The Terri Schiavo Foundation (www.terrisfight.org) today announced that celebrities Mel Gibson, Patricia Heaton, Randy Travis and Pat Boone have issued a fervent plea to reinsert Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube.



Actor and director Mel Gibson, known for his role in the movie “Braveheart” and his recent international success “The Passion of the Christ,” said, “I fully support the efforts of Mr. & Mrs. Schindler to save their daughter, Terri Schiavo, from a cruel starvation. Terri’s husband should sign the care of his wife over to her parents so she can be properly cared for.”



Actress Patricia Heaton, star of “Everybody Loves Raymond,” and Honorary Chair of Feminists for Life, said she is outraged. "We must not let Terri Schiavo be starved to death. This deliberate and painful destruction of a woman’s life cannot be justified or tolerated. Terri deserves better. Removal of a feeding tube will result in a slow starvation that is cruel and painful. She is not in a comatose state and she is not suffering from terminal disease. Terri may no longer be perfect or complete but she has a fundamental right to life. Her feeding tube must be re-inserted.”



Country music star Randy Travis made an appeal on Terri’s behalf, saying, “I would like to lend my support to the Schindlers in their efforts to save their daughter. All life has value. I’m praying Terri’s feeding tube will be reinserted. I feel this decision was wrong, deciding the fate of an innocent person’s life by starvation. May God lead the powers that be to reverse this decision and give Terri her life back.”

They wouldn't be hypocrites on this, now would they?

So Mel is one of the "credible" Hollywood actors. Sheesh.

where do you think their "states rights" and "smaller federal governement" nonsense came from? It's that same "flip flopper" "I'm no nation builder" bullshit you hear from the republican party on a constant basis.

BTW- good point

It's part of the personality disorder required to be a conservative. Wouldn't expect anything different. Do you REALLY think he gives a shit? I think it's just a hook for more publicity, especially considering he's so involved with the cause that he can't even spell the woman's last name correctly. Do people realize that his 'blockbuster' movie was based in part on the ramblings of a psychotic nun? True story of Christ my ass.

Do any of these people have their feet on terra firma? Stupid question. Take a cruise through Freeper-ville...they're losing what they have left of their collective mind over this.

It's OK . . . If You're A Republican!

"Remember, it's not Fascism if we do it."

at least I'd learn how to spell her last fucking name.

Plus, he was concerned enough to send it from a seafood shack.

Just shows you how clueless some folks are.

When Terry finally dies the right wing lunatics will blame the husband and the courts. Some nut bag like the guy who killed the abortion Doctor in Canada a few years back will kill Terry's husband and claim it in the name of God.
This Christian Mythology is getting out of control and more and more scary every day.

Notice that it was faxed from "Drago's Seafood Restaurant".

and exactly why should we care what he thinks Mr Schiavo should do?Mr Gibson has said his own wife will go to Hell since she isn't a Catholic.

Yet terrisfight.org treat it like it was a holy relic from Mel.

Bets are Mel signed this along with the bar tab.

The conviction of this is underwhelming.

The Opus Deis are having a field day.

She's not being starved and it's not cruel - it's called dehydration and it's painless. She can't feel pain anyway or more correctly, can't process it if she does. Her brain is LIQUID.

They must have heard about what fun we were having with it.

a few hundred thousand lives from death in Iraq?

Mel Gibson desecrated Jesus' memory in hate filled gore and I'll never forgive him for it.

hehehehehehe

Ufortunately they're acting like complete dipshits.

they are dipshits...

jesus I am so sick of this terry thing...

I'm gonna draw Moses on an egg roll with a magic marker, and sell it for 50,000 dollars

...is that Terri on a grilled cheese sandwich? Don't let the fundies get ahold of that...

:wow:

shut up and sing!!

not a one of them realizes Terri's fate has been out of Michael's hands for quite some time, it's in the court's hands. Even if he were to change his mind or accept a hundred million dollar "bribe" there is nothing he can do to change what have been proven in court to be Terri's wishes. All he did is get the ball rolling.

ignorant fools, IMO

"a cruel starvation"..."slow starvation that is cruel and painful"...

SHE DOESN'T FEEL ANYTHING! What is it that these people can't understand?

Oh, that's right, they don't WANT to understand. It isn't about reality. It's about control...you can't have control over your own life, or that of people you are legally responsible for...

I guess you aren't allowed to die in this country unless it's by poverty-induced starvation or as a soldier fighting for oil.

who dresses like this?

"Come to the Florida Sunshine Tree..."

AUUGGGGHHHH!! MY EYES!!! IT BURNS!!!!!

If he can't be trusted to dress himself, how can we trust what he has to say??? :crazy:



(apologies to Little Richard)

Would he want the plug pulled. I think anyone would.

She was on Entertainment Tonight(!) lying her ass off. (Was channel-surfing, just waiting for Jeopardy to come back from commercial break.)

I caught this idiot babbling about how awful it was that Mr. Schiavo "abused" his wife :wtf: , that he should divorce her, blah, blah, blah. You know, the usual orchestrated lies from these nutsacks.

I just about threw a shoe at the television when I saw this lying P.O.S. I thought my head would explode with all of the LIES! Fortunately, Jeopardy came back on and I felt better.

...this is what I get for channel-surfing! :argh:

No surprise, she's from Ohio. Her brother is a columnist for the Plain Dealer. He's known as the "Minister of Culture." He's an idiot, too. Thinks he's cool. Sorry, dude. You. are. not.

Actually, I can't be sure if he still writes for the PeeDee, I haven't picked it up since 1986.

The catagories are...
Congressional sociopaths
slimeball preachers
Infotainment
Our shredded Constitution
and corporate media whores.

Deep 13, you are a delight!

:P

And it is not just because you are my wife, either!
:hug:

:loveya: :hug:

is it any surprise that it would show up in person, too?

He remarks are just reflective of the gossipmongering the religious bigots keep hauling out with the hope that repeating hearsay will drive public opinion to their side.

They believe in a culture of life about as much as they believe in freedom. Maybe we can get Heaton a part as an Arabic wife in a new sit-com. . ."Everybody loves Iraynian"

What I couldn't stand was the ET production of her propaganda--cue sappy music, close-up on tears. And the question--"aren't you afraid of backlash?" (Ooooh, the brave outspoken celebrity.) And she just had to slam Michael Schiavo--if Heaton's pro-life, fine, but that doesn't mean she has to mindlessly repeat unproven garbage against someone. If her point had merit, she could have made it without the garbage.

Yes, I concur.

The Media are just plain evil.

Anything for the Almighty ratings.

but if ALL LIFE IS VALUED, where the fuck were they when this gd Iraqi invasion took place? Did they stand up for VALUED LIFE then? Piss on the lot of them.

... That only applies to decent white, 'mericun Christians, not those towel-heads in Iraq!
