The last desperate measure

March 24, 2005 2:21 PM

Delay finally does it. Opponents of the House Majority "Leader" have been accusing him of using the Schiavo case to deflect ethics heat off of him. Here, in a speech to the Family Research Council, he all but admits that this is his intent: "This is exactly the kind of issue that's going on in America, that attacks against the conservative moment, against me and against many others. The point is, the other side has figured out how to win and to defeat the conservative movement, and that is to go after people personally..." Even Schiavo's parents need to disown this bum.

Always pretend you're under attack from moral heathens, even when you aren't. It's a standard maneuver in the conservative playbook.

The use of "scare quotes" in this "FPP" is great.

Not sure how this speech really shows his true intent any more than any other speech he's ever given. Hardly the smoking gun.

Remember when words like conservative and liberal had real meanings?

Ah, the good old days.

Dude, Schiavo's parents currently have a known domestic terrorist as their family spokesman...

Huh?

That Americans would be so barbaric as to pull a feeding tube out of a person that is lucid and starve them to death for two weeks. I mean, in America that's going to happen if we don't win this fight

Uh, I think someone needs to tell him what lucid means.

XQUZYPHYR, what are you talking about with this domestic terrorist stuff?
