SCHIAVO
* " The parents of brain-damaged Terri Schiavo were joined by prominent civil rights campaigner the Rev. Jesse Jackson" he even went on hannity. good grief. LINK

* read krug (as usual): "America isn't yet a place where liberal politicians, and even conservatives who aren't sufficiently hard-line, fear assassination. But unless moderates take a stand against the growing power of domestic extremists, it can happen here."
and he mentions the trooper showdown in FL. which had hitherto been sooshed. krug is always #1 on the nyt most-emailed list. (update - oreilly fronts with slamming krug - quoting extensively from the article! sweet. they must be getting very nervous - they seem to be trying to get ahead of it) LINK

* alancolmes interviews 2 people from the 'other side' on the schiavo thing. one of chick's shirt says RevolutionaryCommunistYouthBrigade - (actually as im writing this, Hannity actually asks her what her shirt reads. subtle. )

* " In related news Jerry Falwell is in the hospital again with viral pneumonia. Jerry has chosen a ventilator as his first line of defense and plans on using prayer only as a backup." the rest is even funnier... LINK

* abug torturer gets teary outside schiavos hospice. go read billmon. LINK

* terrischiavo really should have chosen better parents

* "But of course the delicate question is how the Democrats use the glazed eyes of Terri Schiavo against the Republicans. And, as with most matters political, the Rude Pundit has the ready, easy solution: it's all about the inference of language. If a Democrat is up against a Schiavo Republican (and, good, wise, vaguely left pundits everywhere should start calling the wacked-out, ultra-Christian Republicans by this nom de guerre), don't bring out Schiavo's corpse. Instead, just say that you support the government staying out of "the most intimate decisions a person" (or "family") "can make." Or some such shit. You see what that does? It evokes Schiavo without saying her name and, frankly, it also covers things like abortion rights, gay rights, and more. If the Schiavo Republican wants to question you about it, then you have free rein to bring up Schiavo." LINK
Schiavo Republican. Schiavo Republican. Schiavo Republican. Schiavo Republican. Schiavo Republican. Schiavo Republican. Schiavo Republican. Schiavo Republican. Schiavo Republican.
