His frivolous lawsuits and provoked arrests aside, he does have the right to do and say what he does.

Dunedan, I realize that people don't agree with this nutcase, and I am staunch in my belief of defending free speech. Speech is always taken away from the extremist groups first in the name of public interest/safety, which is why we are stuck protecting them. I was the only person between him and a very large man in a very pretty dress when he was burning the gay flag for the cameras. You think they would start making those things non-flammable...
There is a difference between free speech (your beliefs) and public disturbance and inciting riot (hate and intolerance). Mikey is careful to teach his drones to walk the line of legality while doing everything he can to get anyone to take a swing at him. So, protest all you want, but when your protest is simply to inhibit anothers freedom (ex. laying down in the road in front of a float in a parade) you've lost your right to demonstrate. Likewise, we should be protected from him sticking a dead fetus into the face of young children. Is that the type of speech we are hoping to protect? If only it was a female breast we could get the government involved. Why doesn't he feel these laws that protect him apply to him? He keeps his Bible in his baby free hand to give himself entitlement. You guys should look into doing something about that.
- Bottom line is if you think it's ok for someone to come into my backyard and try to push his beliefs on me, don't raise even an eyebrow when he ends up at your house next.
Oh, I don't know who Phelps is, thank God (!) I only know this joker because I got to catch his act and a buddy of mine was a cop who shared the briefing they had on him with me.
