Tom Delay Msg To A Religious Org, On this Schiavo Mess:
Edited on Tue Mar-22-05 09:06 AM by Jon8503
Snippet From: The New York Times Today

"One thing that God has brought to us is Terri Schiavo, to help elevate the visibility of what is going on in America," Mr. DeLay told a conference organized by the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian group. A recording of the event was provided by the advocacy organization Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

"This is exactly the issue that is going on in America, of attacks against the conservative movement, against me and against many others," Mr. DeLay said.

Mr. DeLay complained that "the other side" had figured out how "to defeat the conservative movement," by waging personal attacks, linking with liberal organizations and persuading the national news media to report the story. He charged that "the whole syndicate" was "a huge nationwide concerted effort to destroy everything we believe in."

5. It's all about the Bugman ...
and remember, just because your paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

16. DeLay thinks like a wife beater
Typical wife-beater mentality. DeLay once again plays the victim while at the same time, blames the real victims for his own crimes.

STP to DeLay--you brought this mess all upon yourself, so be a man and admit you're a criminal SNAKE!!

3. Yeah, funny how Delay sees this whole affair as being based on
attacks against him. Sounds pretty paranoid to me. Guess he inhaled too much bug spray when he was an exterminator and has some brain damage of his own.

6. This is what they do
They twist and reshape reality. They accuse the other side of doing the exact thing they did and they take their weaknesses and reflect them onto the opposition.

I am amazed that it continues to work.

7. From the Family Research Council site.....
The Family Research Council (FRC) champions marriage and family as the foundation of civilization, the seedbed of virtue, and the wellspring of society. FRC shapes public debate and formulates public policy that values human life and upholds the institutions of marriage and the family. Believing that God is the author of life, liberty, and the family, FRC promotes the Judeo-Christian worldview as the basis for a just, free, and stable society.

www.frc.org/get.cfm?c=HISTORY_ABOUT

And here's what People for the American Way have to say about the FRC: www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/default.aspx?oid=4211

I don't really feel up to posting a clip from PFAW; they have a lot to say & it's all bad. (Reminds self to make a contribution.)

We're on the right track! Keep it coming!

Edit: Maybe that should be "left" track. :)

13. It's because he made his living as an exterminator
before he became an illustrious politician.

15. Unlike Bush Jr, DeLay once had an actual job.
He was an exterminator. And probably breathed in a lot of toxins, given the state of his mind.

It's definitely a counterattack!

18. This is why he's been so visible in the Schiavo case....He's hoping
that by pandering to the religiholics, they will in turn save him from the coming indictments. Prayer...the last refuge of a scoundrel.
