Her brain was PROFOUNDLY atrophied. (Terri Schiavo)

[Bunny]

She was blind. No evidence of direct skull or brain trauma seen. Her brain weighed approx. one-half of what a normal brain would weigh. No signs of abuse whatsoever. She was absolutely unable to take food or liquid by mouth in any level consistent with life. She was in worse shape physiologically than Karen Ann Quinlan was. Michael's attorney to hold press conference at 2:30 Eastern.

[Triana]

1. She was dead for years...

..in other words and she was NOT abused by her husband.

'nuff said.

[Bunny]

2. Yep, that's it in a nutshell.

[cthrumatrix]

27. the GOP wasted $$$$$$$$ on "propaganda" for THIS..... total BS

[BlueEyedSon]

3. Who?

:)

[Deja Q]

5. Terry Schiavo!

This means another * scandal is about to break...

[FreedomAngel82]

37. I don't think this has anything with Bush

I think it's just Mr. Schavio himself. I'm sure Bush will use it to his advantage though with the media.

[madmax]

4. Who?

Terri Schiavo?

[BlueJazz]

6. I'm not sure who you are talking about but I suspect ......

...it's the current crop of Republicans. :)

Yes..I know it's Terry..:)

[SW FL Dem]

7. Why am I not surprised?

If only her parents and their supporters would let this be the end of the discussion.

[FreedomAngel82]

39. They won't

They'll keep pumping up their merchandise and selling their mailing list to rightwing "pro-life" groups.

[BlueEyedSon]

8. Link? LBN?

[Bunny]

12. I'm watching it on TV, here's a link from Yahoo.

9. She was Blind?

But but that isn't possible, remember how her eyes followed her parents around the room and talked to them :sarcasm:

[Dr.Phool]

16. I heard she was talking

To the Medical Examiner during the autopsy.

[alcibiades_mystery]

32. LOL...best line on DU in quite awhile

nicely played. :-)

[Divameow77]

43. Don't forget the balloon

she followed around the room as well.

[tnlefty]

10. Hey, did FrankenFrist perform a "remote viewing" autopsy, too??

Does he agree or disagree with these findings? :evilgrin:

[Barak And Roll]

11. Waiting...

I'll be waiting for the Cult of Life to apologize to Micheal Schivo.

[Norquist Nemesis]

13. From the sound of the crickets

it's a hot topic. :evilgrin:

[tnlefty]

17. Welcome to DU, Barak And Roll!!

About that apology...how long do you suppose it takes for hell to freeze over? That's about when the nuts would even consider it. :hi:

[Barak And Roll]

38. Hell freezing over...

I'm guessing it will come a few weeks after the Cubs sweep the World Series. Go Cubbies!

[undeterred]

14. Wait till they see Shrub's brain. Its been atrophied since birth.

[BurtWorm]

15. Coroners are all Demoncraps.

They better watch themselves... :insert smiley wearing white hood:

[Bunny]

24. Damn Activist Coroners!

We need to pass laws to get them thrown out!

[teach1st]

18. Damn activist coroners NT

[RobertSeattle]

25. Good one

LOL

[Toots]

19. Totally brain dead.... I bet she voted Republican

I'm sure the way the Florida vote went she must have voted at least once. Will we hear a peep out of any Republican Congressman over this? I think not....

[Norquist Nemesis]

20. Paging Tom DeLay! Paging Senator Frist!

:shrug:

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. She was blind? That means she wasn't

smiling at her family when they walked in. She couldn't see them and her brain couldn't process ANYTHING. She wasn't responding to them when they were trying to interact, feed, talk, ect....it was all just reflex. AND she CERTAINLY wasn't trying to TALK to them like they said she was!

This make the religious right REALLY look like the idiots we all know they are.

[Bluebear]

22. But what about all those mylar balloons?

:crazy:

[ElectroPrincess]

23. My 11 year old would spank me, but MY first thought upon hearing this

is Duh!!

[Wilber_Stool]

26. Her brain was the size of

a cable news reporters.

[tnlefty]

31. LOL!

:thumbsup:

[alcibiades_mystery]

34. LOLOL

Oh man, the comedy on this thread is terrific!

[dave29]

28. Thank God she was incapable of understanding what the fundies

were doing to her.

[LSK]

29. Michael should sue all the networks who made up crap about him

FOX, MSRNC, Limbaugh should all be sued for slander they did about him. I cant recall how many freepers believed he was abusing her.

[xxqqqzme]

33. they ALL did

Remember the roachman challenging Michael Schiavo's manhood? That scum of the earth should B the FIRST 2 apologize - live - on camera, during prime time. Everyone else can line up behind him.

[janx]

35. I can't believe the DUers who thought the same. n/t

[LostinVA]

40. Agreed. Notice none of them are here talking about this?

I'm waiting for THEIR apologizes. It's one thing to be against taking someone off of life support, and another to accuse Michael Schiavo of murder, attempted murder, abuse etc. ALL of it out of whole cloth.

[janx]

45. To be fair, though, a lot of DUers looked at the facts

and changed their minds in a hurry.

[RetroLounge]

42. They should be called out for an apology

and then the spankings!

:spank:

RL

[LostinVA]

44. Let me warm up my paddle... hehehehehehhe....... n/t

[AzDar]

30. Waiting patiently for apologies from Jeb & Shrub, Delay & Frist, and

that stoooooopid beeyotch who plays on "Everybody Loves Raymond".
May peace be with you, Michael Schiavo..and rest in peace,
(finally!)Terri.

[Ganja Ninja]

41. Yup! They all stuck their noses in where they didn't belong.

There are people in this type of situation that die every day in this country. The only difference between them and Terri Schiavo is there aren't any TV cameras around for the GOP hypocrites to mugg for.

Michael Schiavo made the decision for his spouse as was his right. He was right all along and the religious butt-in-ski's and political opportunists should be ashamed of themselves.

[FreedomAngel82]

36. Goes to show you

that damn all the facts and science and life. Instead of letting her go on and not suffer they wanted to keep her a live to appeal to their fundie base. These people are sick bastards. And Mr. Schavio got threats from people in Florida and I remember reading family members of his up in Pennslyvania were getting threats too! I wish Mr. Schavio could sue all those rightwing assholes from Bill Frist to Randall Terry.
I remember reading a month or so ago there were still protestors at the hospice. Are they still there? I wonder what Mr. Schavio is going to say. That girl's parents should be ashamed of themselves. They didn't give a damn he was her HUSBAND and loved her and was her next of kin. Where was saving the sanctity of marriage then huh?
