Did anyone just hear that caller on Larry King?
Claimed she is disabled and wants to know if we are going to kill disabled people, sorry to be cynical but that sounded so fake.

6. A plant.
People with disabilities are some of the most politically active groups there are. Rove is very thorough.

7. My impression is that it was a set-up for the blonde lady to claim...
...that Terri's tube removal endangers all disabled people.

15. Sorry but any sane person realizes
that the republican party especially with their judicial appointments are the very enemy of disabled people. God I hate this evil cult.

16. I Didn't Think It Was a Fake
Edited on Thu Mar-24-05 10:13 PM by Crisco
And it enraged me to hear this topic being used as a boogeyman to scare disabled people.

These whack jobs will exploit anyone for control.

PS - I once had an amazing car crash and for the next 5-10 minutes, spoke exactly the way this caller did. It may have been a set-up, but I don't doubt her stutter was genuine.

On edit: Next time anyone in this thread wants to laugh at the disabled, why don't you try tying your hands behind your back, putting tape over your mouth, and see how easily you communicate to others.

18. Sorry, but I cannot believe that it was genuine.
There was already one fake person on the show. This was another. The answer afforded just after the call amounted to nothing short of despicable scare tactics.

20. Yes, It Was Despicable
and I've conceded it may have been a set-up. But I don't doubt the stutter was legit.

If it was a set-up, the whack jobs exploited this woman just as they're exploiting this whole issue.

31. And also think about it
They're losing on this issue. People are leaving the republican party over this issue and are waking up so they're trying to hold onto what they can. Out of nowhere all these nurses and doctors are coming out and everything. It's a circus show. I don't know for sure if that caller was a fake or not. It wouldn't surprise me.

22. It was quite a coincidence she got through
How many thousand are calling over this issue? Very convenient. I don't know it it was staged or not but I thought the serendipity amazing.

17. With all the cuts they are doing to social programs that aid
the disabled, they probably will succeed in killing many of them from neglect and lack of health care and medicines they might need.

23. Absolutely.
This shuck and jive GOP show is disgusting. They don't give a damn about people - they are all about 'cheap shots'.


A bomb scare at the courthouse? How Christian. How exploitative of Randall Terry and his ilk. They love Terry so much, they can't give her the peace that she is entitled to have. Nor do they seem to give a damn about the other residents of the hospice who also are entitled to a peaceful transition.

24. I think most of the people on that panel
tonight were paid off. What a freak show, one of the freakiest I have ever seen.

26. The Woman With The Blonde Hair Was Disabled.. You Could
Clearly See It... And the brunette clearly had a tracheotomy which indicates to this layperson that something serious happened to her...


My mom is an amputee...

I think we need to cut the disabled some slack...

29. The disabled community has been frightened quite a bit in the last
two decades. I believe this could be a read disabled activist. There are cases where the disabled have been murdered by family members, etc. So it is a big fear for them.

I think it is a legitimate take. I mean I am totally against taking out someone's feeding tube without a living will (verbal is okay as long as family all agrees). I think most Democrats feel this way.

The trouble may be in the USA. If what is going on in Texas is true of other states I would be terrified. I mean people are being unplugged when they just can't pay? That is horrific?

I live in Canada so the issue of 'can't pay' is very, very rare. But I whole heartedly support the disabled community in their activism.
So long as what they are afraid of happens.. yes they have a case. I don't think Terry is such a good example to exemplify their case. She is not disabled. She is much more than that.

I hope that the Bush machine is not terrifying the disabled community..but then again Bush already has by passing that law that says if a family can't pay.. they don't get to decide. I for one find that very scary. I would like to know more.
