count me in!
 
I'm skint, and I'd find a way to make it to the piece of shit's funeral with the funniest, most offensive, sign I could possibly think of. I wonder if these mother fuckers would think it was as correct as they think their own protests are. His bitch of a daughter would probably have a heart attack, and in the process realise just how many people she has offended in her lifetime.i
 
I doubt they'd realize they've done something wrong. I bet they'll feel people are unjustly targeting them, victimizing themselves, and then preach about how everyone is going to hell, call the police and force them to escort the people away for ruining their funeral, and then proceed to sue people for insulting and offending them.
 
I will SO be at this piece of shit's funeral. I don't care if I have to crawl there.

Oh, and to expand on the back and forth Hexx and I are having, let's run with that distinction:

Ok, let's say someone (who totally missed the point, mind you . . .) started the Church of John McClain, applied for permit in Harlem, then all showed up wearing sandwich boards that said "GOD HATES N*****S" . . . would they be demonstrating or simply inciting others to violence?

My assertion is there is no difference between this hypothetical group and Phelps the Phlying Phuckhead and his Phalanx of Phestering Phoreskins.

LOL this would be so awesome xD
 
I HAVE A SIGN :o
 
I will be protesting in Sweden if I am unable to attend his funeral in the states, just to show my support of the others demonstrating. If possible with as many people as I can gather.

Let's prepare by thinking of possible signs to use, Skaw's at a good start.

I go to Northern Illinois University. Two years back we had a former student open fire on a completely unprepared classroom and the resulting death toll was 6 people and many others injured. Not a single day had passed when Westboro was picketing the funerals of completely innocent, completely unjustified deaths because they went to a school that "developed and cultivated a relationship with homosexuals." You have no idea how much it hurt to see these people outside my school with their signs. After my wife and I were so close to the attack we heard the shotgun blasts and saw the bloodied and frantic students running out of their classroom. For them to say that we deserved it? No god, no law, no person should protect them from that.

There is a difference between "Free" speech and "Hate" speech, in my book. As an atheist, I want nothing more than to see these fools silenced. They have a job as an American citizen to benefit their society as a whole. Depressing students outside a massacre and word-defecating on grieving families is far enough. Their message of hate, while in completely legal systems, does not deserve to be heard. We can condemn and ignore them all we'd like, but in the long run they are setting America, the human condition, and their religion back about twenty years.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I agree.
While I am completely a free speech advocate in nearly every possible way, I don't think they are expressing speech.
It is hate and nothing but hate from a bunch of wackos.
 
These assholes protested in front of my synagogue during High Holidays. It was all I could do to not to "accidentally" lose control of my vehicle as I drove up.

Phelps-Roper said the church is an independent Baptist church, not affiliated with any Baptist organization. It has about 70 people attending services, and about 80 percent of those attending are related by blood or marriage, she said.

oh no doubt this has crossed the minds of many people around the country, I'm sure the patriot guard riders will be there

we should really show up and get a courus of "Oh Happy Day" going, so loud that it drowns out their ceremony
 
I really struggle with this issue. Personally, I would really have no problem seeing these people beaten down, or even to death. Idk why really, I guess that is kinda disturbing, but I would not help defend their right to life. I wouldn't take it personally, but I would be pleased to hear they were mowed down.

I might defend the right to speech though. I know I have weird logic (conflicting) with this stance, but eh. I am logical with almost everything else, for some reason I am also okay with being illogical about this.

Probably because it's not free speech, but harassment and incitement.

Definitely harassment, and as I said before it's slanderous. They should by rights be charged with it.
 
Yea, I did always kind of wonder how the religious nuts that come to my college campus are allowed to scream in public at individuals that they are a whore, masturbator(always lol at this), slut, sinner, etc. I mean how is that not slander lol, it seems to fit the description perfectly.
 
I think Bill O'Reilly is douchebag blowhard for the most part, but this is a classy move on his part:

Bill O'Reilly To Pay Court Costs Of Fallen Marine's Father
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly will pick up the legal tab of the father of a fallen U.S. Marine after a judge ruled that he must pay the court costs of the members of the controversial Westboro Baptist Church, who he sued for protesting his son's funeral.
This particular church is infamous for protesting the funerals of U.S. servicemen with signs saying God killed the soldiers because of homosexuality in America, among other things.
O'Reilly called the legal fees an "outrage": "I will pay Mr. Snyder's obligation. I am not going to let this injustice stand."

Hali? Does that mean it's been to court, and they not only ruled in favor of these lowlifes . . . but they hung this father of a deceased serviceman with the court costs on the grounds that he'd brought a frivolous lawsuit?

I'd not only appeal that decision, I'd be lookin into what it would take to sue that judge . . .
