5. Isn't this a form of stalking, instead of one person it's a class? |
|
In this case it would be stalking the grieving. Shouldn't they be able to get a restraining order?

6. I think that will be the final nail in their own coffin. Hopefully, most |
|
people will be appalled and something (I don't know what) will be done about these awful people.

11. I remember reading here that their 'church' thing is nothing but a big scam. |
|
They sue people for interfering with their 'free speech' and all. That's how they make their money and put their kids through law school.

They make money off lawsuits for infringing on their First Amendment rights.

Hard to imagine a more filthy and perverted diatribe than that screed against Elizabeth Edwards. These people have created their so-called "God" in their own hateful image.

|
form a protective ring around the memorial, to keep WBC far away.

13. The ultimate anti-socialists - they hate everyone. |
|
I wonder, when the members kick the bucket, will they be picketing those funerals? At the very least, there ought to be big celebrations by the public when their own members start dying off.

I thought Alito's statement sounded like he was begging for a reason to shut them down.
Personally, I'd think twice before picketing the funeral of a top trial lawyer's wife, but they must feel pretty secure.
I wish I could afford to go to the funeral and stand in front of them. Do we have enough DUers in the area to do that?

18. Of course they would, that's what they do |
|
Why are people surprised when the fuckers show up, they picket every chance they get to get them more attention. They WANT attention, of course they'd picket Elizabeth Edwards.

23. Elizabeth would just roll her eyes at these clowns. |
|
She wouldn't let it rent space in her head but she would want her young children shielded from it. I wonder if enough people could gather in Raleigh to be a human shield for the Edwards family?

27. Meh. It makes clear the rabid ugliness of the Phelps loonies. |
|
They want attention. They don't have any coherent agenda, other than trying to provoke folk into a frothing rage
I can't see that this requires much reaction from anybody else: it pretty much speaks for itself

But if someone finally killed that whole clan, they would be a hero in my book. The world would be a better place without those assholes in it.

34. We need to picket their funerals and weddings, all of the events |
|
at their "church". Get a Sunday program to read announcements, check knits for funeral to be held there.
I normally wouldn't be like this, but giving them a taste of their own medicine may be the only way to stop their hateful behavior.

36. Do they have services at their church? |
|
Maybe that is where they need to feel the heat.
Put them on the terrorist list so they can't travel by air.
Drop missiles on their church.

far from the funeral. Didn't a town do that for a soldier's funeral?
Keep them the hell away from decent people.
