What did Tom DeLay mean Thursday when he said that "the time will come for the men responsible" for the death of Terri Schiavo "to answer for" their actions? He wouldn't explain at a press conference held in Texas on Thursday (3-31-05).
But after a judge was killed in Atlanta and a judge's family was murdered in Chicago, Senator Ted Kennedy rightly labeled DeLay's comments "irresponsible and reprehensible." Senator Kennedy went on to say, "I'm not sure what Mr. DeLay meant when he said 'the time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior.' But at a time when emotions are running high, Mr. DeLay needs to make clear that he is not advocating violence against anyone. People in this case have already had their lives threatened. It is time for mourning and healing, not for more inflammatory rhetoric, and responsible national leaders should understand that and stop this exploitation."
What is DeLay thinking? Does he support vigilantism against those who don't think or believe like he does? Are only he and those of his ilk safe from attack and all others placed in open season? What is going on in my country?
