Then why are you accusing me of "making retarded jokes"?
Oh, I know -- you are insane.

The use of the word "vegetable" is pejorative.

No, it's not. She was in "a persistent vegetative state." "Vegetable" is a common shorthand for that.
"Veggie" or "carrot" are pejorative and insulting, and when used just to piss you off, as I've been doing, perfectly appropriate.

This is not relevant to your mocking of her and neither is who I care or don't care about or my religion or lack thereof.

I'm not mocking Terry Schiavo, but wouldn't that be the least of her worries?

I am not a practising Christian but I don't mock their beliefs.

Nor do I. Those who carried torches for her, like you, did a fine job of mocking themselves.

Your attempt to use the word pejoratively,

Wrong again (but you are consistent). I call you a Christian because I know you aren't. And I know that it pisses you off -- whether because you are ashamed by your non-Christian life and conduct, or ashamed to think that your views align with the religious right, I'm not sure, but it's not really my concern.

I'll alert my campaign manager right away. He'll appreciate having the next few years off.

As for the husband, I think it was a he said, she said (the she being Terri's parents and siblings and friends).

And then the court said.

I would err on the side of life without corroborating evidence.

What life? She had zero chance of ever recovering even a minimal level of consciousness. She was dead but for our technical ability to ram nutrients into her.
But I'm just a murderer, evil, blah blah blah blah blah. We know the drill.

Maybe someday if one of your kids is murdered by the state at the behest of her "husband", who is living with another wife and family, you will feel differently.

Ooooh, good one. Put husband in quotes. After all, he's really a cold, callous murderer. I suppose it was his moral obligation to remain at her bedside for a few decades until Bill Frist mdae a different tele-diagnosis.
