This website needs to be hit hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The weblink will take you to a horrible article.
What follows is the response I posted there. Do
visit the site and let them know what you think, please.
Even the Schindler's lawyer was outraged and posted a
response. This calls for definitive freeper action.

Having wasted time reading through misused ink, the byline
gave me a hearty laugh.

Elevating Barbara Miner to “journalist” is a bit generous, don’t
you think? Inflating 'journalistism' to accommodate rank hype
may please revisionists, but is that your intent? Consider
helping Goebbels shed stigma of the propaganda ministry
with epitaphs like "visionary failed cultural publisher of
the Thirties."

You see? You thought it was about Miner, and I discuss
Nazis. Miner practices such contextual adultery, before
climaxing at the zenith of aspirations, names.

Pavlone, Mohler, Terry—dizzying—an orgasmic conspiracy.
Miner’s lips quiver as she moans "don’t they know their
leaders when they have meeeee to tell them?"

No fan of ideologies, Christian, Lesbian, whatever, I'm also
not anti anything (except Miner's insulting my intelligence).
I visit websites discussing Terri. Miner’s theocratic
conspirators never came up.

I won't argue that those on whom Miner grinds her axe have
not seized the controversy. My own observation tells me
however that bogeymen are peripheral at best.

Your so-called journalist may indulge in Christian, Republican
or whatever fantasies excite her. We resists human rights
violations of a disabled woman.

Without leaders, we're unaffiliated with political parties or
religious businesses. We're neither dogmatically pro-life, nor
actively anti-abortion. Get it?

We're fed up with a handful of post-retirement Republican
judges and a visibly disturbed euthanasia lawyer who believes
God warned him about bringing down airplanes by visualization.

We're ticked off at cultural retrogrades presuming upon the
fate of a brain damaged woman, whom they falsely imprison in
a hospice rip-off operation in which they have or had board
seats.

Your hapless would-be journalist is out of her league
discerning what it's about. I pity her manifest deficit.
Stupidity. I question her over-sized bullhorn spouting
nonsense about us, our agenda and alleged leaders.

If you insist, send her to journalism school. It's your money
to waste. Shelve the hormonal confabulations. Give her a
filing job. Send someone else into the field.

Better, leave Terri alone. Your readers will appreciate
remaining uninformed rather than taking on teenage
ferment of identity issues.

Great response letter. I don't think it's right for anyone to try to hijack Terri's right to life by smearing other groups who support her...love him or hate him, Randall Terry helped Terri, and I resent the implication that if one doesbn't support Randall Terry, then Terri Schiavo should somehow be put to death/held hostage out of a petty sense of tit-for-tat. We are talking about a woman's LIFE here...not politics or religious affiliation...me thinks the author is simply trying the old divide and conquer rountine.

Also I have a request...does anyone have the transcript or taped broadcast of the TigerClub discussion with Diane Coleman of Not Dead Yet and Felos?

I would very much like to review the contents of the radio show, if possible. Diane's comments were excellent and were transcribed here, but I am curious about some of Felos' comments.

I just want to post Pat Anderson's response to Miner's 'article' from the inthesetimes.com site (*way to go, PAT!*)

"In the GUISE of opposition to euthanasia"?? I assure you, the Schindler family and I are united in our oppostion to Terri's euthanasia. We all believe the selective killing of disabled people such as Terri is nothing less than euthanasia, and there is no "guise" to it. A coalition of more than a dozen disability rights groups agrees with us, too.

The use of the word "guise" in this article is offensive and insulting. A better use of the word might be "in the guise of objective reporting, Ms Miner showed up for work."
