Proving that Mehitable Storm is an equal opportunity gadfly, I have now been banned from posting on both Free Republic and Daily Kos. Now how, you may ask, was I banned from such a bastion of free speech as Daily Kos? Well, I dared to tell Michael Schiavo - yes, THAT Michael Schiavo - that he killed his wife and should rot in hell. Perhaps an indelicate thing to say, but - I believe it. Next thing I know, I'm being flamed and I can't answer back.

So I wrote an email to the DK people asking them what the hell freedom of speech was to them and how they differ from Free Republic.

This just makes me appreciate "4" all the more :)

Well, I dared to tell Michael Schiavo - yes, THAT Michael Schiavo - that he killed his wife and should rot in hell. Perhaps an indelicate thing to say, but - I believe it.

Look guy, Terri was already dead. Calling her husband who loved her a murderer is totally over the line. I have asked my daughter to have the plug pulled if I am braindead, and Terri was braindead. The autopsy proved it. Even the right wing thugs are running away from this, and the Repukes are going to get killed in Florida for this farce.

Wanna get banned here, probably the most open-minded forum on the web (apart from Flintlock, that crazy old coot)? Start saying that we are traitors who don't worship at the feet of the great bush.

If you keep throwing discredited crap at people, they WILL ban you. Terri was dead. Get used to it. The autopsy proved it and even that moron Bush backed off.

Nonsense Mekons, I don't think anyone has been banned here. If it has ever happened, it's EXTREMELY rare. You're proof of that. Why haven't YOU been banned yet? You disagree with most of us on a lot of things. Not that I think you should be banned - I don't.

As for Terri Schiavo, you obviously don't know anything about the case. Nor have you read my prior remarks earlier in this thread. As I say - there are 2 issues in this case. The first is what to do with vegetative people. We can discuss or argue this issue and reasonable people can disagree.

The second issue is Michael Schiavo and his behavior. I believe firmly that his wife's condition resulted from something Schiavo did that night she collapsed. There is NO other explanation for her collapse. Nothing that sounds remotely reasonable. Moreover, once he finally received the settlement money for Terri, he stopped allowing her to have any kind of treatment even to the most innocent and benign things. He tormented her family by not allowing them access to Terri. In fact, the tormented them right to the end. He was seen by more than one nurse at the facility doing and saying highly suspicious things. What kind of loving husband visits his invalided wife and rages publicly about "that bitch" not being dead yet. Very nice.

As for Terri's end - I hope you never have to go through the agony of having all water and sustenance withheld from you for two weeks so you die of thirst. It's a horrible death and something only a truly evil person could even contemplate. If you approve of this, then you must be like Schiavo. It's one thing to pull a plug, it's another to dehydrate a living being for two weeks. If you did that to a dog, you would be put in jail.

Michael Schiavo is a total piece of shit. He is a profoundly evil and vile person and I"m glad I got the opportunity to tell him what I think of him. I only wish I could have done it to his filthy face. I believe he is a wife abuser and ultimately a wife killer. And I have no patience with the weak minded morons who try to sanctify this creature.

You are the one who doesn't know about the case. Show me a link other than to some wingnut site that says he called her a bitch. And even if he did beat her to death, which is absolutely untrue, she had a stroke, what does that have to do with keeping a vegetable alive? I want to be let go if I'm EVER in that shape, and the disgraceful conduct of Frist and Bush and the rest, knowing nothing, who turned this into a circus is a total embarassment.

Do you seriously think an alligator brain is reason to live? That's all she had. Period.

I repeat. You obviously know nothing about the case. It's far more complicated than your simple statements. You can deny whatever you want on Schiavo's behalf, it doesn't matter. The evidence is out there for whomever wants to investigate.

That said, the problem with this issue is that it is TWO ISSUES. The Schiavo case was the worst possible case for discussing the issue of how to handle vegetative people as it is such a complicated case with such an unsavoury taint to it because of Michael Schiavo. It's one thing to talk about someone who has been in a car accident or had an obvious stroke and is only being held to life with a machine. I don't have any problem myself with unplugging that person. It's another thing when you have a man under serious suspicion - and who openly lied on the witness stand about his behavior the night of Terri's collapse - of harming his wife and creating this situation in the FIRST PLACE. Then you have the issue of the money and what was done with it. Then you have the debate about Terri's condition over the course of years and what kind of treatment she could have received or was denied. Then you have the fight between the husband and the family. Then you have the statements of nursing personnel at the home about Schiavo's words and behavior. Then you have the behavior of his lawyer and Florida officials involved in the case and whether there was a variety of conflicts of interest. Yet again, you have the obviously tainted motive of Schiavo who has what amounted to a new wife and children. On top of that you have the horrible death of Terri that he brought about.

This is not a simple, clear cut case. It is anything BUT THAT. Schiavo is the worst possible representative that anyone could pick for the concept of not continuing a vegetative life, or unplugging a comatose person. And that is the problem - it's not just the base issue. It's Schiavo himself - specifically.
