PHOTOS: Do ANY other families have loved ones at Woodside Hospice???

[Bluebear]

Do any of these "Christian" protestors care about their grief, their dignity, their privacy as they say goodbye to a loved one? Does this freak show HAVE to take place at the hospice? Or do they think "Teri" knows they are there? This political/Christofascist show is sick disgraceful.

[gWbush is Mabus]

1. chick w/ jesus is hot

[aeolian]

16. Yeah, but she's sworn to only

oral and anal sex until marraige.

[prolesunited]

26. Haha! That was a good one!

And didn't recent studies even confirm that?

[Al-CIAda]

56. Just be sure you don't use a condom! Jeebus freaks hate those things

I do too, but thats another story and for a different reason.

[flygal]

79. HAH!

:o

[XboxWarrior]

48. was....

was that old lady on the ground a patient that escaped and slip and fell?

and hell yeah! I'd hit that jesus carrying chic!

[Orsino]

55. So hot, apparently...

...that Jesus seems to be checkin' his pit odor before trying out his moves.

"Hey, baby. Use me as a weapon here often?"

[Der Engel der Katzen]

2. Didn't Jesus teach his followers not to pray on a street corner?

Like the Pharisees, whose name is synonymous with "hypocrite?"

[alcuno]

18. Amen! This overt religiosity is a real turn off. My mom said that a

woman couldn't get in to see her father before he died because of all the security. By the time she got through, he was gone.

[ohio_liberal]

20. Is that on local news?

How terrible for that family. :(

[alcuno]

43. It was on the local news in Tampa 2 days ago.

They called the woman to tell her to rush over because he was about to die. She got through a few minutes too late and blamed it on the security.

[Bluebear]

44. Of course CNN won't tell her story will they?

Poor woman.

[alcuno]

47. Apparently, there are 80 other patients at the hospice.

Trapped in a circus atmosphere.

[Der Engel der Katzen]

OUTRAGE!

[Bluebear]

23. And the protestors probably call the families murderers too

for not "doing everything they could" to "CHOOSE LIFE!"

[FreedomAngel82]

72. Awful

Imagine going to say goodbye to your loved one and hearing someone call you a murder? My God.

[FreedomAngel82]

71. That's so sad

Selfish bastards! Ugh!!! :grr:

[Sophree]

84. This is ALL about THEM.

Selfish bastards is right. It is obvious that this is all about them, not poor Terri or her family.

[blondeatlast]

49. Indeed so, but the religiously insane (thank you for the perfect phrase

to DUer Kelvin Mace) somehow find Bibles that eliminate the Book of Matthew.

God is calling Mrs. Schiavo, and they are standing in his way.

Have mercy on the INNOCENT floridians, please...

[NYC Liberal]

54. I believe he even said those who DID would NOT get into heaven! n/t

[tjdee]

3. I heard she will go down like Rosa Parks and Anne Frank.

That's what I heard in the thirty seconds of FOX I allowed myself to watch today.

[ChiciB1]

14. All I Can Say Is

:freak" :puke: :puke: :puke:

Could we possibly hope that MSM will FINALLY see how STUPID they are???

Not a chance!!!

[ChiciB1]

17. WHOOPS!!

Finger Fault... :freak:

[Der Engel der Katzen]

19. Oh, give me a break.

Hasn't anyone on Fox got half an education? Someone explain to me how that woman on the grass (or is it the one carrying around the effigy?) is even mildly analogous to Rosa Parks or Anne Frank.

See what happens when you watch Fox for 30 seconds? Better than a good stiff dose of syrup of ipecac.

[deadparrot]

4. WTF is going on with that old woman?

These people are sick. And I fear for anyone going in there for any reason. There's a large chuck of this group that is mentally unstable, I'm sure. And I fear what they will do.

[ohio_liberal]

21. She's in full blown rapture mode

:shrug:

[deadparrot]

27. Looks painful.

:scared:

[ohio_liberal]

34. Looks like she needs a feeding tube

and many other intrusive medical procedures. :evilgrin:

[deadparrot]

36. Doesn't look healthy enought to fuction.

Perhaps she should be strapped to a bed, not allowed to move for a decade and a half or so?

[blondeatlast]

50. It looks to me like a feeding tube is the OPPOSITE of what she needs,

if you catch my drift.

