Normally enough, news of the day is replete with articles from the left dealing with Terri's Legacy and pushing the mantras. Much of it is in the form of "art" their theater:

GO: “Coma” follows four individuals who experienced a traumatic brain injury. What was your objective in making this film?

LG: When Terri Schiavo’s case was really captivating America, it was clear that this was an issue that people felt very deeply about and that they got their morality mixed up in, despite actually understanding very little. What if we could be a fly on the wall and see what the families were really going through? No matter what you feel about the issue you have empathy for those families. That was the birth of the idea.

GO: In “Coma,” you follow the patients’ rehabilitation over the course of a year. How do they afford long-term care?

LG: After private insurance cuts patients off, they declare bankruptcy and are picked up by Medicaid. That way, the state will provide the money for rehab. I’m not a believer that they should rehab someone for years and years and use all the taxpayer dollars beyond a certain point. But I do believe at least that the first year after injury is a time that can determine the difference between enabling someone to have some quality of life versus simply languishing forever.

More "art". They love the stuff.

The Flea Theater will present America LoveSexDeath, created and performed by the internationally acclaimed Billy The Mime, beginning performances August 23rd for a limited engagement. The production will be the first play of The Flea’s 2007 – ‘08 season. Opening night is set for September 6th.

"Billy The Mime garnered international attention with his show-stopping appearance in the hit documentary The Aristocrats. Billy has rejuvenated an art form that has been justly ridiculed due to untrained and amateur practitioners, and he has restored its ability to entertain, amuse, shock, and move an audience," state press notes. The play will tackle controversial subject matter with such routines as “JFK JR. We Hardly Knew Ye,” “Close To Her: Karen Carpenter,” “Slave!,” “World War II,” “Thomas & Sally: A Night at Monticello,” “The Priest and The Altar Boy,” “The Abortion,” “Terry Schiavo, Adieu,” “A Night in San Francisco - 1979,” “A Day Called 9/11,” “Kurt Cobain: Why?,” “Christopher Reeve: A Super Man,” “Love & Death: OJ and Nicole,” “A Night with Jeffrey Dahmer” and “Virginia Tech 4/16/07.”

>> they got their morality mixed up in, despite actually understanding very little.

This little leftist princess dares to preach morality? Her only ethic is socialism. She was so obnoxious that one of her subjects tried to punch her camera.

She's just as obnoxious and condescending in print.

Those who wanted Terri to die this horrible death and even attack those who so much as uttered a word in her defense merely reveal themselves as sadists.
