States May Restrict Protests at Soldiers' Funerals
Anti-Gay Church Threatens First Amendment Lawsuit
By CARRIE SPENCER GHOSE, AP


COLUMBUS, Ohio (Feb. 6) - States are rushing to limit when and where people may protest at funerals - all because of a small Kansas church whose members picket soldiers' burials, arguing that Americans are dying for a country that harbors homosexuals.

Unbelievable. Hateful, spiteful, moronic. But not unique to America.

the potential for shockingly rude comments in a mixture of Yiddish and English is extremely high

what I will say is: "Idiots. Go back to the pit you crawled out of"

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

There is already a thread about this in the politics/religion forum here:http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.php?t=284798

What the protesters are doing is wrong.

Only in America? No. There are idiots everywhere.

"Only in Amrierka"

Pretty close to one of those scary Islamic countries too so it might be a tie.

What these fiends do is exceedingly rude, but it is not worth violating free speech just to get rid of them. They've been chased away by the locals before, and that is the proper way to deal with things like that.

The saddest part about this family of inbred retards is how they use the bible to justify what they do.
That A$$ Phelps could quote you any number of verses from the bible justifing what they do.

love thy neighbor unless they represent something about your own demons (issues) that you cannot accept. don't look inwards, condemn others.

They are idiots...but how are they any different than the crazed anti-war protesters? Or the pro-murder protesters? Fred Phelps and his 10 followers (his family) are idiots. But, then again, how are they different from any other protesters?

Only in America is free speech taken so seriously that even fiends can count on its protection.

Your comment reminded me of that scene with the nut-sorting squirrels in Willy Wonka.

I'd agree that they should have the right to make their hateful, ignorant protests. That being said, being an advocate of smaller government, I think the government has enough on its hands, so they could look the other way while the deceased soldier's brothers in arms beat the living crap out of these people.

And can I please state that these people do not represent the vast majority of Christianity? They're as common (if not less so) than snake handlers in the mountains.

Somehow I think that if a large sinkhole were to open up and swallow those people, the world would be better off for it.

Dave,

I'm sure that they're very nice people really deep down.


Do you think 12ft deep down is far enough?
If this post is in the Lounge forum, it is likely to be my own opinion, and not representative of the position of MacNN.com.

Just far enough down that I can't hear them anymore...
