I found the comments by the libs to be interesting. They all insist to a man that no vet was ever spit on, and that any vet who says that he was is a liar. It reminds me of the Holocaust deniers’ meme—it never happened, but the Jews deserved it.

I recently watched a documentary on showtime about Phelps. the bikers did show up at one of their demonstrations at a soldier’s funeral. the bikers revved their motors so no one could hear them screaming their nonsense at the funeral.

We just need a law to be passed or a judge to decree by fiat that while these phelps fools have a right to express themselves that if any of the mourners were to go over and bash a protestor’s face in, that would also be simply a first-amendment-protected expression of the mourner’s speech.

What I'm curious about is why none of those liberal groups ever show up to oppose these guys over their stance on gays.

Oh wait, that's right... these people are really left-wing Agent Provocateurs only pretending to be Baptists to give religious Christians bad press, aren't they? OK, now it all makes sense again. The lefty protest groups are in on it...

Forgive me for jumping in here...I’m the male half of tajgirvan(Tim) but this is so utterly ridiculous of the court to allow this trespass! I’m wondering(seriously) if the helpful bikers could stand in once in a while? It could stop this nonsense once and for all! Carry on, good folks.
