CALLER: Hi, Rush!
RUSH: Hi.
CALLER: I just wanted to know if you happened to catch George Felos on Fox & Friends this morning.
RUSH: Yes.
CALLER: What did you think?
RUSH: Well, there's a number of things that we have from Felos. One of the things -- what did you want to ask me about regarding Felos?
CALLER: Well, when they got to the last question I thought he looked, like, totally stunned. I think he thought that he did really, really good throughout the whole thing looking real calm.
RUSH: For people that don't know, what was the question?
CALLER: About the Hemlock Society?
RUSH: What was the question? I want you to tell me.
CALLER: Oh, I'm sorry. They had asked him -- they had heard a lot of talk on the radio -- or on talk radio, and they wanted to know if he really and truly belonged to the Hemlock Society.
RUSH: Yeah, and he said that he didn't.

| CALLER: You didn't think that he looked stunned? RUSH: Well, I think he looked stunned. I think he looked stunned, but he was not -- from everything I've been able to gather, he was not -- a member of the Hemlock Society. CALLER: Oh, he wasn't? RUSH: He was not. Here's what we know about the Hemlock Society and the Felos bunch, and this comes from Judi McLeod from the Toronto Free Press, it's a website, and we had the story yesterday. "Dr. Ronald Cranford, handpicked by Michael Schiavo to examine Terri and on whose say-so Terri was categorized in 'persistent vegetative state.' Cranford is the MD who officially ordered Terri’s feeding tube removed on March 18.... He was 1992’s featured speaker for the pro-euthanasia Hemlock Society, which was renamed The Choice in Dying Society," but not Felos. However, they're all connected because all these people are -- well, except for one, all of them are -- board members of the hospice in Pinellas Park. But Felos himself was not a member of the Hemlock Society. We have the sound bite. I think he was stunned not by the question about his membership but just the whole idea that it had been discovered that everybody involved in this hospice, that all the board members have and Felos does, too -- do have connections to people who are part of the Hemlock Society. It was a pro-euthanasia group. The question from Steve Doocy was, "Talk radio has been buzzing about your connection to the Hemlock Society. Could you just make that clear for us?" FELOS: I don't know what they're... Uhhh, I don't know what they're talking about. I've -- I've -- I've spoken, uhhh, I've spoken before the Hemlock, uh, Society and -- but I'm -- I'm -- I'm not a member. Ummm, I don't serve, uh, in that organization, so I -- I -- don't know what they're talking about. RUSH: I think he was a little stunned that the whole concept of the Hemlock Society was brought up here. I think this is something they thought was pretty much unknown because the mainstream press wasn't talking about it, the mainstream press is not talking about these connections. |
Bumpin' your post, null...
It would certainly seem that way. To be sure, many people aren't going to remember all of the places they've spoken, especially if those places are not particularly tied to the subjects of their speeches. If someone were to ask commedian Joel Hodgson what he thought of the scandal surrounding Big Joe's Nightclub where he spoke (performed) in 1997, he'd probably say "huh"? In the case of George Felos speaking before the Hemlock Society, though, it would seem that the choice of audience was not arbitary as it would be for Joel Hodgson at Big Joe's. Felos almost spoke there because he and the society were interested in helping each other's agendas.
I can think of three reasons Felos would stumble on the name of the Hemlock society:
What did you see?
Felos is in Rehab mode. HE HAS AFFILIATED HIMSELF WITH THE DEATH CROWD. It is not unusual for a lawyer NOT to join a group but to activly assist the group in order to "appear" impartial.
Remember Felos is the one who "consented" to the autopsy he had no right to refuse.
Felos is the one who said Terri was beautiful.
Felos is just playing lawyer games.
I am getting reaaaaaaly tired of Fox and Friends in the morning. E.D. (the blond on weekdays) seems to drift a litle too far to the left to be morning worthy. Next time they should try a brunette.

I'd be interested to know how you got involved and what some of your experiences were.
You realize, I'm sure, that even back then God had His hand in your life...!!!
Perhaps.
From this side of the computer screen....it seems so to me.
But hey. :)
Yes, but it's a hard concept for an agnostic...
Whoops. I'll betcha it is, nully...
It wouldn't be the first time...
Terri ping! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!
Who would?
True?
Yes. They're not very PC are they?...
Here is a link with some info in Hemlock..now called Choice in Dying.
We all know how the word CHOICE makes ANYTHING acceptable.
