The feeding tube frenzy swirling around 'America's Most Wanted Desperate Housewife', Terri Schiavo, just proves how rightwing 'compassion' is reserved excusively for those who can't defend themselves against unctious vultures smothering them in false piety ie: unborn embryos, slain moppets, and dead-on-the-cross Jesus. (Clearly, the Mel Gibson meat puppet version of Christ does a better job promoting the Republican agenda than the living, breathing political agitator who scorned the wealthy and believed in taxes.)
Similarly, these angels of death have made martyrs out of Jon Benet Ramsey, Laci Peterson and now Terri Schiavo - people they had no interest in in life, but whom they now fetishize in death. Necrophilia has always been at the center of wingnut ideology, as evidenced by their preoccupations with the unborn and the undead. And perhaps no one personifies the rightwing death cult agenda more than Peggy Noonan, who has made a career for herself insinuating herself with corpses: chief among her involuntary love puppets, Ronald Reagan, and the late Senator Paul Wellstone (on whom she famously performed a post-mortum act of ventriloquism by having him criticizing his mourners for their 'partisan' eulogies at his own funeral).
Miss Peggy now leads America's rising professional class of funeral mourners - the paid strangers who will sob over an open coffin to give the impression that their intended victims merit these public convulsions of fake compassion. These days you can find virtually hundreds of websites where such ghoulish mourners can gather to say graveside 'prayers' for Laci Peterson and 'Baby Connor'. And with Scott Peterson's conviction out of the way, they've now moved on to hold cyber vigils for Terri Schiavo, whose vegetative state reflects their own diminished roles as
decision makers. ......
