They Lie About Everything, Part Two
One of my e-mail listees is on various crazy right-wing lists. He's been providing us with stomach-churning samples of the lies and bullshit that the "right to lifers" are feeding their gullible followers about Terri Schiavo. Here's a taste:
http://disc.server.com/discussion.cgi?disc=149495;article=77960;title=APFN Cheryl Ford RN TERRI BEGAN TO CRY AND TRIED TO SAY "I WANT TO LIVE" Fri Mar 18, 2005 16:44 64.140.158.50 from Cheryl Ford RN - Fight4Terri@aol.com PRESS RELEASE: MARCH 18. 2005 2:00 PM EASTERN TIME ATTORNEY BARBARA WELLER TOLD TERRI THAT THEY WERE GOING TO REMOVE HER FEEDING TUBE , TERRI BEGAN TO CRY AND TRIED TO SAY "I WANT TO LIVE" ATTORNEY WELLER SAID SHE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME CALMING TERRI DOWN. WE NEED PEOPLE TO SURROUND HOSPICE IN PROTEST TO JUDGE GREER'S RULING STATING HE WILL OVER RIDE FEDERAL SUBPOENA AND WILL REMOVE TERRI'S FEEDING TUBE IMMEDIATELY. FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT COME TO FLORIDA...PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATORS. PLEASE DO NOT STOP YOUR CALLS. ACTION BY THE PEOPLE MUST TAKE PLACE TO SAVE TERRI FROM JUDICIAL HOMICIDE. JUDGE GREER IS WRONG AND IS NOT LISTENING TO CONGRESS.Gee, how come none of the scads of court-appointed doctors, nurses and other health professionals that have seen Terri Schiavo over the past decade and a half have seen behavior like this? Could it have anything to do with the fact that the speech centers of her brain don't exist any more? CBS News last night showed picture scans of a normal brain and Terri's brain. Terri's is all shriveled up and most of the cranial space is filled with fluid from her spinal column. Her cerebrum -- the part where thought occurs -- is GONE. Period. Weller and Ford know this full well. Yet they keep pretending that Terri is sentient. Why? Because they know it's a lot harder to drum up opposition to pulling out Terri's tubes if everyone knows she's been brain-dead for fifteen years already Weller and Ford are lying creeps and should be disbarred.
