nonetheless, I do think she has the right to desecrate the flag

OMAHA, Neb. - A member of the Kansas group that has drawn criticism for protesting at soldiers’ funerals has been arrested for letting her 10-year-old son stomp on a U.S. flag during a demonstration. She promised Wednesday to challenge the state’s flag desecration law in court.

Shirley Phelps-Roper, 49, will be charged with flag mutilation, disturbing the peace and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, Sarpy County Attorney Lee Polikov said Wednesday.

Phelps-Roper, a member of the Westboro Baptist Church, acknowledged that she allowed her son Jonah to stand on the flag Tuesday — something she says is protected by the U.S. Constitution.

1. Pennsylvania must be so pleased. n/t

4. These maniacs aren't from PA, they were just protesting here in that picture

The flag stomping took place in Nebraska. Topeka, KS (much to Kansas' chagrin) is the home of these nut-jobs.

6. i think the poster is referring to the original DU Moran guy, who hails from PA

9. :)

No, but that's a good point. Thanks.

[Patsy Stone]

8. Her sweatshirt

says Pennsylvania. She's not a good advertisement, and probably not what they would have liked her to photographed in.

10. Oh, thanks for explaining!

I was totally not getting the "Pennsylvania" reference.
Pre-she-ate it! :thumbsup:

[TommyO]

29. AUGH!

I see what you mean.

[evlbstrd]

2. She's also an attorney.

I defend her right to speech while I deplore her message.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. I've seen her before

look at her face--look at the hate ingrained into it. Can she be a person at peace with herself? To me she looks like she is insane.

[Coexist]

5. maybe she has the right

but I get to pick who I choose to "defend to the death".

She aint one of them.

[Aviation Pro]

7. What is she?

A bat?

11. It pains me greatly to say I think -this particular- charge is BS.

If there are actually 'sacred' things (which I strenuously deny the existence of) the flag ain't one of them.

It will be interesting if this case comes before a homophobic/anti-flag-burning judge.

[Bucky]

16. Nah, even homophobes hate the Westboro bunch

In their twisted minds, this makes them "middle of hte road" because they can equally hate gays and gay-haters.

Try not the think about that too long. The logic involved doesn't deserve your consideration.

12. Not as "moranic" as the cop and District Attorney

who'll be handing her a big pile of the Sarpy County taxpayers' $.

[live love laugh]

13. Are you sure that's not Fred? n/t

[Reverend_Smitty]

14. They are all vile sacks of shit but...

a flag is just a piece of fabric and the first amendment protects her on that. Ironically enough the stomping on an American flag (something I would never do) is probably the least repugnant thing about their whole protest. I hate everything those bastards stand for but I love the first amendment more.

The whole friggen clan are lawyers so no doubt they will spend tons of tax payer's money fighting this thing...and win

15. Thank God for dead soldiers?

Why the fuck does Rush and Hannity and the RW drones always attack liberals - but don't rail on Fred and his brood? What more do they need to put on a poster?

[WindRavenX]

17. That is an excellent, excellent observation

My god, can they get any fucking lower? :puke:

[underseasurveyor]

18. Yeah that struck me too

I mean what the fuck is wrong with these people:wtf:

[Bucky]

19. Maybe they think God is gay

These are really random, fucked up people. God is killing American soldiers, in their minds, to punish America because America grants some civil rights to gays. Yes, random, abusive punishment doled out to innocent bystanders for the crime of accidentally sharing a country with people they're convinced God hates.

If you understand that, go scrub your brain with bleach.

And try not to think about what types of parents these people make.

22. They accuse Phelps of being liberal.

[Rex]

23. Oh okay, thanks.

I've never heard them talk about Fred (not that I listen to the RW shitheads) and his mission of hate.

Makes sense they would deny one of their own.

[Raine]

28. Some people think they are anti-war liberals

they were here in Los Angeles county last week protesting in my neighborhood at the funeral of a local boy killed in Iraq. They drew quite a crowd and while some people knew exactly who they were some people thought they were lefty anti-war protesters. :-(

[ContraBass Black]

20. Do they always grin like that while they hold up their signs?

[Reverend_Smitty]

24. If you can get a hold of this documentary...

Louis Theroux: The Most Hated Family in America...it originally aired on the BBC in April and I was able to find it on bit torrent but essentially this reporter lives with the Phelps clan and experiences their madness first hand. It's almost too difficult to watch, especially the parts with the young children but it gives good insight to how truly fucked up these people are

[underseasurveyor]

21. Her expression is that of one of those maniacal evil clowns

And she doesn't even need the clown make-up:scared: :/shudder: whoa, nightmares.

[Marr]

25. The fact that these people haven't been run over is proof of the fact

that Americans in general are not half as evil as they claim, and not 1/10th as disgusting as the Phelps family.

[johnaries]

26. She and her son have the right do say or do whatever stupid,

idiotic things they like.
And I have the right to call them stupid and idiotic for saying or doing it.
that's the way the Constitution was SUPPOSED to work...

27. The only cure is a lobotomy.

[kimmylavin]

30. She sure is enjoying herself...

What a nutjob.
