http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2fUyJQgRuM&mode=related&search= Im suprised they have been shot at or killed yet. I mean, picketing soldiers funerals, saying that all homosexuals should die? Isnt that qualified as a hate crime? shouldnt these people be in jail yet?
Whats criminal about calling people names? Or protesting? The two sisters happen to be very good attorneys and experts in the area of constitutional rights. They may be repugnant but they are breaking no laws. Those rights that we all love and are proud of exist to protect unpopular acts. If they were popular we would need no laws guarnteeing them.
If they ever picketed a funeral of someone I cared for, I'd happily spend time in jail for the chance to kill every one of them.
Not proud that they are from my state and it kills me that they protest the soldiers that are fighting for the very freedom that allows them to protest as they do. This is something that I just do not understand.
Exactly. A whole lot of people dont seem to understand this, or else they dont want to accept it. I think these picketers are disgusting, but as much as it may gall to see repugnant views tolerated and the right to express them defended, the fact is thats what protects our rights too.
They are just sick. So don't worship the dead, everyone is killed for a reason. What happens when one of their own dies? Does that mean they deserved it as well. I personally believe a small group of people should beat the living **** out of them. I highly doubt they would be charged with a crime. If you hate this country, then LEAVE!!!
Wouldn't surprise me. If you have seen pictures of both sisters and their Father then get a load of their religious views, inbreeding is a real consideration.
Ididn't make it 30 seconds into that video. Disgusting. Say what you want about freedoms and rights. This is just plain wrong.
I believe that is the group of idiots that spawned a group of motorcycle riders to keep them away from funerals and a whole host of potential laws to make it a crime to disrupt a funeral. And I don't CARE what their rights are SUPPOSED to be, when your right impacts my nose, it is WRONG. Disrupting someones funeral and causing even more grief on the part of the friends and relatives should be at least local prison time. (Just goes to prove the middle east doesn't have the only nut-cases)
I wouldn't kill them, I'd beat the living **** EVER see them at or near a funeral I attend I will beat the **** out of them.
Jason that is exactly what they want, controversy breeds coverage, Coverage breeds Donations, Someone is funding this... Some of the money they have taken in has come from successful "Freedom" lawsuits they have filed Remember the simpsons Tree House of Horror? The one where Advertising Icons came to life.... Just don't look and they will go away. Lower forms of life like this need attention to grow

Well it really is a fact that the Bible does say that for Christians and Jews homosexual relationships are not allowed. Both the New and the Old Testament consider homosexuality as a sin, as it is (according to the Bible) an act against God's creation. But this must also be said: for Christians divorcing is a sin too and so is premarital sex etc.. so homosexuality isn't the only thing. But for the people who are not Christian or Jew the word of Bible doesn't really matter, does it? We all know nowadays the modern society in Europe and USA is quite liberal on these matters. These people are only hurting their own cause with their crazy behaviour. Plus I doubt it's a good idea to be saying what God has (or hasn't done) to punish someone. So mixing the 9/11 or dead soldiers with this matter is really, REALLY ignorant. But for the folk who wish to follow the teachings of Bible in their personal lives, homosexual behaviour isn't really possible. I think that can be said without any intention of hurting anyone's feelings. But what this family is doing is spreading and preaching hate and intentionally insulting people. That isn't possible either. So in the end it's the classic problem of one not practising what one is teaching.
NO! There is no such thing as a "hate crime." All crime is couched in hate, disdain for humanity or other disregard for people. These despicable acts are not criminal. Free speech means just that. When you get rid of all the people with whom you disagree, who is left to get rid of? Three guesses.
Not only do you know a lot of good car stuff but, you are a very reasonable man. Best regards. " I am against capital punishment. The capital has punished us enough"
Inbred piles of human garbage that have never had to sacrifice anything to protect their own freedom. It's easy to yam about something when you never have to pay for it or put up or shut up. Sometimes the easy ride this country affords its citizens is too easy.
