1. Yes they have been vindicated. Especially Michael

Now the family needs to let him get on with his life.

[grumpy old fart]

2. Fat chance.......n/t

[dhinojosa]

3. Wow, we seem to be consistently right on everything....

Iraq...
Terri Schiavo...
The economy...
Social Security...
Medicare...
Al Qaeda...
Abortion...
Death Penalty...
Moral Values...
and on and on and on...

[Lexingtonian]

12. I dunno about 'right'

but the other side invariably lives up to its historical moniker of The Stupid Party.

[Bluebear]

4. Jeb: "Oh man, what did I get mixed up in?" n/t

[UdoKier]

5. There is no vindication for anyone

And smug threads about how we were "right" are pretty unbecoming.

This was a tragedy for everybody involved. Nobody was "right", and I personally respected the feelings of both sides of the dispute. Aren't there other things to talk about?

[dhinojosa]

6. I agree with your stance, but we were right about this...

but don't fret we will be over this case and on to real issues in 5...4...3...2...1...

[ck4829]

7. I do hope we move on to something more important also

I limit my threads on this kind of stuff.

[dhinojosa]

9. I hope so too, unlike Republicans who

dwell and
dwell and
dwell and
dwell and
dwell and
dwell and
dwell and
dwell and
dwell

8. No vindication for anyone?

Sorry, but this is a HUGE vindication for MichaelSchiavo, who was vilified shamelessly by the Schindlers.

And yes, it is a vindication for us, who recognized the astounding folly of the United States Congress and the President of the United States wrongfully inserting themselves into this family tragedy.

Yeah, I'm feeling pretty smug right now, because all of those fuckers have to eat shit. Sue me.

11. Given what Michael was accused of, this is indeed vindication

Michael Schiavo WAS right.

The physicians WERE right.

And those who accused him of vile crimes were WRONG.

Are there other things to talk about? Sure. How many can you talk about? I think I can handle a few.

[UdoKier]

18. So they were right. Big whoop.

Gloating over something like this is ugly. Like dancing on that poor woman's grave.

[janx]

16. Your point is well taken, except for this:

The federal government has NO BUSINESS getting involved in the personal medical decisions of families or trying to override state law in order to appease their radical right constituents.

An emergency session of Congress, for God's sake. President Chimpy flying at night to Washington to sign a bill.

What was done to Terri Schiavo was horrible. What the government tried to do was worse.

[Horse with no Name]

10. With the level of osteopenia/osteoporosis that the autopsy said she had

All I can say is thank goodness she couldn't feel pain.
If she didn't feel the horrible pain of that then there wasn't a damn thing she felt when she passed away.
Rest in Peace Terri Schiavo.

[UTUSN]

13. Not That This Vindication Will STOP the Wingnut Fundies

who will just say, "It DON'T MATTER - no plug-pulling" ---------uh, unless it's Tom DELAY and his dad. Tommy wanted to get on with his life, after all.

[RedSpartan]

14. Hardly

No doubt Hannity, Rush, et al. will have "experts" on who will claim that the size of one's brain is irrelevant to the issue of being able to function.

Example: GWB (although that may be up for debate)

[LSK]

15. Michael needs to sue those SOBS

[UTUSN]

17. Kick for the V-Word (Vindicated), Including for the Judges

and M. SHIAVO's brave attorney. And for all of us here who knew from day 1 that this was not a "distraction" type case. V is also for Victory, and we need to accept it for what it is as we re-acquaint ourselves with it.
