Charley Reese on the "National Disgrace"

[Theodore R.]

Wow, Charley Reese is now in the George W. Greer camp.

[Miss Marple]

I firmly believe Charley Reese has something medically wrong with him. His columns have, for some time, been filled with wild suppositions and accusations as well as a fair amount of vitriol.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

From the title I thought it was about Ted Kennedy!

[TheDon]

People should be encouraged that the rule of law has survived an onslaught by a mob of fanatics, a gaggle of opportunistic politicians and a swarm of television vultures.

And we only had to sacrifice one life to do it!

[G.Mason]

Well, well, this should bring the venom spewers out in droves.

Perhaps this needs to be hidden in the Smoky Backroom. ;)

[anniegetyourgun]

Note the demonizations of those who stood for life: mobs, politicians, vultures. Yet, who was it that was actually hovering about waiting for her carcass?

[wideawake]

Charley Reese is an absolute f****** disgrace.

The fact that this guy calls himself a "conservative" is beyond the pale.

[mikeus_maximus]

The legal term "hearsay" refers to a situation in which Person A says that Person B told him what Person C said. ehhhhh-- wrong. I suggest you spend some quality time with the Florida evidence code, Charlie, as I did for 10 years. This article is brain dead. And nowhere does it say she was.

[MisterRepublican]

"It was shameful for the Florida governor, the Florida legislature, the U.S. Congress and President Bush to involve themselves in this private family matter.".

It stopped being a "private family matter" once it was taken to a GOVERNMENT court.

[I still care]

I think there were three witnesses that said Terri wanted to die. And their last names were Schiavo, Schiavo, and Schiavo.

[Logical me]

OK Charley Reese! This is your version. And sense there were many other versions, supported by people very close to Terri, they why didn't that jacka@@ of a judge allow another final hearing. Why did he ignore filings of fact were not allowed because he just decided to kill her. And the money trail, boy are you crazy. Good job of twisting facts. Typical.

[Monterrosa-24]

In other words, Reese should be careful about who he calls brain dead.

Anyway most of us are on Ann Coulter's side and not Reese's. Most of us are on the Pope's side and not the Boston Globe's. Most of us are on the President's side and not MSN's. Most of us still think that there is a spiritual value to human life that goes beyond intellectual capacity.

[Cicero]

I concur that something bad must have happened to Charley Reese's head. I though it was just vicious antisemitism that was driving him to oppose the Iraq war, but now it seems that he has just plain gone off his rocker.

[rdb3]

Typical paleo is all he is.

[wrathof59]

What happened to Charley, 15 years ago he was a sensible creature, and now he's really gone off the deep-end. This is the first I've heard from him in years, I thought he left the newspaper business.

[Ebenezer]

This malcontent Charley Reese is making no sense whatsoever. Pat Buchanan and Joe Sobran (who share some views with Reese) wrote more sensible columns about this tragedy.

The real "national disgrace" is that the courts allowed Michael Schiavo to, literally, get away with murder.

[Cicero]

I think there were three witnesses that said Terri wanted to die. And their last names were Schiavo, Schiavo, and Schiavo.

Also these "witnesses" forgot she said it for SEVEN YEARS. Then, after they had collected the money intended for her rehabilitation, they suddenly remembered that she didn't want to be rehabilitated. Extraordinary coincidence.

[siunevada]

One falsehood repeated by many people, including some who should have known better, was that Mrs. Schiavo's wish not to be kept alive was decided on the basis of "hearsay."

It was based on testimony that contradicted previously sworn testimony. Difficult to call that credible and not clear and convincing evidence. IMHO.

Charley Reese is now in the George W. Greer camp.

CR has been in the Rubber Room camp for quite a number of years now.
