A local judge jailed Pastor Terry Jones of Gainesville, Florida and his associate Wayne Sapp after a court found their planned protest outside the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Michigan, could lead to violence.

Can't use that logic against Westboro Baptist Church's desecration of US soldiers funerals, but you can use it against offending Moslems.

Interesting.

This all leads back to the Birth Certificate, people.

I'm not one who implies Obama was born outside the US. But I do imply that he's been refusing to release his records to nullify the US Constitution. He did the same with how Obama-Care was shoved down our throats, he did the same when he made a formal complaint against the State Of Arizona to the United Nations and he ignored Congress and consulted the United Nations when taking us to war with Libya. It's a slippery slope.

Now we should be very careful what we post on the internet. If they feel that our freedom of speech could lead to violence (not in our own city) but in some village on the other side of the world we could be hearing a knock on our doors by the Feds.

I suppose in Obama's next term it will be guns that will be banned next.

To be selective on what's important and what's not so important in the US Constitution is a very dangerous choice and slippery slope.

My thought exactly...”Cafeteria Enforcement”: Pick the ones you like and agree with and go after those that disagree with you.
Is ANYONE really shocked by this? I’m guessing there was a phone call from Holder to start this.

IMHO: Jones is a jerk who is looking for publicity, now they make him a martyr too, however, The Westboro Loons are defaming heroes and hurting their families and then suing those who get frustrated and start to give them the butt-kicking they need...welcome to Bizarro World...

That was my very first thought also. Kudos.

They violated his civil rights when they jailed him.

Your statement is true, but it is ironic in that Terry Jone’s Dove Outreach Center actually supported and marched with the Westboro psuedo-baptist loons.
