Protesters in Schiavo case flood Florida abuse hot line

story: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/florida/sfl-0325abusehotline,0,3822194.story?coll=sfla-news-florida

At least it keeps them from shooting people!

if one of those people would do just that.
I listened to Michael Regan(?) tonight,he was talking to a woman about the horrible situation,etc.when she she said,ift would be the republicans fault if Terri died because they're not doing enough,blah,blah blah. Mike regan almost lost it and at one time he said..."take a gun,shoot Schiavo,shoot his wife,shoot his children,but don't blame the republicans for this"

Unbelivably irresponsible!I was thinking what if one of those fanatics would actually do that? They are so crazed,I'm afraid somebody is going to get hurt before this is over!

does not matter whether it is next week or next year... count on another OKC event... that WILL BE the next Terra Attack

Jebbie has sown the kinds of winds that lead to whirldwinds and shit storms...

all hell could break loose!

I just hope the more violent protests are disorganized. An earlier attempt to "rescue" TS was foiled by the police blockade of the hospice, so I fear that a more organized attack will indeed be planned. Then what? Murders? Riots? Martial law?

I think a lot of people are expecting reports of breaking news from the epicenter of this horror to be announced at any time this weekend or later, as long as TS survives. After she dies, then the question shifts from what they will attempt as a "rescue" to what they will do to people who "did not protect TS" as a "punishment."

Yes, incredibly irresponsible things have been said by the hate-radio announcers and others in this case, and we all will reap what they are sowing. They've gotten by with lies and horrors all along on their shows, they feel absolutely no restraint in what they are spewing out to their increasingly violence-prone audience.

He's directing it at an audience of fanatics. And some of those same fanatics may just take him at his word. They've painted themselves into a corner on this one with all the hysteria that they keep ratcheting up, they're leaving themselves no way out. There's at least a few of them who will refuse to go quietly, I'm afraid.

What a dreadful episode in American history. Dreadful. A new low. Brought to you by the bush brothers.

for people who NEED help, you sick pieces of shit.

Only Speed Savior can save the day!

Go Speed Savior, Go Speed Savior, Go Speed Savior, GO-O!

:kick:

By allowing the hospitals to pull the plug on people who can;t afford medical help. Where were the protesters for that? Didn't they want this child to live for another 15 years? Where was Tom Delay, this is happening in his own state, with a law signed by his President( not ours) when he was the Gov. Where are the 'right-to-life'ers on this?
Oh wait... Did I say Bush signed the law. Does that mean the Bush and his fascist buddies just don't give a damn about us, those who are not the 'Have and the Have More'.

The kid was black (I saw his mother on TV, she said she had little money and couldn't fight them in Court) -- need I say more.

The Bushes still refer to our black citizens as "Negroes"

of the baby, Sun, had received no prenatal care. Another gift from the poor, who need the help, going directly into the pockets of Bush supporters, in the form of even more tax cuts.

This country has absolutely no sense of proportion when it comes to matters like this. They just salivate like Pavlov's dog when their Idiot-in-Chief rings the bell.

Hey 13 year old girl carry that kid to term---with little or no health care and when the kid is born weird, let the grandparents raise it and whenever you need treatment-- just go to the emergency room and don't pay

Oh and yes-- unless its really an emergency -- the hospital will tell you to quit crying and go home.

LOL

My wife works with domestic abuse vitims and has been told their calling anybody and everybody. Sad.

and expecting a different result.

about Iraq, BushCo and other assorted weasels?
eom

I was wondering, how many others are there at the hospice? How are all these "protesters" affecting the others there? Anyone hear any talk of this?

on DU yesterday @ a man w/terminal cancer(?) who had expressed to his grand daughter his fear of dying alone. She had been staying at the hospice (many provide sleeping quarters for family close to the end) & his nurse called the room & told to come - his time was near. Due to the increased security from all the protesters trying to invade the hospice to 'rescue' Mrs. Schiavo, she was detained at a checkpoint (in her pajamas) for a short time, until staff intervened. It was long enough to keep her from her grand father's bedside ... he died alone. She gave an interview as she was leaving the hospice, surprise - not many news outlets covered it. She said that before the fundies descended, families were able to take some of their loved ones outside, for a bit of fresh air & sunshine. I would imagine that would be terribly precious to someone savoring every bit of life they had left to them. Now, they can't to that simple thing, go outside on the grass for a break from the rooms. The grand daughter said it had begun to feel like a prison.

