When Talking Points Run Amok
In a visit to the Air America Radio site after reading this story (humorous, to say the least...though I'm leery of stories on Drudge until I actually see them elsewhere) about an upcoming behind-the-scenes HBO documentary on the radio network, I stumbled upon this post.
It's Not About Terri Schiavo
Laura Flanders tells us what this circus is really about: The life of our GOP-ruled Congress; Political posturing for Christian voters; Performing compassion when the administration is "only-and-all about profits;" Tom Delay attempting to cover up his corruption; Diverting attention from Iraq; Sending Americans out to war to kill and be killed while making a spectacle of a brain-dead woman to promote the GOP "culture of life" facade. "Plastic pathos, sure, and for-profit compassion there's plenty -- but, actual honest-to-your-god empathy? You tell me."
Are you sure, Laura? Couldn't the whole case simply be about the fact that nobody has proof that she actually wanted to die -- and nothing more than that? Or are you just desperately trying to fill air time?
Jeesh. And everybody ELSE is overreacting? Uh Huh.
