The Schiavo Witch Trials
I think we need to start framing the Republicans prosecutorial attack on anything they don't see as "moral" for what it is: a witch hunt.

You don't agree with our religious ideology? You are to be suspected, watched, and harrassed the rest of your days.

By overzealously going after Michael Schiavo, Jeb Bush is putting this man's life in danger. At what point will the American public draw the line? The media, obviously will not draw that line for us.

My fear is that Micahel Schiavo's days are numbered because of the recklessness of a political zealot.

1. Precisely
I saw a car with a hand-written sign in the back window this morning. It said: "Welcome to the new Dark Age" Sums it up pretty well.

2. Well....I don't know about physical danger....
I hope not.

Politically, I hope they keep it up, because it is NOT popular with Americans overall. Polling has shown that. I hope they beat it into the ground, because it only helps Dems and makes them look like fanatics and idealogues.

3. Anything but the DSM. (Neocons say, "Look! Over here!")
This Schiavo nonsense has gone on way too long.
