What a joke prominent conservatives are (I'm talking about you, Hannity!) in light of the unsubstantiated gossip mongering regarding Michael & Terri Schiavo.Sworn statements aren't "gossip mongering," so I know you aren't talking about the allegations of bad behavior by Terri's HINO in the Iyer or Shook affidavits. So then, what "gossip mongering" are you referring to?
None of us will ever know exactly what happened to Terri. But unlike some people, I refuse to blindly accept certain testimony or accounts of past events as factual just because a judge rubber-stamped the ones that supported his conclusion and rejected conflicting statements that contradict him.
It sickens me. I'm embarrassed for nation-of-laws and liberty-loving conservatives everywhere.
Whose "liberty" was endangered by the attempts to reattach her feeding tube? Terri's? It is to laugh.
This is a nation of laws, indeed. There is a problem in this country with judges who shred the will of the people with badly-founded opinions that new laws are unconstitutional. I am normally against legislation that has only one person as its focus (see: Morgan, Dr. Elizabeth), but in this case, it was in order, IMHO. It was a noble attempt. To paraphrase Oliver Twist: If the law, as the judicial activists insist it be enforced, "is an ass," it deserves to be kicked!
LN....just a couple of thoughts.
Sean, as well meaning as his actions were/are, seems to have gotten overly emotional and lost his normal objective eye. IMHO
He stated repeatedly he read the documents the "Schindler's" gave him. Hardly a balanced view of the matter as they are biased as they should be.
He repeatedly refers to her "heart attack". This is incorrect. She was diagnosed as someone with a "cardiac arrest" which is different.
Fox has prominently featured, people who have recovered from brain damage without indication that they were NOT in the same circumstances as Terri according to "experts" familiar with both.
He repeatedly refers to the bone scan without qualification and while implying that the causes were do to some nefarious actions by MS. He does not include the questionable responses by Dr. Walker when under cross examination and when confronted by different findings from other doctors.
MS will not allow an autopsy...MS will allow an autopsy because he has to. Another rumor shot down.
Not sure what to think about the nurses.
If MS got them "into trouble" because he didn't like what they were doing (several Dr's alluded to the aggressiveness and strident way he reacted when he thought the caregivers weren't doing their job properly) what better way to extract revenge than to bad mouth him?
Look at Carla Lyer. She doesn't mention the possible shots of insulin and needles in the trashcan in her affidavit, but as soon as she's given a mic. or face time on TV her memory is crystal clear on the matter.
Several commentators point to the polls showing many people against Congress stepping in. This is used to prove that the politicians didn't vote for political reasons. Trouble is the poll came out AFTER they took the vote. Had the polls been published prior to the vote the outcome might have been different. ;-)
