^^^ I guess you're not familiar with the First Amendment or with the case currently pending in the US Supreme Court, Snyder v Phelps, which presents the question of how far First Amendment rights go in cases of protestors at funerals.

Guess MC and I finally agree. I think we might have agreed on one other item but it was long ago.

No matter how repugnant, they do have the right to do what they are doing. I am looking forward to the time when we can protest at one of their (Westboro's members) funerals. Should be a blast with everyone holding signs saying "God Hates Assholes".

Agreed. While I agree they have the right as Americans to do what they are doing, I still think it is absolutely despicable.

I wonder how people can read the Bible and still believe that breeding hate and fear will give them the reward of heaven.

LOL. Actually, I'd bet there's more we agree on -- things maybe we haven't discussed on GC. Like this, for example:

I was going to respond that this Presbyterian will see you there, but I got sidetracked by jr09.

I agree again. Twice in one thread. A new record!

I was being glib before, but honestly, it's important even that crackpots like this exist and do what they do. It's a walking civics lesson, a reminder that our cherished rights apply to everyone regardless of taste.

Now I've seen everything. Ghostwriter and MysticCat are sitting side by side on a log, holding hands and watching a fire and singing "Kumbaya."

Ghostwriter · #39 01-13-2011, 03:48 PM

^^^The imagery is burnt into my brain now. I can't get it out.

"Kumbaya, my Lord! Kumbaya! ... Oh, Lord, Kumbaya!"

Oh dear. In my very perverted brain this afternoon that sounded less like "Oh Lord, Kumbaya" and OH LORD! KUMBAYA!" *cough*

Maybe we should all sing the "Barney Song" instead! Time for an earworm.

I love you, you love me. We're a perfect family...

It's a small world after all

*ducks. worst. earworm. ever.

You guys are just getting the pleasure to know WB in recent years. The mainstream media really caught on to them after we invaded Iraq and they decided to protest high profile deaths of soldiers.

But anyone from Kansas will tell you that we've had the pleasure to know their acquaintance for a long time. :sad: Especially if you lived in Wichita because at one time, we had 3 clinics that performed abortions so......yeah - good times.

Sorry they decided to share the love with the rest of the world.

Oh no...I just learned that they are planning to protest at the high school where I'm an intern. They posted a schedule of protests here: http://www.godhatesfags.com/schedule.html

Gunderson HS (at the bottom) will be performing a play about a gay high school student. I'm really worried about this...
