How hysterical can the Republicans get over Schiavo?

[quaoar]

Cal Thomas has a column in which he compares Terri Schiavo to Rosa Parks and Alexandr Solzhenitsyn:

And Pat Buchanan is comparing the "execution" of Terri Schiavo to Auschwitz.

Good God Almighty! How fucking hysterical can they get?

[Bouncy Ball]

1. They get THIS hysterical:

http://www.petitiononline.com/ijg520/petition.html

(Note: there are disruptors posting "signatures" there, too, as you will see.)

It's alternately amusing and disturbing.

[quaoar]

3. Wow

The invective on that petition is astounding.

[katinmn]

10. yeah, I posted one. Couldn't resist!

Boy, are they Sick!

[Vanje]

16. This one is funny

"19877. Andy Fitch. judge george greer should be arrested by the FBI for breaking an inhumanitarin law "

[katinmn]

And this...

19972. Marianne Flynn
This judge had no legal right to the opinion he gave and has sentenced Terri Schiavo to death.

LMAO

[Vanje]

21. This petition is making me convulse with laughter!

24. posted this on petition

"The returning good sense of our country threatens abortion to their hopes, & the clergy believe that any portion of power confided to me, will be exerted in opposition to their schemes. And they believe rightly; for I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

signed it "Thomas Jefferson"

[quaoar]

25. Good thing Jefferson isn't alive today

He'd be sent to Gitmo.

2. Coming from Buchanan that's funny

Pat has made comments at different times about how the US should not have attacked Nazi Germany, because they never attacked the US.

7. Buchanon on hardball last night

Said the Bush's need to send in federal marshalls and force them to put the tube back in!NUTSO!

[Inland]

4. Today's cartoon in Chicago Sun Times

seemed to equate the situation with the crucifixtion of Christ.

5. We had better watch out or the South will rise again.

Gee and to think this is from the people who loved to hang people in trees. And now like to fire bomb Iraq cities. Will wonders ever stop giving me a new out look on life in the USA

[adwon]

6. This isn't the South

The problem is that all the 'family secrets' somehow got loose and mixed up the Bible with Theocracy for Dummies.

[izzie]

20. I guess I mean the 'fundies' and not the So, you are right

8. From Jeff Gannon

I heart Turd-Blossom! Karl, If youre reading this please call me. All is forgiven, except the $12750 that you owe me for my escort services. Call me dude. Hey. I know you caught me naked with GWB, but Dude! THat meant NOTHING to me. That was pure politics. What WE HAD was LOvE, Man! LovE!. Call me. Karl. Please.

[Skidmore]

9. Plenty. We're talking about

fundamentalists who are used to giving themselves over to the moment in worship services.

[quaoar]

23. True

I guess the next thing we will see is Tom DeLay speaking in tongues on the floor of the House.

[Spazito]

11. The screeching of the fundies is starting to resemble the same

level of the segregationists during school integration, imo, so it is not impossible that the same level of crisis couldn't occur in having the federal government having to act to ensure the law is followed in the face of politicians and their 'followers' trying to subvert it.

[Nothing Without Hope]

12. It's not how hysterical THEY are, it's how hysterical they can get

the PUBLIC.

They want to complete their overthrow of democracy and install a theocratic fascist dictatorship. If they can whip up enough public support, they can get the citizens of the country to, in effect, build their own prison and lock themselves inside it so they feel safe from all the invented "enemies."

I think you're missing the point by focussing in the wrong place. They ARE whipping up a lot of emotional frenzy, despite what the polls are saying. They want ammunition to continue their barrage of "test cases" with the goal of destoying the authority of the judicial branch of the US government.

[Pathwalker]

13. I'm thinking Waco 2.

n/t

[AlCzervik]

14. disgusting comparison for one

and for 2, these guys should be worrying about their own souls for exploiting this woman.

[onenote]

15. so cal thomas is vs abortions for teenage victims of incest

That's what he seems to be saying...that because people argued abortions should be available to teenage girls impregnated by their drunken fathers, we started down the slope to "abortion on demand". Cal have any daughters???

onenote

[LuminousX]

17. My goal this weekend

is to knock up a few women and force them to have abortions... you know, just for kicks.

C'mon everyone, ABORTIONS ARE FUN!!

[whistle]

18. How about committing mass murder in revenge....

[w4rma]

19. Infinite insanity. They are totally whacked. Dems are smart to stay away

from this craziness. And it's not for lack of trying on the Republican side to suck Dems into this.

[ladjf]

22. America is dying of religiosity disease. It has truly become a

major epidemic. Either a cure is found or most of us will die whether we have the disease or not. Their sickness will kill innocent healthy people.
