The conservatives of the AM dial are trying to find liberals to blame for the plight of Terri Schiavo, but everywhere they focus their rage they find fellow conservatives.
Daniel Ruth column in the Tampa Bay Tribune - Blame It On Those Liberal Republicans???
It's been a rough few days for the right-wing pandering chattering class - such a tragic tale and nary a liberal in sight to blame.
This is like Roy Rogers without Trigger, Laurel without Hardy, Bill O'Reilly without his loofah.
Just flipped on Rush Limbaugh for a few moments. He was in full Defcon 1 Harrumph, flopping around like Curly begging ``Moe! Larry! Cheese!'' in trying to find a culprit to blame for the plight of Terri Schiavo.
The judiciary seems to be the target du jour for the Axis of Weasels - Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and their assorted spear carriers of the airwaves, even though their heart really doesn't seem to want to rise to foaming fulmination.
Poor things. If only Michael Schiavo would admit publicly he voted for Bill Clinton, maybe they would feel better.
Vigilantes of the AM dial: Blame the "Liberal" Judges!
After all, when you spend your waking hours blaming all of society's ills on liberal, liberal, liberal commie pinkos like Jane Fonda, Charles Schumer, Barbara Boxer and that Tokyo Rose of the left, Hillary Clinton, consider how Terri Schiavo has bollixed the rhetorical Abu Ghraib of talk radio.
Imagine the funk Michael Savage, who is to talk radio what Saddam Hussein was to crowd control, must be in.
After it refused to hear appeals by the parents of Terri Schiavo, Bob and Mary Schindler, five - count 'em, five - times, how do you work up enough indignation to accuse the U.S. Supreme Court (that cabal of socialists) of being populated by ``activist'' judges?
William Rehnquist? Antonin Scalia? Clarence Thomas? Sandra Day O'Connor? Anthony Kennedy? David Souter? John Paul Stevens? All Republican appointees.
Vigilantes of the AM dial: Damn, we can not blame Rehnquist, Scalia, and Thomas!
Vigilantes of the AM dial: Who can we blame next? Let go after Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court Judge George Greer.
And then there is the attempt to portray Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court Judge George Greer, who has presided over the Schiavo case for the past seven years, as a graduate of the University of Satan School of Law, Moscow campus.
Sorry, Greer is not only a card- carrying conservative Republican, but he also is a devout Baptist.
Vigilantes of the AM dial: Damn, Judge Greer did not drink the kool-aid.
Vigilantes of the AM dial: Lets go after the "Liberals" in congress!
And lastly, when the Florida Senate voted 21-18 a few days ago to defeat a feeding tube measure, such noted Republican left-wingers as Nancy Argenziano, Mike Bennett, Paula Dockery and Jim King were among those Trotskyites voting ``nay.''
Just fathom the pickle the Yada Yada Yada Blah Blah Blah Viceroys of the Airwaves must feel to have such a juicy topic like Terri Schiavo to chew on only to discover just as many conservative Republicans are in favor of pulling the poor woman's feeding tube as the usual suspects of The New York Times meets the Kennedy compound?
Poor dears. If only it could be revealed that Terri Schiavo once dated John Kerry, maybe the Father Coughlin radio community would have its own reason to live.
Vigilantes of the AM dial: Damn, Lets appoint new Judges and give Governor and the President more power to save Terri Schiavo!
Axis of Sleazos on the AM dial will always find some one to blame.
Therein can be found the crisis the Axis of Sleazos found themselves in trying to stir up their legions of dittohead lemmings - they were forced to think for a change and run the daunting risk of actually stumbling upon an original concept that didn't have an ideological label attached to it.
The tragedy of Terri Schiavo's life and death isn't Republican or Democratic, liberal or conservative, right or left.
Judges, good, honest, dedicated people like George Greer, James Whittemore and others have ruled on this case based on the law, not the editorial pages, or the partisan think tanks, or the P.T. Barnums of the Bible, or the delusional ramblings of the talk radio Borgias.
But then again, to the vigilantes of the AM dial and the Fellinis of Revelations, the Schiavo Sturm und Drang has never been about the law, or the truth, or even a dying woman's last wishes.
Vigilantes of the AM dial: There is only our rule of law and the truth is determined by us!
