FREE SPEECH vs. HATE SPEECH, HARRASSMENT, TRESPASSING, DISTURBING THE PEACE.

Rev. Phelps and his clan can say anything they want to within distance to cause a disturbance at funerals of fallen soldiers it becomes harassment and there is a law against harassment, disturbing the peace and hate speech. They should get a restraining order against this clan restraining them from protesting within 100 yards and disturbing the peace of a funeral.

A funeral is a private ceremony and attended only by invitation and Rev. Phelps and his clan are funeral crashers spewing hate speech.

He can do and say whatever the hell he want within a certain distance but the line is drawn when it becomes hate speech, harassment and disturbing he peace of a funeral without violating his First Amendment Rights. There is a laws that prevent harassment, hate speech and disturbing the peace.

The First Amendment needs to be amended to make what he is doing a crime without violating his free speech rights. We owe that to our fallen heroes.

Rev. Phelps and his clan were a 1,000 yards away and no one from the funeral even knew about this until the news reported it. Rev. Phelps and his clan know how to play the media like a fiddle. People like you are dangerous because you are stupid and emotional.

Fred Phelps is a Democrat in good standing. Even ran for the obligatory office a few times.

Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over.

So what? His stance on homosexuals and God is 100% Republican bible belt (remember Republicans Rev Pat Robertson and Rev Falwell blamed 9/11 on God punishing us for allowing gays and abortions). In any case there protests are a non-issue. I read an account where these people actually never protest anywhere near funerals or the like - its all BS designed to get publicity for them. The SC ruled 8-1 in favor of their right to be protesting.

So? He's a Democrat in good standing. Why doesn't he change his party affiliation if his views are out of the mainstream for Dhimmicrats?

Ask him, nimrod. Maybe he is a Democrat to annoy Democrats? Clearly his views are in line with Republican values on homosexuality and God's wrath.

That wouldn't make him a "Democrat in good standing" as Rudgear insists.

Of course it does. Were the DNC outraged by this man, they would have run him out. They haven't.

You can't kick someone out of a political party and he lost his elections so the man was repudiated via the ballot box. Trying to smear the Democrats for this is like saying Republicans are bad because serial killer Ted Bundy was a Republican.

Make that Republican in good standing.
