3. Fucking fascist sociopaths!
Anne Frank, of course, was killed by their ideological kin: the fascists. Can't honor her, right? Bastards.

4. Argh! I'm suffering from stupidity overload
OK, I want to get into this. Terry is actaully more akin t Jesus in that the feeding tube is sort of like the cross....or something.

I'm starting a new relgion, schiavoism, in which we'll all wear little feeding tube pendants in public and once a month lie in bed like vegetables in place of communion

6. Cal Thomas wouldn't...
... recognize Anne Frank if she walked up and bit him on the ass.

Come to think of it, I wish she would.

8. There were people here yesterday equating her with Rosa Parks
So the hyperbole is on both sides, I'm afraid.

She is neither. Frank happened to document the single greatest human tragedy of the last 100 years, and Parks volunteered. Schiavo is a woman abused by life and her own troubles, to the point that those troubles ruined her body and left her to the tender mercies of a mob of fake Christians with axes to grind and political chits to cash in.

It ain't the same thing.

10. The Parks comparison was in response to "why all the attention
to one woman" comments - the idea being it's one woman in a case that represents wider civil rights issues. Not that she similarly volunteered.

14. People HERE were comparing Schiavo to Rosa Parks???
Wow. You're right--she's neither. Why does she have to be any of these things?

17. Wait a second - as one of the people who DID make the Parks
Edited on Fri Mar-25-05 12:54 AM by mondo joe
comparison, I have to say it's taken out of context.

In response to posts like "Why all this attention on one woman Terri Schiavo" I responded "It's 1955: Why all this attention on one woman Rosa Parks".

The point wasn't that Terri Schiavo did anything at all, much less did something like Rosa Parks. That, frankly, would be stupid.

The point was that a story about one person sometimes has much broader implications, and that is why all the attention. But out of context you wouldn't see that.

This is so offensive on so many levels. These people are OUT OF CONTROL! I hope that people realize just how DANGEROUS disordered eating really can be!

13. Ok that is TOTALLY offensive.
Anne Frank was a FIFTEEN year old who was killed in Hitler's concentration camps.

Is he saying Anne Frank was missing most of her brain? Is that what he's saying?

This is just making me sick. Absolutely sick.
