I for one hope that Host and others like him continue to take the initiative to validate information when it doesn't feel right to them. Why would you insult somebody for doing a little research?
As somebody who got to witness Marcavage and Repent America in action in Columbus, Ohio last summer in person, I would reccommend you take a little closer look yourself, Lebell, before jumping on that wagon. The guy is no Free Speech Activist. They got arrested for one reason - that is what they go to do. They are a small band of people who go from city to city protesting whatever is handy, and have very specific steps they teach new members to engage an unwitting police officer to be arrested on judgement call charges, like a disorderly conduct or failure to disperse. Once they get somebody arrested they call all the papers and tv stations to scream about religious persecution. Oh yeah, then they sue the city who pays them just to go away. That is how they support their "mission". You really think this guy just has the bad luck to get arrested in every city he goes to?
Guess what, if you try to block or disrupt a peaceful gathering that has legal permits for the area, you should be arrested. And that is before you start yelling at families through your bullhorn that Satan loves to fuck faggots in the ass down in hell. Still want to get behind this guy? Let me continue...
They like to bring along with them dead fetuses in a travelling trunk and set up, not at clinics or hospitals, but at major intersections where people are just trying to pick up kids from school and get home to get dinner made. They walk in the street holding up jars and shoving them at anybody they can get to while shouting fire and brimstone. Michael likes to kick it up a notch though, as any good carnival barker would. He takes his fetus out of the jar and carries it around by the head. He's being less disrespectful than the whore who aborted it, is his reasoning when pressed. Charming.
Sadly, that's not the worst of it - but frankly I don't want to go down this road anymore. His stunts are well documented in local papers around the midwest. I appreciate that you feel bashing Christians is the trendy thing to do right now, and you need to protect your rights and stand up for your beliefs. This guy is the church's worst enemy because he is a hate monger in Christian's clothes. Don't take my word for it, there isn't an organized sect that will take this guy in. Did I mention that they picket churches who refuse to house and feed them, shouting into the churches during services that the preacher is the devil and anyone who listens to him is headed for some of that yummy hell ass fucking? Bet that's awkward when passing out collection plates.
Anyway - Host, thanks for keeping the info fair and balanced...
