Schiavo sister-in-law receives death threat

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- Michael Schiavo's sister-in-law said a man threatened to shoot her and her family if Terri Schiavo dies, Philadelphia police said Tuesday.

Joan Schiavo, who has testified over the years that Terri Schiavo would not have wanted to be kept alive in her condition, reported Monday evening that a white car drove by her Philadelphia-area home at 4:30 a.m., 5:10 a.m. and 7 a.m., when she was leaving to go to work, said Cpl. Jim Pauley, a police spokesman.

During the last pass, Schiavo told police, the car stopped and the man inside yelled "murderer," then added, "If Terri dies, I'm coming back to shoot you and your family."

37. Amen, Sister(Brother?)
In the Ten Commandments, today's Religious Right would be dragging along Golden Calves and shouting "Where's your Moses Nooowwww!"

40. Time to get the abortion clinic bombers out of the closet
Not just for political scandals anymore!!!

Now store all of your paramilitary/terrorists in your own home!!!!

:sarcasm:

Now seriously, I'll bet those nut jobs will come out in force. And with them being removed from the terrorist watch list, I'll bet we have many, many murders in the name of life ahead. :puke:

How about the part that has anything to do with reason, rationality, logic, compassion, understanding, peacefulness, and love.

29. They used to march in Labor Day parade.
My Mom said before WWII, they used to march in the Labor Day parade in her home town. They covered their faces so no one would know who they were.
People were a lot poorer then and only had one pair of shoes.
The marchers could be identified by their shoes. Everyone knew who was marching.

The hats on that group look like little dunce caps.

28. How about the Cult of life, instead.
This cult has received public recognition, but it is still a cult. It is they who decide who should live and who should die. The MSM has given them too much recognition and this has empowered them.

8. Same kind of people
who can somehow justify "saving fetuses" by bombing abortion clinics and killing physicians.
I know nothing about Terri Shiavo's personal life, but I'll bet she'd want nothing to do with murder being done in her name.

10. The utter hate shown by right wingers is plain scary
and downright ugly.

Was this woman suppose to perjure herself under oath or deny Terri's wishes? Is that what the right wingers would have her do? How do right wingers such as these even consider themselves as Christian?

11. I hope nobody is surprised by this *sigh* Abortion is murder but murdering
abortion doctors is OK. The "culture of life" pResident is pro-death penalty. Killing those who disagree with you about life/death/end of life issues is morally fine and dandy.
These people are sick motherfuckers.

12. I hope she got the plates.
Because there is no 'if' about it. TS will finish dying within days, and even replacing the tube would likely not stop it.

held accountable for it. Our nobel King Bush could step in and say-enough is enough! But he won't!!

34. The media would invent some stupid slander like:
"Some people say she committed suicide to make the Schindlers look bad."

It took the OKC bombing for them to back off from hatred for a short while before. Unfortunately, the effect was only temporary.

35. Right to Life only applies to vegetables and zygotes -
- not doctors, family members of vegetables, innocent people on death row, brown people, gay people, animals, or non-Christians.

I think that's the 11th commandment.

39. Right-wing terrorists get a pass in this administration...
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not list right-wing domestic terrorists and terrorist groups on a document that appears to be an internal list of threats to the nation’s security.

According to the list — part of a draft planning document obtained by CQ Homeland Security — between now and 2011 DHS expects to contend primarily with adversaries such as al Qaeda and other foreign entities affiliated with the Islamic Jihad movement, as well as domestic radical Islamist groups.

It also lists left-wing domestic groups, such as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), as terrorist threats, but it does not mention anti-government groups, white supremacists and other radical right-wing movements, which have staged numerous terrorist attacks that have killed scores of Americans. Recent attacks on cars, businesses and property in Virginia, Oregon and California have been attributed to ELF.