I've made that face before, but only while pregnant, and NEVER in public...

:evilgrin:

[Bluebear]

83. One more kick for that old woman before it disappears into archives

[ewagner]

5. Damn

I wish I had a concession franchise there.....

[Bluebear]

12. GETCHER crucifix! GETCHER crucifix raht here!

[ewagner]

28. Duct tape! .duct tape by the piece!

Symbolic feeding tubes......

[SheepyMcSheepster]

6. what's that lady doing on the ground?

she appears to be in pain?
maybe they should pray for her?

[thedevilinthedetails]

8. She's in pain, she just ate at McDonalds

[CoffeeCat]

25. You're right...she does look a bit gassy. (nt)

[Bluebear]

9. I think she is rapture ready or whatever they say

[Bluebear]

66. night shift kick

[elehhhhna]

82. Hoping for some attention?

[Demit]

7. There are 71 other patients at the Florida hospice...

Another poster this morning linked to a sad column:

Connie Schultz
There are 71 other patients at the Florida hospice where Terri Schiavo stays.

When their loved ones visit Woodside Hospice in Pinellas Park, they must bear not only the grief of their own mounting loss but the accusations -- some suggested, some shouted -- of strangers indifferent to their suffering.

[Walt Starr]

11. These freaks really know how to win friends and influence people

:eyes:

[maddiejoan]

15. wow

Priest at the bottom photo looks like Frank Booth.

[soup]

41. Other patients at the hospice

There was a terribly sad story a couple of days ago:

Pain of publicity intrudes on comfort for the dying
By DAVID KARP and CURTIS KRUEGER
Published March 22, 2005

PINELLAS PARK - As 73-year-old Thomas Bone prepared to die from incurable cancer, he had one wish.

He did not want to die alone, his family said.

So when a nurse at Hospice House Woodside told Bone's granddaughter to come Friday night, she ran from her room in the nearby family living quarters. She had no time to change out of her pajamas, and no time to grab her wallet.

If Jennifer Johnson had not been at the hospice where Terri Schiavo lives, she could have reached her grandfather quickly.

Instead, an officer stopped her and demanded identification - even though she says he had seen her come and go regularly. She called out to a hospice employee who vouched for her. Then she had to go through a metal detector.
http://www.sptimes.com/2005/03/22/Southpinellas/Pain_of_publicity_int.shtml

[Bluebear]

42. "He did not want to die alone" --done!

It's a cast of thousands! (Peace to you, Thomas Bone.)

[Demit]

51. Another sad story. What a nightmare for these poor people.

[seabeyond]

10. wow, good point, wow

how sad. would be interesting to hear about that side and how sad is that

[aeolian]

13. Oh, for fuck's sake!

Rapture, already!

[Bunny]

22. Honestly! Get the fuck out of here so we can have some peace!

:thumsup:

[CoffeeCat]

37. Yeah, but do these people realize...

...that they are the judgmental, out-of-control jerks described in the Bible as those who will be "left behind"?

I've never believed in the rapture, but you really have to wonder--when you witness these charlatans using God to further their sick, twisted, political wants.

Doesn't the end times predict a wave of "false prophets"? The only false prophets I see today--are the religious wacknuts on the right--using God to further their political and legislative agendas.

They use religions like a smarmy used-car salesman uses manipulative sales techniques.

These freaks know nothing about Christian values, as I understand them to mean. Nothing about these disturbing people is peaceful, decent, loving, tolerant, gracious, humble or filled with compassion for the world. They're full of vitriol, bitterness and they thrive on believing that they're better than most people.

It's just sickening to witness this!

[FreedomAngel82]

74. You're right

It's truly a cult and if you don't see things their way you get called an idiot etc. by someone and told you're out of reality etc. and they're right and you're wrong. These people are fake Christians. They think they're right but not. Out of control. If they really were Christians they'd know that God is waiting for her in Heaven and let her die with peace and dignity and understand the science but they've been so dupted with all the fake crap from these people in MSM. Talking to them is like talking to a zombie.

[guinivere]

24. I was just thinking the same thing.

The other residents of the hospice and their families - No privacy, peace or rest.
The employees of the hospice have to be pretty ragged by now, also.

[FreedomAngel82]

75. Imagine being called

a murder going to see your grandfather die. :\ So rude. My God.

