But the truth is the fringe doesn't really care about the facts. They've said so themselves.
I can't get over the number of freepers who keep saying Michael tried to strangle her. They have no proof they can offer and just ignore the fact that it's been investigated to the nth degree.
And that no one in her family, doctors and nurses surrounding her when she was brought to the hospital noticed absolutely nothing wrong.
And they conveniently ignore that Michael won a lawsuit against the doctors for malpractice. Those doctors would at least raise the issue of "abuse" or attempted murder to defend themselves, you'd think. Sheesh.
Maybe it's because he has no case that the public would feel any sympathy with. A man who has two kids with another woman - - kids who will remain illegitimate, not able to take his name, unless he divorced Terri or Terri dies - - can hardly be seen, by anyone with room-temperature IQ, as a reliable guardian who can only be motivated by Terri's best interests.
You ought to read Ann Coulters column on this creep. But then, you used the phrase "right wing extremists," so maybe she's too conservative for you
I must say I'm a little surprised with your post, because yesterday you said that where there's not clarity on a patient's intent, the presumption should be for NOT withdrawing food and water (and in fact this IS the presumption in Florida law). One doesn't have to be right-wing extremist to agree with that statement - and to be concerned about what's going on with Terri, precisely BECAUSE there isn't clear and convincing evidence of her intent. Judge Greer made a ruling based on flimsy evidence, and that was judicial incompetence. They guy is a former county supervisor who ran for a local judge post; he isn't some Brandeis or Holmes, and we should stop treating him as if it has to be assumed that he has some exalted level of intelligence and legal insight.
