I think what this thread is about is a release of the pent-up frustration inherent in arguing with someone that is basing his or her argument on fantasy. The Schiavo discussion could have been a very good debate on life and death issues, but instead it turned into baseless ad hominem attacks on the husband and completely insane diagnoses by doctors from watching a 2 minute videotape. Anyone that really thought about it could see through it for what it was: a cheap political stunt. So the frustration builds up, and then when everything is definitively revealed as B.S., the feeling is not only of 'I told you so', but also 'look at the lies you were fed and don't fall for them again!'
It's a red herring to try and deflect it into a 'you just hate Bush' argument.
