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. |
A dying man's dream to leave a legacy (and enough money for one whopper of a funeral).
Newt? Where did you hear that statement?
Scientology was banned in Russia in recent years.
I've done a few hours on the internet on this and am convinced that you are entirely correct, Whistling.
There's no evidence that Newt is connected with those people.
It relieves me a great deal but leaves me with a remarkable dilemma to find out where and why I saw and/or heard that in the first place and then again in a second place.
It also distresses me to have had the effect of deluding anyone else with an apparent falsehood. I apologize to posters here and thank you all for calling me to account on it.
Oh E.D. is so for Michael Schiavo you can tell the second she opens her mouth on the Terri subject! it gets on my nerves so bad!
I went to high school with someone who I heard became a name in Scientology in the DC area. I always thougth it was an unusual organization.
Anyone we know?
Sounds really smart for the Hollywood crowd to be part of a religion that wants to be rid of retards, deformed, handicapped. A religion worshipping God and His Son, Jesus, that offers man a way to salvation and eternal life is just to mundane for them I suppose.
Well, just a few more to add to my boycott list. Could I have any less respect for these twerps in Hollywood?
That was not prolonging his dying. Surely you can understand the difference between not prolonging an incurable situation that is leading to death from an active creating death to a woman who would live many years.
One is not prolonging - one is murder or killing. And apparently your relative stated his wishes at the time.
Yuk, that poor kid literally grew up in Hell.
Talk about a hard childhood - that was over the top.
BTW...what the heck IS Scientology about, anyway. Anyone?
Take 1 part Amway, and 1 part Satanism and you have Scientology!
Truth does sting, but it is worth the bite, especially for Mr.Felos and his satanic crew.
No, he was sort of swallowd into Scientology. I never heard from him again.
At its most basic level, it's a set of contrived premises for leading a mentally healthy life using bromides and trumped-up ideas about how the past affects our current thought patterns. The deeper people go into it, however, the more bizarre it becomes, including the belief that certain people among us are descended from aliens who escaped a war on a distant world, and they are the few elect who will move on to a better place when the mothership comes. The rest of us are SOL.
Disgusted-with-the-MSM bump.
They don't want to offend Grata Van Susteren or John Travolta.
Scientology was the cause celebre of the Unitarian Universalist (liberal religious) set in the mid 60's when it started in Boston. Its appeal has always been to pseudointellectuals looking for a neoscientific spiritualism. It quickly became a closed cult due to its proccupation with the black arts, sic: spiritualism, necromancy, and demonic possession. The spiritualist movement's leaders of the same period such as Worrell, Metalic, Hapgood and Babbit were appalled at the diabolical aspects of early Scientism. It was considered even then a satanic cult.
