Bulletin: Eleanor Clift calls for Terri's death!!!

Popular "Newsweek" columnist and panelist on PBS's "McLaughlin Group" this weekend called for immediate death for the stricken disabled FL woman Terri Schindler Schiavo. The fact that Clift, who started with "Newsweek" 40 years ago as a fact checker, endorses the "right-to-die" is no surprise. What was surprising was her vehemence that Terri be immediatley starved and deydrated again. Clift considers her a distasteful "vegetable."

John McLaughin, a former Catholic priest and former husband of Reagan's Labor Secretary Ann McLaughlin, should have fired her on the set for a lack of the "compassion" that she has long claimed to represent. It could have been like that time many years ago (I read about it, didn't see it) when Arthur Godfrey fired Julius LaRosa on the air.

Panelist Pat Buchanan opposed death for Terri, but the segment ended before he could elaborate on his coments.

I am sending this to other Terri threads to get maximum exposure.

What was surprising was her vehemence that Terri be immediatley starved and deydrated again. Clift considers her a distasteful "vegetable."

Were those her words .... distasteful vegetable? I'm glad I missed this! Can't afford to buy a new TV right now and my fist would have rammed her face right through the tube.

Perhaps we can organize a freeper 'email' campaign to both McLaughlin and Clift.

"Clift and her husband, Tom Brazaitis, Washington columnist for the (Cleveland) Plain Dealer, are co-authors of the book, "Madam President: Shattering the Last Glass Ceiling," (Scribner 2000), which tracks the rise of women in politics and looks ahead to the day when there will be a woman on the national ticket. "

That says it all! She's a Hitlary supporter.

Here ya go, freepers!! Tell Eleanor what you think of her statement calling Terri a vegetable.