Yes, they are affecting the end days of others in the hospice. Their days are irreplaceable, just as precious to them & their families as Mrs. Schiavo's are to her family. They should be ashamed of the strain they are placing on the others in the hospice. That grand daughter will forever remember her grand-dad died w/out her, alone.

Could we get some residents to file suit against these asshat protesters?

It's clear that the protests are having a negative impact on the quality of life of these residents.

Could they at least get a court order to MOVE these wackos? It could be win/win if they tried...just imagine the wingnuts fighting a case AGAINST 70 dying people!

in which those who make abuse claims that are false can be criminally charged. It's time to bring charges against the people doing this.

That brought tears to my eyes. My Nana was recently in the hospital due to a fall, and I can't imagine her being alone at all- and dying alone? Don't get me started! :(

Terrible that the others can't have their last moments in peace.

Inadvertently? The article says this as if these people actually give a shit.

it is for these idiots!

For one woman?? What about the mother of 4 who is beaten severely by her husband because she couldn't get through the abuse line??

WTF???

These people are less sentient than Terri Schiavo.

Why can't we drop a big butterfly net over 'em all, and haul them to the zoo?

I just find it so amazing how these fundies trip all over themselves to protect brain dead women and unborn infants.

If they really gave a crap about "life," they'd be storming Congress and asking for healthcare, poverty relief, and an end to the war...

Grrrrrr....

How ass backwards can people be??

can not swallow.

tests and having independent impartial neurologists examine her first as the impartial guardian recommended. (Instead of the "pull the plug first, ask questions later" tactics of Judge Greer and Mike Schiavo). Once the swallowing and neurologist info came back to the impartial guardian, I believe I would follow the impartial guardian's advice, wouldn't you?

if she CAN feel anything, should be pricked, probed, stuck or prodded any more to prove what already has been proven over the past 15 years. All of a sudden, after 15 years---DUH! We should give her a swallowing test!!!!! We shoulda had a V8!!

To suggest that she should be subjected to more torture just to ease someone's mind who isn't directly involved in her care is selfish, self-centered and self-absorbed.



see that big black space in her brain--that's where who Terri "is" used to live. In 2005, no one has invented any proceedure, medication or method to regrow functioning, auto-programmed brain tissue. Terri isn't coming back.

How do peoeple think THE REV JIMMY SAWAGGERT was able to strip mine their pocket books for so many years?

I think Jeb Bush is getting a real learning experience--hoping learning that many of these far right protesters (fundamentalists--followers of Randell Terry who has been at the parents side)--are very dangerous people!!

his ass off to Gitmo.

to the Hospice..............trying up our much needed response teams to be at local emergencies..these people are total religious bastards.

I'd like to post that information to another forum! Thanks!

bay news 9..no printed story.sorry.I also was trying to find one.

Umm...lets see now, they have a press conference with Jebbbie and the head of this agency and announce that they have the authority to go and take Terri....they try to take Terri...they back off...and now they don't know what to do with the rabid wingnuts they've stirred up?
Puh-Leeze!

if someone didn't make the call, then they've allowed someone into their home or use their cell phone to make the call. It would teach them to choose their friends better.

a case involving removal of a feeding tube, press three. For real emergencies, stay on the line and an operator will be with you shortly.

I would bet money that these same people are prowar.
Sheep without a shepard. Lost. Lost, and stupid. It's just a guess, but I can almost guarantee it.

with this kind of behavior?

Not to mention waste tax dollars.
