    Are you saying she was not briefed by the school about her speech beforehand? She was given leeway and then she began proselytizing and witnessing.

    That was an excellent link, GS. How the hell did you dig that up? I've been searching for more information on this matter but have come up empty. It would be interesting to learn if it went to court, and how it was resolved.

    And who has control of such things? Nonetheless, back to Phelps, As it turns out, the guy has quite an interesting past.

    With his passing, they seem to be looking for someone to take the helm. I've watched several YouTube videos that try to catch the same fire and brimstone, but they just can't reproduce his passion. The only one who comes close is Shirley Phelps.

    In this case, the school. They didn't want their event to be used as a soapbox for Christian apologetics, and that's their right. That girl can post to her blog, put videos on Youtube, even stand on the street corner and testify to strangers; there's no one telling her she has to shut up, they're just saying she can't do it here.

    So? Doesn't change that he was a hateful little monster.

    Oh, and Ana Kasparian is fine.


    Well, here's hoping they all suffer some horrible tragedy and they never get the chance.

    For whatever it's worth, sorry your hero died.

    I think they're colorful and true to their beliefs. I appreciate the fact that they have the strength to stand up to an openly hostile public and speak their opinions. Now, I'm not a religious fellow, but have a pretty good idea that they are, in fact, acting on what they understand to be god's word. They just might be one of the few true Christian groups out there.

    "Colorful" is an absurd euphemism for what these scumbags are. And true to their beliefs? What, exactly, makes that a virtue?

    Strength? They seek this attention, Bowser. This is precisely what they want.

    So they should be commended for acting on their god's behalf, regardless of what that act is?

    Oh, so now we're playing the "true Christian" card?
