Sure enough, the blame pours in, with the Terri Factor in the middle as if the American people wanted to see Terri be killed and the meanie right wing religious fanatics wanted wrongly to save her.

The votes that closed the "God Gap" in favor of Democrats might have had as much to do with Terri Schiavo as the Bush Administration's handling of Iraq.

"The problem with the religious right is that they've positioned themselves as knowing the mind of God and knowing what that means for public policy — which is theologically invalid," says Robert Parham, executive director of the Baptist Center for Ethics and executive director of EthicsDaily.com.

"The best example of it is the Terri Schiavo case, where the religious right was morally arrogant about the biological situation of Terri Schiavo. So the Republican Party rushed to pass a piece of legislation only to discover ... they were absolutely wrong about her physical and mental condition. The Terri Schiavo case may have very well been a pivotal point in public opinion about the religious right and the Republican Party ... (who) lost a lot of credibility."

Here is another...

The gash in the hull of the Rethug's momentum then came down to the Terry Schiavo mess. America got a first-hand look at how lunatic these ****** (my editing) are, how they think, how they react, and what they have in mind for this nation. I felt America reel and collectively hold our stomachs for fear of vomiting.

So, did the fundies ruin the ballgame?

Um, Actually, I Coined That Word First!

Media propaganda working with the u.s. govt. killed Terri Schiavo for a cheating husband. It was a hit job by the courts.
