"Are you saying I should be hateful and/or advocate violence against Fred Phelps and his so-called church?"

I would opine that your postings on this forum appear to indicate that you seem to have as great a craving for attention as does Fred Phelps. Why else would you attempt to provoke the other members in such a fashion, and "in the name of Christianity".

Actually, I thought this was a discussion forum, i.e. for discussing the news. I enjoy debate and find this to be an interesting case about 1st Amendment rights.

I didn’t know I was to refrain from discussing things you disagree with, but I do ask you to stop the personal attacks. Equating me to Fred Phelps is uncalled for.

CitizenUSA has raised a perfectly acceptable legal, not emotional, question for discussion and followed his line of reasoning throughout in a civil manner. Attacking him for raising that question is highly inappropriate.

Few, if any, of us have so much as read the complaint much less the jury instructions and verdict in the case. As the parent of a currently serving soldier, and just as an American citizen, I am delighted the family of the slain soldier won its verdict. However, as a legal matter, it is fair to ask if the verdict and judgment will hold up on appeal and how it affects everyone’s First Amendment rights.
