I consider phelps to be trolling real life. He only has power because people pay attention to him.

Yes, I am one of them. I have sand in my bag, though.

Ok, I'm lost here.

So who all thinks it's perfectly acceptable to protest at the graveside of fallen US soldiers?

And who all thinks it's a measure of scum-baggary for anyone to do something like this?

Just wondering - cause it's not really clear. If you think it's perfectly fine for Fred Phelps and his lot to come in and push/prod at the families of fallen US military, then by all means, say so! Don't hold back! Lend your support!

But if you think that a fallen soldier deserves a decent and quiet burial, then say so as well!

Don't be shy!

Charlatan · 02-01-2008, 01:22 AM

Intense... I don't think a single person here has suggested that they support Phelps and his ilk.

I do. Seriously.

I do not support his views, and I think he is a waste of a person, I don't like the message he sends out, I don't agree with anything this man says, does, believes, and probably even eats, but when his right to say/do/believe is called into question... then we have a problem. Consider me a constitutionalist in that reguard.

Of course when it was written they still had dueling to deal with people like him

Charlatan · 02-01-2008, 08:11 AM

Crack... there is a difference between support Phelps right to protest and supporting what he is actually doing. One position supports the right to free speech and the other supports what he is saying...

What I was suggesting what that nobody in this thread has, so far, supported what he is actually saying.

I am actually a big supporter of the Eastboro Baptist Church

God hates EVERYONE except the Eastboro Baptists. This includes FAGS, black people, every other race except white people, fat people, unattractive people, cancer patients, children, babies, non-Americans, all other Americans except us, Mexicans, immigrants (illegal and legal), feminists, liberals, aborted fetus’ (for they have committed the ultimate sin), the cognitively disabled, scientists, Darwin, environmentalists, Al Gore, Jews, Mormons, Muslims (except for the terrorist ones), people who follow any other religion than our version of Christianity, kittens, etc. --- You are all sinners in the eyes of the almighty God!

Though God’s Hatred for all of those mentioned above is immeasurable, there is no greater Hatred than his Hatred of the Westboro Baptist Church! They are an absolutely pathetic excuse for a “Primitive Baptist” church. They’re so called “hatred” is only skin deep at most, and they have focused their feeble hatred on FAGS, and FAGS alone! Have these sinners forgotten that God hates EVERYTHING? Thus, God hates the Westboro Baptists above all things, because, whilst charading around as the true followers of God’s Hatred, THEY DO NOT HATE ENOUGH!
It is our mission, assigned unto us by God himself, to save your souls from eternal damnation! Jesus is not coming! He hates you too! Through the means of this website, we will prove to you that God hates EVERYONE EXCEPT US! Especially the Westboro Baptists, the false prophets of God’s Hatred!
Abstain, you fools.

I have long theorized that god hated me, this would account for a lot that I have had to put up with, now I have found a church that I can understand!

Infinite_Loser · 02-01-2008, 10:47 AM

I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but I've no problem with anything Fred Phelps does. One can simply ignore him if they don't want to hear what he has to say.

*Shrugs*

It's not hard.

mrklixx · 02-01-2008, 11:02 AM

The "Nomads" are Hell's Angels, and according to Wikipedia:

Quote:

a member of the Angels, sported a new patch after he recovered from attempting to set a bomb: two Nazi-style SS lightning bolts below the words 'Filthy Few'. Some law enforcement officials claim that the patch is only awarded to those who have, or are prepared to, commit murder on behalf of the club.

Or maybe his name is "Smilin' Sammy"

silent_jay · 02-01-2008, 11:33 AM

They should try and protest one of our fallen soldiers in Canada ,I can pretty much guarantee that one or more of them would end up dead, I'd be there to fuck them up, I was born in a military town and the one thing you don't fuck with is our boys after they made the ultimate sacrifice.

I remember 2 summers ago when the soldiers from Pet were in Afghanistan and the media was trying to get a local perspective, on al lthe boys that were dying, they weren't getting many interviews, one got to told to fuck off by me outside a convenience store.

There was some unwarranted shoving, but i think the patriot guard riders restrained themselves quite well given the emotions.

Also, as for the free speech approach...this is why i hate these idiots:

I didn't see any shoving and that totally goes against our mission if there was.
edit: didn't see that there were 3, but the shove seemed to be to get the PGR guy closer to the asshat, not to purposely knock him down. Ok maybe get him off the snowhill....sloppily handled by the Ride Captain.

echo5delta · 02-20-2008, 12:34 PM

One bit of possible clarification on the "SS" symbol shown in the very first picture: that particular symbol has long been heavily associated with Marine Scout/Snipers (Get it? "S/S"). Though it's not officially sanctioned, it does appear on unit t-shirts and signs in the Scout/Sniper community and is pretty widely accepted. There's also the nickname "kopfjaeger", which complements the "teufelhunden" that all Marines are known by.

Not sayin' for sure that the old biker dude with the beard is a veteran Scout/Sniper, and I'm not sayin' that the newspaper editor was angling to get the most inflammatory photo included with the story. I'm just stickin' with what I know.

Also, ngdawg: thank you very much. I know the Patriot Guard is always there and ready to do the right thing in the right way for the right reasons when helping a family remember the fallen. Big ups to you for being a part of that team.

ColtonRosenbusc · 03-05-2008, 06:18 PM

Alot of controversy in this thread. On the WHITE guys beanie "SS BOLTS" seem to stand out quite ovbiously. So i would think that yes it might be for show but yes it is wrong and very ill natured.

It could be difficult to ignore if it was your son being planted...

The beauty of the PGR is that no-one is infringing on WBCs rights at all.

Why would you worry about infringing Westboro's rights anyways?

debaser · 03-06-2008, 09:38 PM

Because they are as inviolate as my own. I cannot infringe upon thier constitutional rights as an individual though, only if I was acting as an agent of the government.

Quoted for truth. And reminds me of a time that I was accused of trampling a member's First Amendment rights after I deleted his post in the Ladies Lounge.

I got a good chuckle out of that one.
