I agree. On the Internet anyone can pretend they are someone else. We saw that on the Dateline exposure of child predators.

After seeing the long parade of factual mistakes in Schiavo's book, I went to Amazon dot com to see what they had to say about the writer, Michael Hirsh. They called him a "Peabody-award winning documentarian." That's funny! He should have gotten the Janet Cooke-Jayson Blair award for sloppy journalistic fraud.

Hirsh is a senior editor of Newsweek with four supposedly non-fiction books to his credit. If this is all the better he can do checking facts, he should abandon any pretense of reporting and try his hand at writing soap opera for afternoon TV.

More about Amazon. The reviews -- at least the ones that Amazon was willing to display -- were strongly pro-Michael. The true believers were out! Negative reviews in turn were down near zero in being "helpful" to readers.

However, a look at prices gives the opposite impression. The book was deeply discounted -- meaning it's not selling up to expectation. Some readers were trying to dump used copies for much less than even the discounted price -- meaning it's not a book that one would treasure and keep on one's library shelves (surprise).

Piece of junk.

This ending line from the premier troll-reviewer says it all!

If you don't like my review, get over it. Email me with nasty comments I and I will report you to your Internet provider for harassment.

I did see that line :-) If she had calmly been telling the truth, why would she worry about what anyone has to say? It's people with an agenda who aren't going to like the feedback.

Fortunately, the review was so syrupy, I couldn't stand to read much of it. I have to protect my delicate stomach.

That's what happens when everyone is lying, and didn't bother to rehearse their stories. Nothing meshes.

As for remembering dates, no comment :-/

I missed the other thread but it sounds like it was pulled almost immediately. It's astounding that there are people who are pro-death and so grossed out with the idea of healing people, They make no bones (pardon) about it.

The Tampa Tribune today re: the cancer drugs reports that there are new cancer treatments and doctors do not know because they are not mind readers if the patients is "near death" or not.

So, the hospice folks would rather just get to do their thing before the cancer docs finish doing theirs.

The exiters would rather use MORPHINE instead of CANCER DRUGS. We know the morphine kills every day, every hour but if new cancer drugs hold promise, they hospice ilk should mind their own beeswax.

We saw a Dr. Phil show about child predators that made us ill. He even stopped the tape. It had to do with undercover cops, and what they have to do to bust these inhuman creeps. After stopping the surveilence tape, Dr. Phil asked the detective if it was hard not to reach across the table(he met the creep at a restaurant), and knock his teeth out.

Las Vegas police felt they couldn't wait, so they busted the man before the FBI was ready to move in. I may have trouble remembering numbers, but I'll never forget what was said between the cop and that scumball.

Montel Williams has had some pretty harsh programs on the subject, as well.

Terri newsfeed here: http://www.conservative-spirit.org/index.html

(Topix net presents both sides but the other side always omits that laws were broken at the local level before Terri's life or death reached the federal level.) The first article never addresses Terri's Civil Rights.

They are only correct in asserting that the fight was by her parents.

Remember that Terri was never represented by her own counsel which is a violation of her due process rights.

WHILE HE WAS BREAKING THE LAW, JUDGE GREER ALSO VIOLATED THE LAW THAT A JUDGE CANNOT ACT AS A PERSON'S GUARDIAN UNLESS THEY ARE RELATED TO THAT WARD. Oops, Judge Greer has violated more laws and canons than ANY OTHER JUDGE IN AMERIKA. Why isn't he impeached YESTERDAY? (caps off).

Judge Greer has blatantly broken one law after another. We need protection from these rogue judges. We are fast becoming a krytocracy.

Here is the "dramatic" lead of the linked article:

>> ATLANTA - Doctors are reporting a disturbing rise in the number of cancer patients getting chemo and other aggressive but futile treatment in the last days of their lives.

The "disturbing rise" is from 10% to 12% of cancer patients. That is merely one more patient out of fifty. This is a statistical molehill, not a story. If you look from the other side, here is the story: the number of cancer patients who did not get this "futile" treatment dropped from 45 out of 50 to 44 out of 50. Pretty dramatic, eh? Furthermore, the alleged "futility" of the chemo was not known to the doctors but discovered only by looking at death records later. Pure hindsight.

The writer's opinion that this is "disturbing" in the very first paragraph announces that he is preaching, not reporting. And, of course, his sermon follows the Death Cult party line. This is -- we see every day -- the rule at Associated Press, so we cannot expect any better from them and their ilk. Still, it's a shame that none of them has the integrity to be a journalist.

While we're on the subject of journalists, one is reminded of this bit of wickedly witty doggerel from perhaps a century ago by (I believe) Humbert Wolfe; sometimes attributed to Hilaire Belloc. It doesn't seem to matter what country or what era, journalists are about as believable as lawyers and used car salesmen...

You cannot hope to bribe or twist

Aw, don't be hard on them. They don't know any better. Moonbats become moonbats by believing people who DO know better and who lie for profit or for subversive purposes (or both). The supreme Lie-Master in Terri's case was, by a wide margin, George Felos.

Death becomes him. He is now a true expert in what happens when one crosses the line. Only problem now is getting his opinion. I am sure the death gang is trying to channel him already. Seems the only news regarding Terri today on slow news day Sunday is the weepy eulogies about poor Dr. Death, and the MSM has plenty of them. Here is one from the Cleveland Plain Dealer salted with the more preposterous lies, shouted loud enough to make them truth.

I am surprised the resident death culture trolls haven't started their own memorial thread. Still, I must wish he repented at the last as Our Lord, not we, makes the final judgment.

Schiavo suffered a heart attack in 1990 and her breathing stopped for several minutes, resulting in brain damage. In 1998, her husband, Michael Schiavo, petitioned a state court to allow the removal of her feeding tube.

Dr. Ronald Cranford, was expert witness in Schiavo case

Hahaha! And I hope they succeed :-)

I don't think it will work :-) Lies do not turn into truth at 121 decibels. How could this moron write that Terri had had a heart attack? That was known not to be true back at the ER in 1990.

Oh, wait a minute. Didn't Ted Bundy's 100+ victims all have heart attacks?
