Oh come Davo, you know those aren't even comparable issues/scenarios. I thought you were better at debate than that. I'm sure it's not that hard to find comparable issues of hypocricy on the part of the Left.


Like I said before, if Terri Schiavo was a terrorist, the left wouldn't be screaming for her death. But you're right, I could have thought of something better than that.



I think the point is that if Terri Schiavo was the Queen of England the Left wouldn't be screaming for her death either. I can fill the blank with any number of things. That doesn't make it a comparable scenario. Wanting Terri Schiavo to be allowed to die, as purportedly was her desire, is no more related to killing a terrorist than it is to killing the Queen. A desire for one is not at all inclusive of a desire for the other, nor is it remotely hypocritical to believe in one but not the other. I believe you yourself support the Death Penalty, Davo; but I assume you don't support Murder. For many people they are one in the same, but I assume that, to you, they are not.

I think the fundamental difference between opposing views in this case lies between the difference of perception between "killing" and "allowing to die". And you're going to have a hard time convincing one or the other.
