You commented upon the source of the data IN ORDER TO attempt to bring the accuracy of the data into question. Remember you said, ""If I am critical of the source, I am critical of the data"?
Since I've asked you four times, and you've consistently declined to address the matter, I have to assume that you are unable to refute anything posted in #30, and were hoping that your attempt to impugn the the data by attacking the source would pass by without comment.
Well if you were as logical as you like to believe you are you would go back and read the posts and see where the question is.
I looked back, and you have asked me two questions, one of which was simply a reiteration of the first. I answered it in #73. If you have another question in mind, feel free to ask me.
Are there any points in #30 that you believe to be untrue?
What, specifically, is wrong about the information he posted?
I believe the FBI has already done that at Ruby Ridge and Waco!
I haven't made my mind up about the Teri issue. However, if Bo Gritz has a questionable past and associations, I would imagine that Teri supporters would be hesitant to let him get involved on their side. Shouldn't you be concerned that once the media digs up negative information about him, it will make the rest of you look bad?
Sure, and Bo Gritz is just the guy NOT to do it. Heck, why not see if you can get David Duke and Matthew Hale involved? I'm sure that would be beneficial. </sarcasm>
"He is a whacko that will get someone killed.."
Um, letssee, he is in FLA to help a situation whereby a woman is to be killed unless someone does seomthing. Hmmm, attention hog, perhaps, his name has been in the papers before, but, "get someone killed", I don't think so. He isn't the one doing the killing.
What is that supposed to mean? I'm just curious as to whether you think removing Terri's feeding tube is murder or if it would be justified. I like to know where people stand on an issue when discussing it with them.
Ummm, as it was posted here, it comes from an untrustworthy source.
As I said ,if you answer my question I will answer yours. When you are ready to do so let me know.
As also was posted here, your belief that the source is untrustworthy does not in any way falsify or refute the statements made.
My dad allways said don't bring spitballs to a knife fight.Better go get some help or more weapons.
As for the other part, I really have no wish to go off on a tangent, OR to be attacked as some kind of demon because you don't agree with where I come down.
Thus, I'll stay on the topic at hand, okay?
As I said, I am happy to answer your question. Ask it.
As I also said, I reviewed your posts to me, and as far as I can see I answered the two questions (really the same question) you asked of me.
So if you really want a question answered, and I somehow missed it, please ask me again so that I may reply.
Yep. When a bunch of shaved-head buggers with swastika tattoos shows up, the populace begins to take a dim view.
"It would be nice to know what this woman wants."
Take a look at the following, and you might figure it out.

Terri Schiavo wants to live
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=35083
Terri Schindler-Schiavo does not want to die. She would like to go home. And she tried to convey this to her father in no uncertain terms by sitting bolt upright and trying to get out of her chair when told she might be killed, her family has revealed.
The stunning news was released yesterday afternoon by Terri's father, Robert Schindler, at the 'round-the-clock vigil outside the Woodside Hospice facility in Pinellas Park, Fla., where his daughter's court-ordered death by starvation is scheduled to begin today at 2 p.m. Eastern. At that time, her husband and legal guardian Michael Schiavo is scheduled to give the order to disconnect the 39-year-old brain-disabled woman's feeding tube that has provided her with sustenance for the past 13 years.
In an interview a few hours earlier, Schindler described the incident to WorldNetDaily. He said he was holding a cell phone to Terri's ear as she listened intently to the speaker, propped in her jerry-chair at about a 30-degree angle. Suddenly she sat up straight and tried to get out of her chair, despite her weak legs and muscles that were slack from lack of exercise.
His daughter's response stunned Schindler, who grabbed the phone and asked, "My God, what did you tell her?"
The speaker said he had warned, "If you don't get up and get out of there, you're going to die there."

As has been pointed out, that is a logical fallacy. Even if the source is not wholly trustworthy, you still need to show why the particular information is false.
Knowing that a particular source has a bias or is untrustworthy might serve to make you suspicious, but it does not, in of itself, invalidate the information provided by that source.
