Paranoid Rants at FR on Schiavo
Edited on Tue Mar-22-05 05:36 PM by Charlie Brown
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1368192/posts


"Sit by and let this happen Jeb Bush and George Bush - lets see what history will say of you, you have the power to stop this but do nothing - shame."

"I think we all have a right to question why the media is pushing for death. I now have a very low opinion of ABC, CBS, and Fox, and MSNBC. Now I will never trust them again."

"These are dangerous, wicked times.
We are not safe."

"I am praying for her life but if she dies, she is in my opinion a martyr and may be beatified/canonized someday, like St. Gianna Beretta Molla."

"It's so horrible. I hope a few God fearing Republicans USE that in their ads durign re-election or to get elected. It's over due ... take the gloves OFF. Tell it like it is."

"Ten thousand brave souls could liberate Terri easily, but they'd have to be armed with more than the Holy Sprit. Fear not, the answer is available in the sporting goods section of any Wal Mart!"

"The hospice is not a branch of government, so no separation of powers issue is involved." - THIS IS THE DUMBEST STATEMENT I'VE EVER READ AT FR.

2. So concerned about the dying
If only this concern extended to all those who die every year because they could not affod health care, or to all those who die because of US foreign policy.

3. This is very odd. I AGREE with them - for completely different reasons,
but these ARE "dangerous, wicked times" and anything that makes freepers distrust FOX is a good deal for me.

6. Right... didn't you know the bulemia and fasting were signs of faith?
Forcing herself to :puke: after bingeing was her way of offering up suffering to the Lord and Virgin, and it's all a sign of holiness.

And Mr. Schiavo wants her dead because he's really satan in disguise, tempting her and trying to get her off the path to beatification and canonization.

Think I'm wrong? Wait five years. There's a cult of Elian, there will be a cult of Theresa, too...

7. But wait, there's more :
To: Jeff Head

Hey Jeff - Heard about your "repairs"; Glad to see all went well.

You know, I think that if Florida and the District of Criminals
continue this state-sanctioned murder of an innocent woman, God
will punish Florida with a hurricane season that will make last
year pale in comparison. I don't want to even think about what
He will do to DC.

Maranatha!

10. They want her Sainted??
Because that's a GREAT message for my daughter...Saint Terri of Eating Disorders. :eyes: It may be somewhat cruel to mention, but bulimia is the reason why she's in this state. She's not a martyr, she's not a hero, she's a woman with unhealthy body image.

If there's a lesson to this, it should be that people can and do die from starving and purging. THAT is what I want our daughters (and a growing number of sons) to learn from all of this.

11. So what exactly would the "brave 10,000" DO with her...
...once they "liberated" her...

"You wipe her, Cleetus"
"I ain't wipin' her, YOU wipe her, Jim-Bob!"

12. It's a laugh a minute!
"Ten thousand brave souls could liberate Terri easily, but they'd have to be armed with more than the Holy Sprit. Fear not, the answer is available in the sporting goods section of any Wal Mart!"

Go ahead and try it, you morAns!

13. Personally I think their posts are hilarious
- these people are unthinking uncritical sheep with brains not unlike the unfortunate Terri herself. If they could only see (and smell) the great steaming pile of hypocrisy that's being served up to them.

The Republican President, the Republican Congress, the radical fundamentalist extremist Christian groups - all those who are staunch defenders of the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman are hell-bent on trampling on the rights of a male husband to make decisions for his incapacitated female wife. If they believe so much in heterosexual Christian marriage, why are they demonizing Michael Schiavo so much ??

It would be side-splitting if it wasn't so tragic - for goodness sake let the poor woman go to her Lord - enough is enough.

15. let them rant...
... I'm more interested in the fact that their newfound disdain for Bush is the slow beginning of an epiphany for some of these sadly deceived people.

They aren't even aware of the basics of this case. And they are vicious and scary!

They think the google icon today is ridiculing the Schiavo issue when it is about World Water Day.


http://www.google.com/news?q=world+water+day+2005&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&sa=N&tab=wn

:shrug:
Post 216

Apparently it's in celebration of "World Water Day".

"the folks at Google said "Hey! Let's poke fun of the vegatable woman in Florida! Tee hee hee"..."

Exactly. You gotta wonder at their choosing to highlight World Water Day at this time. How many other insignificant "holidays" do the people over there ignore?

From one of the sites they link:

World Water Day is a 1992 United Nations creation, not even an American holiday. I may be wrong but don't think I've ever seen them highlight holidays in other countries or that were proclaimed by other bodies.

And the holiday has been around for twelve years. Did Google come up with a cute icon for it last year? Somehow I doubt it.

19. Please, I'm begging you
If the original poster saved the FR thread with the following in it

>"Ten thousand brave souls could liberate Terri easily, but they'd have to be armed with more than the Holy Sprit. Fear not, the answer is available in the sporting goods section of any Wal Mart!"<

send a copy of the entire thread to the FBI. This is a threat of bodily harm against the staff of the hospice. It must be followed up on.

Thank you,
Julie

20. Where are the FR libertarians, hiding under rocks?
Where are the small government strict constructionalists that I was told were the responsible fellows who made up the republican party?

22. They received death wishes, apparently
Neal Boortz's web-mail blog:

http://boortz.com/nuze/index.html

"I strongly agree with your stance on Terri Schiavo. Unfortunately when I made my views known on Free Republic, I received death wishes from the Christian FReepers and was banned as a Troll. I am a Viet Nam veteran and have been registered as a Republican since 1967. I have never in my life voted for a Democrat. Keep up the good work," Dave Jackson

21. These are mainstream conservatives
Make sure all your moderate friends understand that..... Funny that they will go to war to "liberate" Terri Schaivo but strangely military recruting centers are empty.

25. On the Hannity.com forum somebody actually wrote that
On the Hannity.com forum somebody actually wrote that Bushit and Congress should send in Federal Marshalls to save her. LMAO. I asked them if they would get into a gunfight with the police that are stationed there.

Funny how these wingnuts want to cut medicare and medicaid since that is what is paying for her treatment.
