Considering how much ANY noise could sound like 'yeah' this is a bit like proving a dog can say 'roof'
Well they've at least learned that "I want to liiive! Live!" doesn't buy a lot of believers, so now they're sticking with 'bleeeaaaaa'='yeaaah'
"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia

Is that what it sounds like? Bleaaaaaaaaaahhhh?

Pathetic.

A decade of fucking litigation is wrong, and Fox News just broke the tape that PROVES that T Schiavo is not in a PVS. My fucking ass ...

Many years ago, I saw a T-Shirt saying 'God is my drug'.

And now, little by little, as the FundieHorde reverses everything sane and right, it starts to make perfect sense.

Some of the comments on that blog are hilarious:

Pray for redemtion LIEberals.
I like the second one. Maybe us rational progressive people should take a page out of the fundy's book and take it one step further by conducting a propaganda campaing with posts all over the net which will make real fundies look sane by comparison. Maybe we could manufacture a backlash against fundies by creating an even bigger myth about them which would give them a really bad reputation. Somewhat similar to what the conservatives have done to make the word "liberal" into an insult.

The snippets the media keeps running are from a four-and-a-half-hour long video that was made back during the court rulings several years ago. The entire thing was shown as evidence, and it was found to be no different from other PVS victims.

Hence, the bits spliced together are nothing more than purposefully misrepresenting propaganda.

I can't breathe for laughter. This just crossed the border into the Zone Where Ordinary Things Don't Happen. How the hell am I even supposed to be offended by this anymore? It's impossible.

That settles it. I'm switching to Matrix philosophy. The Machines are playing silly buggers with us and attempting to see how much fucked up bullshit we can swallow.

Schiavo dies 14 days after tube removed
Death comes after courts repeatedly ruled against parents

BREAKING NEWS
MSNBC staff and news service reports
Updated: 9:59 a.m. ET March 31, 2005


PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - Fourteen days after a court ordered her feeding tube removed, and after multiple attempts by her parents to get the order lifted, Terri Schiavo passed away on Thursday.

The family battle over whether to keep her alive galvanized the nation.

The case had spent seven years winding its way through the courts, with the parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, repeatedly on the losing end.

The nation’s high court on Wednesday declined to intervene for the sixth time. Hours earlier in an 9-2 ruling, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta declined to grant a new hearing in the case — the fourth time since last week that it ruled against the Schindlers.


Judge critical of Bush, Congress
One of the appeals court judges rebuked the White House and lawmakers Wednesday for acting “in a manner demonstrably at odds with our Founding Fathers’ blueprint for the governance of a free people — our Constitution.”

“Any further action by our court or the district court would be improper,” wrote Judge Stanley Birch Jr., appointed by President Bush’s father.

Federal courts were given jurisdiction to review Schiavo’s case after Republicans in Congress pushed through unprecedented emergency legislation aimed at prolonging her life. But federal courts at three levels have rebuffed her parents.

The Schindlers had asked the 11th Circuit and the Supreme Court to order the reinsertion of their daughter’s feeding tube immediately so a federal district court can review the case from its beginning, including whether there was enough “clear and convincing” evidence that she would have chosen to die in her current condition.

The Schindlers’ motion included arguments that the 11th Circuit in its earlier rulings did not consider whether there was enough evidence that Terri Schiavo would have chosen to die.

But appeals court judges Gerald Tjoflat and Charles Wilson, the same two judges who also issued dissenting opinions last week when the full court considered the case for the first time, said the harried pace of appeals made it impossible to determine if state courts properly considered the evidence.

The two dissenters said Wednesday “it is fully within Congress’s power to dictate standards of review” for federal courts. “Indeed, if Congress cannot do so, the fate of hundreds of federal statutes would be called into question.”

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Oh, this is most definitely NOT over, not by a long-chalk. Terri Schiavo will become the poster-child for the GOP's "Culture of Life" propaganda for 2006. Bank on it.

Might as well, he's the only one involved that seemed to have any morals, ethics or common sense, despite the shit-slinging slander attempts of the FoxNews network to say otherwise.

You know, the rightists will definately try something 'drastic' now.

I hope everyone who sided against the Schindlers gets some police protection, because those psychos will be coming after them in legions.

This is really just the begining of a long, long trail of shit from the right.
