Schiavo - the AFA spin
On a "news" break on AFA (american family radio) the announcer stated in an emphatic newsman like voice that Teri Schiavo's autopsy would be released today (this news report was given after the autopsy had been released). She is the daughter of loving parents who did not want their daughter starved to death and who claimed that her husband MICHAEL Schiavo had abused her. - End of newscast. Lemmings fed.

AFA - dobson, all hate all the time.

1. yeah, except
the autopsy showed no evidence of abuse and a brain that was severly deteriorated (50% of normal size).

Got that info from the NY Times.

5. You, unlike the lemmings, actually went to find info on the story.
The small fact of taking the time to find an answer to a problem may be what separates us from them.

AFA listeners are happy in their ignorance, happy that Jeebus is watching out for them, and Dobson will keep them up to date on whom to hate.

9. Actually, AFA is Donald Wildmon.
FOF is Dobson. Just as nutball as Dobson, only less powerful. He's the one who stopped an AA flight in 1993 after the GLBT March on Washington, because he didn't want to get AIDS by sitting next to a "hommasaxshull". Here's his mug for all to enjoy...



He's out of Tupelo Ms.

KNOW YOUR INQUISITORS!

10. Thanks for the clarification. I get confused over which uptight,
radical, right-wing, bible-thumping nutter runs which hate group.

They all look alike to me.

11. Yes, thank you Touchdown
My who's who of mindless racist constitution haters is tattered. But just for my education, isn't dobson somehow affiliated with AFA? I know there is a tim wildmon and a marvin something or other who are total fucking morons who don't know how good they have it living in a country that has our constitution.

13. Thay're all pretty incestuous, so it's understandable.
The biggies are..

D James Kennedy- Coral Ridge Ministries
Pat Robertson- Christian Coalition (a sort of umbrella organization for many of these others.
Oral Roberts- Oral Roberts University
Gary Bauer- Family Research Council
Sun Yung Moon- Reunification Church
Lou Sheldon- Traditional Values Coalition
Jerry Falwell- Liberty University/Old Time Gospel Hour/Moral Majority(now defunct) general ANTI-DEM/pro segregation shill and "expert" on gay people CNN relies on for "balance".:eyes:
Phyllis Schlaffley- Eagle Forum
Beverly LaHaye- Concerned Women for America, wife of Left Behind author Tim. CWFA's usual spokesman is a GUY! Bob Knight

They are all in bed with each other, funding each other's agendas, and hiding as if they're individual "citizens groups" to keep oponnents off balance. Every once in a while a new name will crop up, but it's usually funded/staffed by the same old reconstructionists and former Birchers.

Then there's the fringe, street theater nutball, Fred Phelps, who can't be taken seriously, but embarasses those from the above list often. Go FRED! He's the pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka Ks. His congregation is his family...that's it!

Here's and excellent resource on ReichWing orgs...

7. The aspiration pneumonia was the truly significant finding
It means that anything the Schindlers had put into her mouth had gone directly into her lungs.

They would likely have killed her eventually.

2. Wonder if they'll bother to broadcast the results?
maybe just confirming that yes, Teri did still have a brain....leaving out all those pesky details that just clutter up those librul's minds...

3. I was watching tv live this am when the news conference started.
MSNBC carried all (or almost all) of the live event. I switched to FOX several times and they carried part of it live and then while it was still going on they had their talking heads yapping away while showing live video feed - no audio from news conference. I switched to CNN a couple of times and never caught them showing the live feed.

4. I also noticed ...
this. "An autopsy on Terri Schiavo backed her husband's contention that she was in a persistent vegetative state"

They are still trying to make Michael out to be some demon, by insisting that HE had diagnosed her as PVS.

It was not her Husbands diagnosis, it was the contention of virtually every credible doctor who saw her. He was merely using the diagnosis that the medical experts had unanimously given.

And no I do not consider Frists view of a video tape as a credible opinion.

Cheers
Drifter

8. That's what I was going to say. It's not "her husband's claim"
it's the court-appointed physicians' claim. Yet I've heard it called "her husband's claim" every time it's mentioned by the msm talking heads.

6. AFA - Wildmon, All White Supremacist Hate, all day & night
Dobson is the Demon behind "Focus on the Family."

Donald Wildmon is the white supremacist Demon behind AFA Radio.

Both of them are the true agents of Satan, the Lord of Republicanism.

12. Drs. Bush, Frist and DeLay
The 3 responses to this autopsy I want to hear are Drs. Bush, because he is such a numbnut he will still say she was a living thinking human being, Dr. DeLay because he will still say that her husband abused her and the autopsy wasn't conclusive, and mostly the real Dr. Frist as he explains why he souldn't lose his medical license.
