The Terri Schiavo "Advocates" Officially Jump the Shark

Col. Bo Gritz is now on the case.

THE PASSION OF TERRI SCHIAVO

Terri Schiavo (41) lays paralized at Woodside Hospice in Pinellas Park, Florida (between Clearwater and St Petersburg). Local probate judge George Greer, like Pontius Pilate, has washed his hands of responsibility and ordered that Michael Schiavo may remove Terri's feeding-tube at 1:00 P.M. on 18 March 2005 causing her to die of starvation! This marks the second time Greer has ordered the death of Terri Schiavo. The first time the tube was removed for six-days before the Florida State Legislature passed "Terri's Law" allowing Governor Jeb Bush to intervene and order the tube restored. Since then the Florida Supreme Court struck down Terri's Law as being un-Constitutional, and the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to consider the case. Terri is NOT in a coma, she is alert, eyes open, recognizes friends, breathes on her own and is able to swallow. She is innocent of any wrong-doing, and helpless to save her own life. Not even the worst criminal on death-row suffers death by starving and dehydration. Terri's parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, want to care for their daughter in their home, but Michael Schiavo says "NO." Terri must die for him to collect her million-dollar estate. Amer-I-Cans MUST ACT to SAVE TERRI or America may lose our national soul! The FEW (Fellowship of Eternal Warriors) is prepared to do what must be done to stop this sick act of legal-homicide! You are invited to participate in the SAVING OF TERRI SCHIAVO!

2. He's right. She's not in a coma.

She's in a permanent vegetative state. I had a talk with my mom tonight. She told me that her bishop in Florida put out a letter at mass on Sunday stating that things to alleviate suffering are appropriate.

I asked mom if she wanted me to keep giving her food and water if she was in the same state as Terri. She said the bishop's letter shook what she had been thinking. I told her fine that I'd finally get to dress her up in outfits and fix her hair the way I like.

4. Okay, he states this:

"Terri is NOT in a coma, she is alert, eyes open, recognizes friends, breathes on her own and is able to swallow."

Then exactly WHY does she have a feeding tube, why does she not make some indication of what she wants, etc etc ect...

This guy is full of

9. Good point

Does she tell what she wants for dinner? How she'd like her hair? Does she say hello to people when they enter the room?

11. Yeah, to read this guy

you'd think she is tied to her bed when all she really wants to do is get up and go work at Wal-Mart.

5. A pet chicken, a weeping statue, and now THIS?

Wasn't this guy involved with the Weaver incident in Idaho years ago? Isn't he some kind of militia type?

And finally, is he officially stationed in front of the hospice now?

I shouldn't laugh, but this thing has become suddenly hilarious...

7. At one point there was an article in World Nut Daily about the

"treatment" or "therapy" the Schindlers were considering for their daughter. It involved a quack who gave her some kind of "phone therapy" by telling her he was going to kill her and then asking the Schindlers if that had any effect. In connection with this, World Nut Daily showed a photograph of a machine that would be used on Terri. The machine would supposedly make use of plant protein. I've been searching and searching for it online so that I could post it here, but I can't find it.
