    I have no "love" for the sodomites, but Phelps inc. are missing the boat. They're too over-the-top (possibly by design) & thus their "message" isn't received by the general public. I suspect their "schtick" is just a ploy for publicity. This crap of protesting fallen soldier's funerals & holding signs saying "miners in hell" is total BS! That garbage is uncalled for & totally disrespectful. [img]smileys/smiley7.gif[/img]

    I was with them up through protests at funerals, simply because they usually only further ingrain the stupidity of war ("OH my baby died fighting for his country we must all be eternally grateful to him and make sure his sacrifice is not in vain ad nauseam"). But this news is baffling! AL GORE?

    This is hilarious -- the BBC tries to keep up with the WBC!

    Oh, great -- now the word "fags" joins the word "n i g g e r" in the liberal lexicon of "too sacred to be read or heard"!

Nothing is said about chasing them down -- I guess to call the police would only only mean harassment.

    LIBERALS ARE NEVER GUILTY OF ANYTHING, even throwing a supersize drink at the head of a 6-year-old boy. This is just a normal day in liberaldumb. Libs get to hit and kill people, but since love is the answer and All You Need And Love and liberals are the children of Jawnny Lennon, it's all right. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.

    Members of a so-called Kansas
    “church” that attracted national attention for their hateful, anti-gay
    protests at the funerals of U.S. military members have won their appeal
    to the U.S. Supreme Court in a case that tested the meaning of the constitutional right of free speech guaranteed by the First Amendment.

    The church is coming to my town on
    Saturday and talk radio is atwitter with righteous indignation. I
    just wrote a normally great talk station in Greenville:

    I believe Westboro Baptist's message
    could be summed up as "You didn't listen to God or the founding
    fathers regarding military adventurism, America. You didn't listen
    to common sense or the biggest protest movement in history as "W"
    dragged us into raping Afghanistan and Iraq. You'll put up with
    endless warmongering and sacrifice any number of your children to
    the war god and continue stifling your conscience. If you wouldn't
    listen to all those warnings, will you hear it via our desperate,
    extreme shock tactics? Because otherwise, America, you are doomed and
    you know it!"


    Politicians, media mavens and citizen
    jingoists technically have the right to abuse the First Amendment and
    everything decent by promoting war, aggression and national suicide, I suppose.
    Lost in most discussion of WBC is the fact that we who want
    Constitutional government and a sane, peaceable, moral national life
    are clearly in the right -- but basically left in the dust once some
    lamebrain so-called President ameriKa into another geopolitical
    rape-murder-suicide.

    I don't instinctively like the idea of Westboro's protests, but if they help even one young person to decide not
    to join the killing machine, maybe they're worth it.

    LATER -- the day of: Heard sirens and a chopper fly over my house a few blocks from the church so I just went over there to have a looksee, ready to cash in on my having written the Phelpses up in the NT a few years ago. The protesters didn't appear -- only the biker groups that were formed to shield families from Westboro protesters at funerals. I talked to a few who told me Westboro had made a deal with Greenville radio for on-air interviews in lieu of carrying out the protest but they, the bikers, turned out at the church just in case. There were a few police around, mostly to help people cross the busy side street, quite a number of gawkers scattered over blocks, and two people interviewing the latter on unmarked TV-style video cameras.

    Since the scene inside was all about the greatness and nobility of our hired killers and the one outside in response to people trying to sound a desperately-needed warning about such jingoism, there was a painful air of irony about the whole thing. I think I hear the bikers' noisy wheels escorting the family to the military cemetery now..........
