Video footage from KPSP CBS 2 Palm Spring News shows Proposition 8 protesters surrounding an elderly woman and the reporter trying to interview her, shouting and blocking the camera's view of the woman, ultimately forcing the two to flee from the encircling crowd.

Phyllis Burgess, a supporter of true marriage, had been assaulted earlier as she displayed a large cross in front of the protesters. Video footage shows the anti-marriage crowd pushing Burgess, slapping the cross out of her hand and stomping on it as they surround her.

When reporter Kimberly Chang attempted to interview Burgess shortly thereafter, she grew visibly upset as dozens of protesters encircled the pair and shouted them down while blocking the camera with their signs, rendering the interview impossible.

People have been treating Christ and His followers that way for 2,000 years.

They're just showing what they're really about.

where were the police to handle these blatant law breakers.

As they demanded "tolerance" for their own views.

Hate crimes and several various felonies.

Probably getting ready to charge the old lady with a “hate crime”

I saw this live on KPSP...they took their sweet time in breaking up the fracas, and then only half-heartedly.

Palm Springs is far and away "gayer" than San Francisco.....oh, and their public information officer is named Sgt. Mitch Spike.......you can't make this stuff up.

” There are those who believe that a new modernity demands a new morality. What they fail to consider is the harsh reality that there is no such thing as a new morality. The is only one morality: all else is immorality. There is only true christian ethics over against that which stands the whole of paganism”... President Theodore Roosevelt

Mmm.. seems there was a Bible story I read somewhere about a crowd of gays getting into a bit of a tizzy. Next day their fair cities were a smoldering mess... is History repeating itself shortly?

Did you hear the last words of the reporter in the studio. “Hate on both sides.” Guess I cannot believe my lying ears.

Tolerance is a two way street.

If they’re after sympathy, it isn’t working. Are the networks reporting any of these attacks?

[tang-soo]

The idiot newscaster’s parting words, “... a lot of hate on both sides.”

Wonderful.

The supporters against Prop 8 remind me of the religion of peace and the liberals. You can believe and do anything you want as long as they do too. Before the elections, there were thousands of reports of signs being stolen or destroyed. In my area, a supporter of Prop 8 had his vehicle decorated with Yes on Prop 8, McCain/Palin and other signs. One night, the peaceful fags destroys the guy's pickup. Slashed the tires, broke the windows, sugar in the gas tank. The only difference between the terrorists and the people against Prop 8, is the terrorists would blow you up. Liberals are going to try to shut down conservative talk radio and with all three branches controlled by radical libs, it will probably happen. Thank you Mr. Obama.

This is the second report I’ve seen in the past hour on the people and churches being attacked.
