		<description>There are, it is said, two places with no zip code, and they both begin with H. One has a long hot summer with no ice cream, and the other has a long performance of dinner music, with no dinner. Surely this match was made in one of them, and may the happy couple enjoy their honeymoon forever in whichever place it is. In either event, we shall be shut of them.</description>

		<description>Westboro doesn&#039;t have the kind of money it would take to buy advertizing time on Limbaugh&#039;s creep show.  Judging by their past record, their ads would probably violate every FCC regulation there is regarding content.  The airwaves are not the streets.  Fred doesn&#039;t have a constitutional right to spew hate on the airwaves.</description>

		<description>This is a smear piece, the God hates Fags group doesn&#039;t have funds to advertise on national radio shows. Rush doesn&#039;t support G H F groups point of view. Your organization is hard up for news spreading this story. Here&#039;s a tip crazy Islamic man shoots French military members, and clips 4 Jews. Look into it.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m certainly delighted to learn that all one needs to consider when assessing his political persuasion and his attitudes regarding equal rights is his party affiliation. It makes it so simple to disregard all that extraneous and meaningless fluff like his actions and his words. Wow, I&#039;m really dumbfounded to realize that I&#039;d missed this obvious clue. The problem with this approach is that it is both intellectually dishonest as well as intellectually lazy.</description>

		<description>Westboro Baptist is not a Christian group.  It has been suggested that they are a propaganda tool of the government.  

I realize it may soon be illegal to say this, but God does not love those who willingly choose to flaunt their sin in rebellion against their Creator.  These people pervert the Scriptures by claiming it says God approves of them just the way they choose to behave.</description>

		<description>“Like the ACLU, SPLC takes the view that only liberals can have free speech.”

Please note that the ACLU filed a brief defending Rush Limbaugh against invasion of privacy in Florida in 2004 when state officials illegally obtained his medical records. This was even reported on Fox News. As I am sure you are aware, Rush was not a liberal at that time. 

He has a right to free speech as well, however, slander is not protected by the first amendment.</description>

Please show where they have stated this.

You mean the same ACLU who defended the rights of Neo-Nazis to march through Skokie, IL?</description>

		<description>There have been any number of false-flag candidates. In my own state, I voted for the Republican candidate for Secretary of Ag because: (a) the &quot;Democrat&quot; had neither farmed nor had any connection with food prodection or agricultural land use; (b) he was making damned strange noises for a &quot;Democrat&quot;. He lost the election, and a couple of months later was unmasked as a Teahadi.</description>

&quot;Stupid liberals, little do you realize that Fred Phelps once ran for public office…. AS A DEMOCRAT!!!&quot;

If you are indeed &quot;All knowing&quot;, why is it that you don&#039;t know that anyone can go in and register as a member of a political party whether they are of that party or not? They can also file to run for office as a member of that party, as Randall Terry did in Oklahoma. Phelps did not win as a Democrat and neither did Terry. Had either of them won- then you could say &quot;stupid liberals&quot; and it would be deserved because it would have shown that people did not know who they were voting for. But since neither of them made it any distance as Democrats, then I would have to say they were the stupid ones and perhaps you fit under that umbrella if you think that their running proves anything other than that?</description>

		<description>Jason! You&#039;re back!

Tell us again how the Holocaust was invented in 1991 to cover for the fall of the Soviet Union, and please provide the citations and proofs for this theory!

Then tell us again how Norman Rockwell was a closet Nazi!

And how you are superior to W.E.B. Dubois because of the melanin content in your skin!

The tumbrels await!</description>

<p>Tell us again how the Holocaust was invented in 1991 to cover for the fall of the Soviet Union, and please provide the citations and proofs for this theory!</p>
<p>Then tell us again how Norman Rockwell was a closet Nazi!</p>
<p>And how you are superior to W.E.B. Dubois because of the melanin content in your skin!</p>
<p>The tumbrels await!</p>

		<description>&quot;Fred Phelps is a registered Democrat.&quot;

I love this example of conservative idiocy.  So and so was/is a Democrat!! He must be a liberal.  The concept of looking at a person&#039;s actual values and behavior and comparing them to the usual values and behavior of each party never happens.  Just look at the D or R behind their name.</description>

		<description>If Rush was a true Conservative, he would stay away from bedroom issues and stick to economics. Very simply, he profits from inflammatory speech. I would like to mention the time, between marriages, he was caught by US Customs with Viagra in an unlabelled container after returning from Costa Rica on his private jet.</description>

		<description>This is an interesting issue in terms of free speech. As revolting as I, personally, find The Westboro Baptist Church, I fully support the US supreme court decision to rule in their favor concerning the right to free speech. 

In the 80s it was Larry Flint who was testing the boundaries of free speech. If Larry Flint had free speech in the 80s -- so did you and I. Times have changed and it is now the Phelps gang who are testing the outer limits -- and the ones who have taken the issue to new levels. 

If you find Hustler magazine offensive, then don&#039;t buy one. Problem solved. What about the freedom to picket high-profile events including funerals publicly with offensive messages? In these cases it&#039;s not as easy as simply not purchasing material that you don&#039;t like. In this day and age -- if Fred Phelps has free speech, so do you and I. 

So, Jason, up there ^ -- I think it&#039;s clear that I do not want to silence anyone. I can state just how stupid Limbaugh and Phelps are, but stating this obvious does not take away their right to spout their idiotic hate speech. 

Remember the Sex Pistols of the late 70s? Those guys would have traded limbs to be half as offensive as the WBC.</description>

		<description>Jason, every time I read one of your posts, I am struck by the fact that you seem to be completely ignorant of what liberalism is all about and the pride you take in being voluntarily ignorant.  This site is moderated.  If we liberals were so interested in preventing free speech and silencing the obviously superior right, then I might suggest that you posts would never appear here.  A fact that you seem to have missed.

But then, having the freedom to speak one&#039;s mind is not necessarily coordinate with one having the ability to actually think, is it?</description>

		<description>SPLC believes in free speech.... Yeah right.  That&#039;s why you encourage your readers to take any action they can against the people you categorize as haters.

Like the ACLU, SPLC takes the view that only liberals can have free speech.</description>
