NewsHounds: Special Ops for TS
http://www.newshounds.us/2005/03/29/special_ops_for_terri_schiavo.php#more

from the blog:

As Alan Colmes noted last night, some people have gotten so riled up by Terri Schiavo's case that they are willing to drop everything in order to go to Florida, go on hunger strikes, and stand vigil outside the hospice where she lies in a persistent vegetative state. Colmes' guest in the first hour of his radio show last night was a perfect example - former Green Beret Commander Bo Gritz (of Ruby Ridge fame) who flew to Florida in order to serve Michael Schiavo and Judge Greer (who allowed Michael to remove his wife's feeding tube) with a citizen's arrest. When that didn't pan out, Gritz got himself arrested in the hopes he would have a run-in with Michael Schiavo, who works as a nurse at the county jail, and perhaps appear before Judge Greer. According to an email from Gritz to Colmes' producer, Gritz hoped to place Michael Schiavo "in the same condition as Terri."

1. Sounds like Gritz should be locked up. He is a danger.

3. Here's the part where I show the fundie depths from which I crawled...
At one time I was so religious-right that I actually VOTED for this putz because George Bush Sr. wasn't right-wing enough for me.

Christ, I'm so ashamed!

Isn't there a no-fly list for terrorists?

8. and he probably will claim post traumatic(sp?) stress syndrome
and get some time in a va mental hospital for a couple of months and then released......my dad was diagnosed with that when he came back from the 1st gulf war and he pretty much gets away with anything be claiming this disorder, he even went in to a va hosp and tore the waiting room up broke some windows and they did nothing......I know murder is different but I don't put anything pass this admin

10. They are climbing out of the woodwork and into the limelight...
I don't think the realize or care that they are pushing more people to consider them fringe - and over time that will reverse the gains of the religious right which they are aligned with.
