Will O'Reilly finally wise up about Michael Schiavo?

Yesterday on the radio, Bill O'Reilly said that if Michael Schiavo doesn't allow the Schindler family to have a funeral for Terri WITH HER BODY PRESENT, then O'Reilly will see Michael as a "villain."

This is a little late for O'Reilly, who's been walking a middle line throughout the Schiavo ordeal. In my opinion, he certainly wasn't "looking out for" this woman as the fight was on to keep her from being deliberately starved to death. And he's also said that Greer passes the smell test.

I don't get O'Reilly - - - sometimes he can recognize corruption and evil, and he'll go after it like a pit bull (ACLU, for example), but here he basically yawned while the deliberate starving of a disabled woman was perpetrated.

many people who also have made the decision to let a loved one die feel a lot of guilt and don't want to believe it was a selfish act on their part, so they have taken Michael's side.


"Men start revolutionary changes for reasons connected with their private lives" (Aristotle, Ethics, quoted by Robert Reilly [Voice of America] reviewing "Degenerate Moderns")

E. Michael Jones in his book, Degenerate Moderns, says that in the intellectual life, there are only two ultimate alternatives: either the thinker will conform desire to truth, or conform truth to desire. (Ralph McInerny review of "Degenerate Moderns")

This helps to explain why organizations like NOW and Planned Parenthood encourage as many abortions as possible. It's so abhorrent, that once someone has had one, they will tend to conform the truth to what their desire to assuage their guilt, thus supporting even more abortion.

O'Reilly keeps drawing lines in the sand in the wrong places.

Yes. Thus, the Hollywood starlets (who would have sought abortions pre-Roe v. Wade) fight for "a woman's right to choose."

They'd like more company in their sisterhood of aborters.

SCHIAVO HUSBAD IS BAD SCHIAVO HUSBAND IS BAD!

Michael Schiavo found a way to kill someone legally. Therefore it is more accurate to say

Michael Schiavo is a killer.

We can't judge him, but we can judge his actions.

O'Reilly is an egotist and that is probably what makes him a cafeteria Catholic. He also has an authoritarian streak and is not sufficiently skeptical about the limits of authorities. So, while he is probably not a great thinker, he does use the power he has for good. That is what I admire.

Oh I think you have judged him quite thoroughly and done all you can to send him to a living hell on earth.

O'Ron his tv show basically has said for 2 weeks now that Michael is the bad guy in that he can surrender legal control over his wife to the Schindlers with no real harm to him, Terri, or anyone.

He has also said that there are all losers in this case, and no winners.

While he hasn't gone overboard in riticizing Schiavo, he hasn't treated him with kid gloves, either.

Just step back for a moment, and make believe that Schiavo the husband is telling the truth, and her parents are liars. If you can for a moment think that both can be liars or honest, you will immediately conclude that as an outsiders with on hysterical tabloid reportings, we CANNOT BE SURE TO MAKE UP OUR MINDS, AS SIMPLE AS BLACK OR WHITE!

I came to my own conclusions about his truthfulness several years back, before I had been told there was anything "suspicious" about his behavior. Michael's explanations, and George (Flick-Tongue) Felos' explanations don't make sense.

I'm a sinner and have no right to send someone to a living hell on earth.

Remember: Even Michael's friend, Dr. Cranford, says physician assisted death can legitimately be called "killing"

Michael set everything in motion for Terri to be killed, so (according to Cranford) he is a killer.

It's surprising that O'Reilly is blind to how the ACLU is so busily pushing for euthanasia in Florida.
