Opposing lawyers share thoughts on Schiavo case

The only issue that David Gibbs can ever remember Jesse Jackson and Rush Limbaugh agreeing on was the fact that Terri Schiavo should remain alive.

...

Gibbs called removing Schiavo's feeding tube "barbaric and uncivilized." Florida law does not allow the starvation of animals and the constitution does not allow the starvation of convicted murderers, he said.

...

Felos said faith-based organizations, religious leaders, priests and rabbis distorted the facts in the Schiavo case.

Jim King's "mishandling" of campaign funds goes back a number of years. He should get the boot from the GOP of Florida. Between King and Greer, the GOP is losing their stature.

Death Attorney George Felos Criticizes Courts

Euthanasia Attorney George Felos Blames Courts for Prolonging Terri's Case.

Mr. Felos said the courts recognized that the parents of Ms. Schiavo had no real chance of prevailing on the merits of the case but allowed the law to be stretched so they could endlessly litigate issues, opening the door for Congress to intervene.

"The inability to end this case when the rule of law required it to end led to a perception in the other branches of government that something was wrong," he said.

George Felos' book reveals the sick thought process of the attorney who murdered Terri Schiavo

Felos wrote, "If our minds can conceive of an uplifting Holocaust, can it be so diffucult to look another way at the slights and injuries and abuses we perceive were inflicted upon us?"

Felos wrote about his anger towards his ex-wife, "I was on fire, fueled by thoughts of bludgeoning and tearing her apart."

You must be aware you fit a profile we have seen ad naseum before. You came on as a poster very recently, dwell on this issue on this thread and the dirty laundry thread and add nothing except tired mantras repeated before, as taunts.

This tells me you came not as you pretend, but with an agenda to disrupt us.

I say you have an agenda to disrupt us. What say you?

Halls, I meant to ping you, but pinged another by mistake. Sorry, Hal L.

[floriduh voter]

8mm, all they can spew is prove it, prove it, prove it. I can prove that Terri was murdered by a whole bunch of people who were beholding to other bunches of people and some good guys turned bad.

Murder is a sin and is against the law. I don't have to prove what is already law. They broke numerous laws for years.

When they neglected and abused Terri numerous times ending in her death, they proved it themselves.

This country sunk to a new low. What a pitiful, inexcusable, unnecessary, cruel, dark, day March 31, 2005 was. How dare they???????????? It was murder.

[Halls]

that is ok, I think you did ping me but I wanted to bookmark for later reading.

FLORIDA WILL BE THE STARVATION STATE until we get responsible leaders.

I say that you have mistaken me entirely. I pretend nothing; I have no agenda. Do you consider civil debate to be disruptive?

I saw a thread on an issue which interests me. I entered the discussion, asking questions and offering information of my own. I participate on many message boards. On none of them save this one have I encountered refusal to cite sources, deliberate distortion of issues, and the willful mistaking of debate for disruption.

I had hoped for an opportunity to exchange ideas. Are you saying there is no such opportunity to be had here?

Peace to you all,
Clyffe

They do not and cannot hear because they don't have their ears on.

WILMA UPDATE: It's 9:35 pm est in Tampa Bay, it's dark and the crickets are making noise in the trees. There's a little breeze but that's about it. They say we will get hit by Wilma on Monday during daylight which is fine by me. I hope she's down to a tropical storm by Monday, I don't even want a Category 1. I think I have hurricane fatigue just thinking about 'em. All fatigue, no panic.

[8mmMauser]

You came on to this topic. I do not see you elsewhere on Freerepublic. You couch your taunts in "debate". If you really wanted to learn you would have poured over the huge volume of facts and data floated on these many threads and would have understood you are simply repeating what was heard before and asking questions which have been asked before. If you are sincere, try boning up on the topic first.

And now you are playing word games with folks who have seen them all. Try something new.

[Lovergirl]

Stay safe, FV. Will be praying for all in Wilmas path.

[8mmMauser]

It is so close to Halloween watch out for critters sailing in the high winds when they come, and take good cover.

You must realize that it's not possible to provide evidence and names here. Terri's files were over 22 volumes and horror stories about the death care system in Pinellas County are being documented but not by me personally.

Pinellas County-Tampa Bay looks great from the outside and the beaches are highly rated but, it's ground zero for proponents of forced exits and assisted suicide.

There is no trust or confidence in the judiciary here. It's a farce. What more do you need to know?

The Republican Party is in trouble as well. That's no secret either. The faux republicans are destroying the RNC. It's a good thing the democrats are really stupid so it's going to be neck and neck next year.

You read my mind....

[floriduh voter]

Look familiar??? only not pale enough. I've seen the ghouls in court.

[floriduh voter]

What an ugly grin that is. He doesn't smile very often - when he does, it looks really unnatural. It almost looks photoshopped.

Yes, I came onto this thread; that is what I said above. This, and the "Dirty Laundry" thread are the ones which interest me. I have, in fact, read quite a lot of the information and misinformation that has been posted on FR about this topic; I have also thoroughly familiarized myself with the facts of the Terri Schiavo matter through objective, nonpartisan sources. When I see references to aborting adults and involuntary euthanasia and nursing home residents having their forks and spoons taken away, I am fascinated. The last thing I do is play word games, as I have a very literal mind. I try to write clearly, and when I don't understand something another has written, I ask for clarification. It is pro forma on most message boards to cite sources when requested to do so; indeed, on most other FR threads it seems to be expected, as well. Therefore, I did not view this as an unreasonable or disruptive request.

Finally, I would add that, though I have indeed seen similar questions to mine asked here in the past, I have never seen any satisfactory answers. Why is that, do you suppose?

So let me once again state that I have no agenda. I am not threatened by people who disagree with me; I sincerely hope that all of you will no longer feel threatened by any views of mine which are different from your own.

Peace to you,
Clyffe
