Is there anything gay unions can't do?

A sniper rifle would be too kind. Those pathetic, worthless bags of skin and hate deserve a good old fashioned baseball bat to the cranium.

those guys really need to focus their limited resources on one cause. either project hate-filled vitriol at dead soldiers or married homosexuals, but brother, you can't do both.

someone must now commit ritual suicide for the sake of humanity.

They think the soldiers are getting killed because the US allows homosexuality.

The guy leaves behind his wife and unborn son, I was going to be snarky and throw something in about oil costs but fark it snark is not going to let that kid meet his dad.

no, but I think people at a wedding (in good spirits and all) are more emotionally able to handle assholes then parents burying their son and a wife burying her husband, the father of their unborn child.

Ideally these asshats would stay home or rapture themselves with a revolver. But, if they need to be asshats, I'd prefer the target of their asshattery be people in a better position to deal with them.

It is honestly fairly astonishing that someone hasn't raptured one of them by now.

Heh. Ok. I know that if they were at my wedding-especially if I'd been waiting for years or even decades for it- I'd be pretty pissed.

But if I was that pregnant widow, or that kid's mom, I'd be murderous.

He's already had one failed marriage.

Phelps earned a law degree from Washburn University in 1962, and founded the Phelps Chartered law firm in 1964. The first notable cases were of a civil rights nature. "I systematically brought down the Jim Crow laws of this town," he says.[8] Phelps' daughter was quoted as saying, "We took on the Jim Crow establishment, and Kansas did not take that sitting down. They used to shoot our car windows out, screaming we were attractive and successful African-American lovers," and that the Phelps law firm made up one-third of the state's federal docket of civil-rights cases.[11]

Phelps took cases on behalf of African American clients alleging discrimination by school systems, and a predominately black American Legion post which had been raided by police, alleging racially-based police abuse. Phelps' law firm obtained settlements for some clients.[12] Phelps also sued then-President Ronald Reagan over Reagan's appointment of a U.S. ambassador to the Vatican, alleging this violated separation of church and state. The case was dismissed by the U.S. district court.[13][12] Phelps' law firm, staffed by himself and family members also represented non-white Kansans in discrimination actions against Kansas Power and Light, Southwestern Bell, and the Topeka City Attorney, and represented two female professors alleging discrimination in Kansas universities.[11]

In the 1980s Fred Phelps received awards from the Greater Kansas City Chapter of Blacks in Government and the Bonner Springs branch of the NAACP for his work on behalf of black clients.[14]

Phelps Chartered also won one of the first reverse discrimination cases.[15]

That's my point. I'm not saying "whew, they're just going to fark up a wedding, no big deal".

I'm saying that between two shiatty options, this one is the less shiatty.

Also, if it were my wedding and I heard these assholes were going to protest a funeral but changed plans to come at me instead, I like to think that my attitude would be "at least that family can bury their loved one in peace"

Actually if it were me, I'd have fun there. Cause I could rub my unholy union in their face, cause they can't do a thing about it.

You know...thou hast a point.
Total brain death + healthy functioning carcass = a pretty good source of usable donor organs for those who need the little niceties of life...

That way they could truly benefit a lot of people.

With the number of funerals that these d-bags have protested, I wonder how often they are protesting at the funeral of a soldier whose family already hates gays, and if the protests make that family second-guess their hatred.

That aside, as a new mom, my heart just breaks for his wife. I can't - and don't want to - imagine the hell she's living right now.

Have you seen the lot of them?

That's the head of it all, dressed in his Brokeback Mountain get-up.

That guy on the left is a bear if ever I saw one. What WOMAN is thinking "I want a piece of that"...? No, he made himself look like George Michael for a reason.


www.baptistwatch.org

This next one's called 'framing'. Big neon sign showing gay sex, drawn in a manner that makes it universally recognized. If you don't read a word, you know what it depicts. And then look at how the boy near the sign is standing. Oh yeah, he knows why he's doing that.


www.baptistwatch.org

This is my favorite one. Fanny pack? Check. Matching outfits for the day (in powder blue)? Check. YMCA symbol on t-shirt (I'm guessing with matching "In The Navy" underwear)? Check. Protesting far too much with lots of gay flag colors and a mention of an album cover (sorry: anal bum cover)? Check and check.

The Patriot Riders are a bunch of thugs? When I got back from my deployment there were about 40 of those guys at the airport wating to escort us back to our base on their Harleys. They have made it their mission to give us the "Welcome home" that they never got (Most are Vietnam vets). I appreciate that bunch of thugs, as do the families of all troops coming home. Dead or alive.

The folks at the wedding, at least, have the ability to respond to the slander and insults levied by the protestors. A dead soldier can't defend himself.

I swear, it was a who's who of trailer trash.

One of the guys actually yelled "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and STEVE!"... At a lesbian wedding. I'm pretty sure he was the stupidest person I've ever seen.
