First, I want to call your attention to Rightwing Nuthouse’s piece, Celebrating Death.

What do you say to people who are celebrating the imminent death of a human being as a defeat for a political enemy?
Since Terri’s feeding tube was removed on Friday, I’ve been absolutely flabbergasted at the celebratory attitude taken by many on the left (not all; there are many liberals who support Terri’s fight) and the flippant comments in liberal discussion forums and in comments left here and other conservative sites about Terri’s condition.
Here are a few choice examples from the Democratic Underground:
Are Terri and Michael not on speaking terms? Have they been fighting? Alright, I think I’ll go scream now.
I think of some of the great hunger strikes throughout history like Bobby Sands being jailed as a political prisoner with the IRA and the Women Suffragists of the early 1900 and well, this Hunger Strike rates up there with that guy who lived in a box hanging over the river Thames for 30 days without any food.
Go ahead and starve yourself dumbass!!
And here’s one from Daily Kos:
Culture of life, my ass. Support bacteria. It’s the only culture some people have
There’s more…much more. But I just don’t have it in me today to get mad at these revelers in death whose comments on my own blog were so despicable, so vile that for the first time since I started my site, I had to delete some comments.
Image from Patriots for Bush
At Patriots for Bush is a piece called “The Party of Death”
Apparently this man thinks that Terri’s death will exact some measure of revenge against President Bush.
I think this one image represents all that is wrong with the American left in this day and age.
That sign says “freedom of medical choice”. Is that what this guy thinks is happening when Michael is allowed to murder his wife in full view of the nation with the court’s blessing?
And then this:
St. Francis Catholic worker Lana Jacobs (C) is arrested by Pinellas Park, Florida, police officers for trespassing. Jacobs attempted to take a bottle of water into the Woodside Hospice for the brain-damaged Terri Schiavo in Pinellas Park, Florida on March 22, 2005. Schiavo resides at the Hospice and had her feeding tube removed last Friday, March 18, 2005 by a court order. REUTERS/Rick Fowler
The war against Christianity and all believers continues unabated, and it looks as though decent people are going to be arrested now, since so many people are frustrated by the flagrant abuses of the Constitution and Florida law that protect Terri’s life.
