Are continued lawsuits re: Schindlers an attempt to keep this news?

[Mike Daniels]

I'm convinced now that the strategy is to continue the law suits as long as possible not for Terri's sake but an attempt to form public opinion.

I imagine that every time the Schindler's are on Hannity's show saying that Terri developed more extensive verbal skills overnight that at least a few people are swung over to the pro-tube reinsertion side. The longer they keep this going the more chance they have to swing opinion towards their stand.

Admittedly, I don't think they're going to reverse the margin between the polling results before Terri gives up the ghost but the longer they keep this up the more they can create doubt as to Terri's actual state.

Perhaps I'm wrong but the media has shown they'll give the Schindlers and their camp followers unlimited coverage with no critical comment or questioning so who knows...

1. The shorter time gets, the more outrageous the lies will become

Be prepared for Hannity to start saying that Terri was painting her toe nails and reading Cosmo this morning.

2. I have no doubt we'll hear about Terri having "last words"

Of course she is completely incapable of speech, but what will they care anyway?

3. This is funded by the Anti- Abortion forces.

That was discussed on last night's Olbermann show. Over twenty million spent so far.
