TVC: 80% Of Public Just Like Hitler
Think Congress should have stayed out of the Terri Schiavo case? According to the Traditional Values Coalition (TVC), you’re just like Hitler. Here’s an excerpt from one of TVC’s recent press releases, entitled, “Hitler Targeted The Handicapped First”:
The roots of Hitler’s euthanasia program began in 1920 with the publishing of an essay by Dr. Alfred Hoche and law professor Karl Binding. The essay, “Releasing Persons from Lives Devoid of Value,” recommended a new medical ethic to deal with mental patients and those whose lives were considered worthless.
According to Hoche and Binding, useless individuals were to be killed to save money and to release them from the perceived miseries of living a life devoid of value.
Hoche introduced the concept of “mental death” to describe the retarded or those who suffered from other forms of brain damage (much like Terri Schiavo’s condition). He described these people as “‘human ballast” and said that killing them would be useful and allowable act under the law.
The release goes on to detail how “doomed patients,” including “handicapped infants and small children,” were exterminated in concentration camps and gas chambers.
The 80 percent of Americans who think the Court’s decision on Schiavo should be allowed to stand: TVC is talking to you.

Can I be Goebbels?? Oh, please, please, please – let me be Goebbels!
March 25th, 2005 at 11:48 amOr, he could be referring to Bush and his 1999 Texas law…
March 25th, 2005 at 12:04 pmThere is a major problem with that statement, in the fact that the government was empowered to kill individuals that were disabled, etc. The power was not in the hands of the family.
The only law that puts corporations or government in control of someones life is the one that was signed by Bush in Texas, that allows the hospital to pull the plug on someone that has no chance of improvement.
Therefore, it is my opinion that Bush’s Texas law is closer to the description, and that because this is the choice of the family and the individual, this is quite a bit separated from what the Nazis did.
Man, some people just tick me off.
March 25th, 2005 at 12:58 pmDoes the Schiavo tragedy show that the conservative movement is approaching a meltdown?
Maybe not, but the yawning chasm between economic and social conservatives, dormant for two presidential elections is reemerging and with it, a serious threat to the Republicans’ majority status.

March 25th, 2005 at 2:05 pmAlso it failed to mention all those laws where in governments selectively choose to kill people for their inability to have enough money to prevent themselves from being prosecuted and convicted of capital crimes; or when they are not US citizens, under US military control and just happen to end up dead at the end of the day in various detention facilities although they were never charged with crimes; or when CIA supported death squads acting in the interests of US corporations kill US and foreign citizens in order to enact regimes more friendly to our imperialism. But those are okay, right? TVC is only worried about a person here and there.
March 25th, 2005 at 3:41 pmAs a wheelchair/homebound individual, I fear the current right-wing lunatics because of their perversions of history. I’m tired of watching a bunch of practicing fascists compare dissenters to Nazis.
March 25th, 2005 at 5:05 pmBecause of current Medicare/Medicade reductions, I maybe forced into poverty simply to deter further deterioration. I may be denied medications that supress my pain because of “addiction” fears, and when I really want to check out, I may be denied that choice because of a bunch of fanatics are using the government to advance a particular narrow religious view. If forcing government control over my life and forced adherence to a particular religious dogma isn’t Nazism” I’d love to know what it is.
Right wingers are out of control.
Here’s another example of them having their children arrested over the Schiavo matter.

March 25th, 2005 at 5:16 pmThe article fails to mention that someone in Schiavo’s condition would have died within a week in the 1940’s. There weren’t the machines necessary to keep someone in her condition alive back then, so I don’t see how they can claim that Nazis would have killed someone in that condition.
March 25th, 2005 at 5:50 pmI agree with the comments so far and especially Paul Salcido. There is a difference between a request to stop treatment by an individual and a government killing people. Wasn’t the bush administration going to use poor children to test the effect of pesticides on children? Forget goebbels – let’s go straight to old joe mengels.
March 26th, 2005 at 1:04 amAnyone who thinks that Terri Shiavo should die is actually WORSE than Hitler.
Oh wait, no there not.
This woman should die, her brain is rotted, she ain’t coming back.
March 27th, 2005 at 1:42 amIt isn’t just TVC who insults 80 percent of Americans. Most cable news networks, including the very slimely CNN, also insult us.
