Hmmm.. how to put this politely?...Did you read the part about not that it matters? I was commenting on his lisp in relation to him being a Catholic priest...you know, all the clergy abuse? (Mine is one of the dioceses who are paying the victims). Of course I meant no dis with respect to the handicap. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

I'm sorry I did not read your post more carefully. I am on overdrive. No I missed the part about not that it matters. Moses had a lisp or speech impediment. Not that it matters.

I went back and reread your post. I didn't like most of it but don't want to get into a flame war over it. I think I lost it when I came to the word "lisp".

I would stand outside a courthouse (at least symbolically if not literally) if someone was trying to deprive you your right of saying something that didn't settle too well with me. I don't care how much I might inconvenience others. Just breathing my share of oxygen is inconveniencing to somebody with another agenda.

Then maybe the director of the hospice should tell Michael that Terri has to be moved because of her adverse affects on others. Or maybe the doctors there should just give her an injection to speed the process along and then the protesters will go home. We certainly can't have people inconvenienced by one dying woman, can we????

Codswapllop. How would you like to spend your very last Easter like those other people and their families are doing? Crowds, noise, confusion, police checks, etc. I am discusted with the protesters at this point.

I think the Left has a slogan which can apply to this as well.

No Justice, No peace.

War

The family members are absolutely right neets. They have loved ones that are dying in that building at this very moment.

It is shameful that they should have to go through this. My dad died recently and I would have been horrified if this was going on around him.

Where in the hell is your compassion for the other dying patients?

Clearly you are a hypocrite. You only care about Terri, not all the other dying patients.

The operators of this death house should be put down like dogs.

There are people on FreeRepublic claiming that no one is advocating physical harm to people on the other side.

I don't understand how they can say that.

What in the world is wrong with these people RA? They have no compassion for any of the other patients or family members in there.

How hypocritical of them. This is making me sick. I'm always so glad to see people like you speaking out on here.

Because, in their heart of hearts, they agree with it and it shames them... so they pretend it isn't there...

What do these people who are bound and determined to have Jeb step in think would happen if he did?

Clearly the courts would just find in favor of Michael Schiavo and Terri would just have to go through this all over again.

I think she is probably past the point of pain. I would hate to see her have to go through this all over again.

Why do they think Jeb stepping in would change the outcome?

Thank you so much. For the most part I stayed away from the Terri threads. However, I felt so bad her grandfather died without her seeing him one last time. :-(

Neets, I am so sorry. I completely misunderstood your post.

I just got on FR for the day and I reacted too quickly. You have my deepest, most sincere apology.

Go back and read what Chad said and I said.

I don't say, that there aren't people who express those emotions, but FR is NOT allowing them, specifically warned people about them.

Chad chose to attack FR, NOT the people who advocate violence.

If he had said, there are people who advocate violence, I wouldn't have bothered to answer to his post, but he stated that FR is becoming like DU, intimating that it is with permission that people express wishes for violence. This is what I took issue with.

An apology from Chad to FR and Jim Robinson would be appropriate.

Because they want him to fix it for them, and they can't accept that he isn't able to.

After being broadsided and called stupid by one person, and a host of other names by a few others, I was encouraged to learn that Judge Bork agreed with our side of the argument. I only wish we could convince people Jeb is not to blame - but they're not hearing it.

They just don't want to.

"... I'd be filing suit, saying the protesters were infringing on MY rights to help my loved one have a peaceful death"

Oh, yes, let's shut down the protestors legitamate right to free speech so you can be allowed some fictional figment of a right to quiet.

Don't worry about it.

I understand completely.

If Jim Robinson feels I owe him an apology, he is perfectly capable of asking me for one, and I am perfectly willing to give one.

However, I was not insulting FR, nor was I insulting Jim Robinson. What it boils down to is that YOU got offended, because I was making it clear that you, and posters like you, are working very hard at turning this place into a conservative version of DU, and it hit home with you. So, you ping Jim to the thread as a way of attempting to stir up trouble.

Jim - just a courtesy ping. SOrry you have to be bothered constantly by this stuff. Sigh.

"of the need for those dying of some peace and quiet."

Is that a protected right?
