with sex? What caused her to seek destruction of sincer political opponents? I've no idea. Jesus made clear that "Hate is not an option" Dianne Knippers gave sanction to hate by her words and deeds. Her humaity was real and her predatory ambition was well known. "Sometimes Kindness Kills" You can be right and thus very wrong. I followed her career and I have tried so often to understand her. Mrs. Knippers seemed to have tunnel vision when it came to the consequence of her actions. I find no pleasure in saying these things. Nevertheless, i am left with a dark suspicion that Mrs. Knippers had a dark secret, and it poisoned an otherwise remarkable career. I am sorry she died, cancer is a terrible death. I do hope God attends her and she has honest happiness at last. Dianne Knippers was a classic example of a kind and generous person who created unwanted mischief.

I'm not a fan of some of the tactics used by ACN, AAC, and the IRD over the past few years, but the other stuff is what really gets me.

I know that most responsible conservatives have avoided using slurs for the likes of +Gene and dear Louie Crew. I expect the same measure of courtesy from "our side." We must find a way to maintain not merely civility, but warmth and kindness in the midst of our battles. I am sorry that those with whom I am in agreement ever used such language, Chip.

She was a very godly woman, full of the Holy Spirit and dedicated to serving the Lord. It was very tough the last two years to see the releases made by certain groups on "your side" of the aisle that called her "evil," "dragon lady," and other reprehensible terms. Y'all did not know Diane and what a wonderful woman she was. Peace of Christ, Chip Hugo,

I just lost a good friend far, far, far too young so all I can do is share your sentiments of peace and grace towards her and her family and friends. She sure was a pain in the a**.
