Whitewashing the Bloodsuckers

I've been too busy to post lately ... sorry, but the busy-ness is answered prayer ... so it took my friend Steve at Double Toothpicks to make me aware of the LATimes' whitewashing of the deathmerchant bloodsuckers who killed Terri Schiavo. No need to rewrite Steve, since he says it well:

And now, the LA Times lauds the conquering, selfless heroes who put Terri in the ground (or rather the urn). This is sickening to me. Despite the efforts of the mighty LA Times, I will never, never, never change my mind about euthanasia and bow down to their idol of "death with dignity". It is wrong. Always has been, always will be.

Here's the most galling quote in an article filled with galling quotes:

For at least a year and a half, whether Terri Schiavo's feeding tube should be disconnected and the woman be allowed to die became a battleground in America's culture wars, with lawyers and financial donors from conservative Christian, antiabortion and disability-rights organizations arrayed against attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union and advocates of the right of individuals to choose their medical treatment.

Was reporter John Thor-Dahlburg (what a progressive name!) in Mongolia for the entire Schiavo drama? Were his editors smoking pot and reading R. Crumb while Terri was in the news? Must have been! This was about denying medical treatment, not choosing medical treatment. Moreover, it was about denying that treatment for years, in order to ensure that no medical record could be built to argue against Terri's slow execution.
Notice that Thor-Dahlburg positions the supporters of Terri as "conservative Christian" and "anti-abortion," but does not similarly describe Michael's attorneys as "radical secularists" and "anti-life."

Sorry Thor, old boy, it's not going to work. You're schlepping for the Left in the great LAT tradition, pecking away at your keyboard while subscribers continue to desert in droves.
