I hadn't heard that Terry Jones ever stomped on or burned an American flag or was "soldier-hating." Do you have a link to that? But you still haven't established that any FReeper is a supporter of any of those people.

But that wasn't the comparison you made before so your response is rather meaningless.

I was the one who posted the first thread that linked Jones and Phelps, the one that showed Jones’ “Letter of Support of Westboro,” complete with pictures of him protesting with them. Terry Jones was in one picture with a person who was holding a sign, “Thank God Vicki Is Dead.” I don’t know if Vicki was a soldier or not. To me it makes very little difference.

I had hundred of replies to that post and was pinged on countless others from many, many different threads.

I was shocked at the many responses such as: “He is a patriot” “He is risking his life for the First Amendment” “He is fighting for our way of life” “I will be in my back yard burning a Koran but I will be with him in spirit” etc.

I am not looking all of those posts to prove a point to you. You can go search the Burn the Koran threads and read them yourself.

And I do respect the First Amendment. You can support whichever anti-American protester you choose.
