Picking on Tom Delay

15 years ago Terri Schiavo's tragedy began, when her family couldn't let her go.

More than 16 years ago, far from the political passions that have defined the Schiavo controversy,...

[Tom Delay's career as a hypocrite began]

[as] the DeLay family endured its own wrenching end-of-life crisis. The man in a coma, kept alive by intravenous lines and oxygen equipment, was DeLay's father, Charles Ray DeLay.

[snip]

And DeLay is among the strongest advocates of keeping the woman, who doctors say has been in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years, connected to her feeding tube. DeLay has denounced Schiavo's husband, as well as judges, for committing what he calls "an act of barbarism" in removing the tube.

In 1988, however, there was no such fiery rhetoric as the congressman quietly joined the sad family consensus to let his father die.


...and PERRspectives points out that:

In recent days, criticism has unfairly rained down on House majority leader Tom Delay for supposedly comparing himself to Jesus. As Delay put it in his own defense, "people hate the messenger. That's why they killed Christ."


They then defend Ol' Tom by doing a comparison chart between him and Jesus.