[RevCheesehead]

29. They will gather wherever the cameras are.

"see my piety?"



Honestly, she couldn't have done this at home?

[Bluebear]

30. She is' root canal ready'!

[guinivere]

35. lol Pretty teeth are essential in the Rapturing process. n/t

[shrub chipper]

73. They were pretty nasty, weren't they?

[BrklynLiberal]

31. Wonder if they would all be there if it weren't for all the media there

taking pictures. Wonder what came first? Like a Wag the dog scenario.
See all the media trucks in the background of the bototm picture?

[Catherine Vincent]

32. Oh my dear lord....

I won't bad mouth these people.

[Batgirl]

33. take a good look at the freakshow Bush voters

YOU voted for these nutcases to be the driving political force in this country. With your vote for Bush YOU gave his "base" of loons a feeling of their crazed entitlement to determine how individuals should live and die. OWN it.

[FreedomAngel82]

76. Be afraid

Be very afraid. I know I am. Neo nazi freaks for sure.

[animuscitizen]

38. Where are the Pharmaceutical Companies when you need them?

The Reps should be there, distributing samples of various anti-psychotic medications. This would allow marketing to a new target group.

[Bluebear]

40. Good point and welcome to DU!

[TrogL]

39. ...and they call me insane

This is literally a circus complete with freaks. Why in the world is the old lady on the ground sheet grimacing like that? There's enough satellite dishes out there to run the Apollo space program.

[bluestateguy]

45. Uggh

I'm sure these people cheered on the war in Iraq as the Will of God, and spent not one second troubling themselves over all the Iraqi civilians (gasp! Muslims!) being killed over there for an absolute lie.

[nonconformist]

46. These pictures creep me the hell out

I feel like I'm watching the movie Contact, and they're all chanting in a monotone voice "praise God".

[BurtWorm]

52. Or Rosemary's Baby

you, that scene when the creepy Satanists are all crowding in on Mia Farrow... :scared:

This picture is THE creepiest:

[Habibi]

57. Has that woman been identified?

She looks almost nun-like. Is she a sister, or just a wannabe?

[Bluebear]

59. I'm certain they sell religious props for times like this

"Nuns R Us"

[Bluebear]

67. Patricia Devlin, of Lubbock, TEXAS!

[BurtWorm]

77. You know her?!

:o

[Bluebear]

78. Oh no, just IDed from the news article

She ain't my type :)

[Randi_Listener]

63. Jesus Fucking Christ

Shouldn't she be 6 feet under then grass instead of on top of it? Hold a mirror up to her nose to make sure.

[Bluebear]

64. lol

[blondeatlast]

53. Shouldn't they be escorted to a "free speech zone?"

I've known it to be done before...

:evilgrin:

Seriously--are they allowed to pull this crap on the grounds of the hospice?

There are no words for my contempt, no words...

[blondeatlast]

58. Are the protests occurring on the hospice site?

I never thought I'd find myself saying this, but this seems to be as compelling a need for a "free speech zone" as is possible.

If the religiously insane are keeping other people from visiting their beloved family members, they ought to be going to jail in droves.

This is beneath contempt--can someone assuage my fears that this is occurring ON the hospice site? Please?

[Bluebear]

65. Oh yeah blonde they are right there

[blondeatlast]

81. If I had a family member there I would be all over the city government

about it, since it's clear the FL government is lost to Jebbie.

[ultraist]

60. They need to get those whackos the fuck out of there.

People should be allowed to visit their dying loved ones without being harrassed.

Do they have a permit?

They need to clear them off of that site before one snaps or the whole mob snaps. Those people are obviously mentally unstable.

[VOX]

61. Don't these people have JOBS? Oh, that's right, they voted for The Chimp!

They're probably out of work, so they have ample time to put on a four-star show of public piety. :grr:

[Bluebear]

62. And they say the "libby's" have no jobs

Good catch.

[Lisabtrucking]

68. SCARY! Reminds me of Jones Town, those people were over religious

also.

[Bluebear]

69. Really not an unfair comparison

It seems the flock just go where they are told. Do these people work?

[FreedomAngel82]

70. OMG

Do they have tents up too? Wha? My good grief!

[Radio-Active]

80. WHAT A FREAKING ZOO!
