These are 9 Republican Florida legislators who voted against the Terri extremists. Now this Southern Baptist newspaper is targeting them. They are already getting threats and have police patrols on alert around their offices. This is a church newspaper. They should be ashamed.
This is not the Florida Baptist Witness we received weekly when I growing up. My father was a real Christian, and true Southern Baptist leader.....if he were still living he would be irate.

SNIP...."The St. Petersburg Times reported March 20 the GOP senators in Tallahassee became known as the Republican Nine when they resolved together last week that they would not support legislation offered by Sen. Daniel Webster, R-Winter Garden, to help save Terri Schiavo from the cruel death ordered by Sixth Circuit Judge George Greer.
Don’t miss the irony – nine Republican senators decided while they enjoyed a meal that it was okay for a Florida citizen to be starved to death!It’s often been said that one of the key responsibilities of good journalism is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. I cannot think of a better illustration of this maxim than our coverage of the Terri Schiavo euthanasia case.
Terri Schiavo is being afflicted and deserves comfort and certain comfortable public officials need to be afflicted...."And how, sir, do you recommend they be afflicted? That is a threat from the church against these 9 legislators, one of whom is mine. I intend to call her.
If your stomach can take it, read the whole article. It will give an insight. I left this church two years ago, and I am now very proud that I did.
