blogofascism

Dunno if Lee Siegel would count fascism from, oh, the right... but here's some scary intimidation and stalking of a lefty blogger -- all the way past HIS DEATH. Fuckers. Original post at DU:

What followed was a coordinated effort to block Andy’s medical care or his benefit from the medical care we could secure for him. In specific, the Bush right had its agents make small donations so they could then call Paypal with allegations of fraud that froze Andy’s account. They also called Paypal, misrepresenting themselves as the hospital to “verify” that this effort was a scam.

And it got more vicious from there. Due to the frozen funds and the confusion it caused us all, Andy’s surgery date was cancelled by Johns Hopkins. It was with great difficulty that we were able to persuade the doctor to be put Andy back into the surgical rotation. That cost him two weeks while he suffered from the most aggressive, invasive form of cancer.

And after he eventually died, they still kept up the harassment. Fuckers!!
