The reward being bestowed on 6,000 or more people who donated money to the Schindlers' legal battle to keep their daughter's feeding tube in place is this: Bob and Mary Schindler have sold or traded those donors' names and e-mail addresses to a conservative direct-mailing company. The company, Response Unlimited, is pushing the information hard, telling potential buyers that "these individuals are passionate about the way they value human life, adamantly oppose euthanasia and are pro-life in every sense of the word!"

and the point is?????
The point is that's not a very nice thing to do, some would call it dishonest actually.
Must be ok for Planned Parenthood to do political mass mailings to unsuspecting citizens and for National Peoples Radio to sell their donor lists to the Demoncrats but not for conservatives to get their message out
" wonder if it objects to Planned Parenthood's sending out mass mailings for pro-death liberal pols every election time from its list of women who visited their clinics?"
Who knows, but I object to these donors' names being whored out to some direct-mailing company, conservative or otherwise.
What they did is wrong and theeir motives may not have been totally pure, but they had to sit by and watch their daughter be starved to death by a system that wants to have full life and death authority over all of us. Misdeeds by the parents don't negate all that occured, but many will try to argue it does.
I disagree that even selling the names is a misdeed, how would right to life get the word out to sympathetic voters? If you want to prevent the next Schiavo case, you need voters and $$
If MS had done this you would be all over him about it. Losing a daughter, no matter what the cause, is no excuse for this type of behavior.

I never said it justified them selling the names - I said that them selling the names should not distract people from the real issues - you have obviously been distracted from the real issues...either that, or you have a weird priority system for your issues.
Anyone who expected honesty there is an idiot. Their whole schtick is based upon lies and charecter assassination.
This has nothing to do with "right to Life" though the case will be used to weaken every conservative position due to the grandstanding politicians scrambling to interfere with the law. This clear lack of integrity by the GOP will cause a world of hurt and it was thrown away for NOTHING.
