2. The irony of Fred Phelps and his association having to ask |
|
the ACLU (an organization I'm sure they normally revile) for help is not lost on me.

3. Good. I hate Phelps and everything he stands for, but I will not limit |
|
his right to speak just because i despise him.
That's the tactic of the immature, whiny, shitbags, and is no different than the rightwingers wanting to limit speech.
Either speech and the right to assemble are free; or it's bullshit.

4. While I wouln't mind at all to see Phelch die a horrid, excrutiating death |
|
I have to say that the ACLU is doing the right thing. As we have seen quite clearly with the Current Regime, once you start limiting the rights of extremists, it becomes frighteningly easy to expand the definition of "extremist" until it covers everyone who doesn't fully support the Ruling Party's dogma.
