I really think they are doing a great job at supporting gay equality. Their complete disregard for standard morals (like picketing military funerals) means they have no clout whatsoever IMHO. Most media organizations seem to show them for what they are... INSANE.

Good luck Florida! 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Yeah, even people I know who think homosexuality is wrong think that those people are insane. It's a "stop making our side look bad" thing, which Phelps does very well. Do you find this valuable?

You know if it wasn't for them picking the military fallen I might not even be here. Do you find this valuable?

They came to my town back when I was living in Wisconsin (they were protesting the local university's theatrical production of the Matthew Shephard story)--- No one really paid much attention to them. I guess the Wisconsinites knew just how ridiculous those Phelps people really are!! I hope people in Florida can simply ignore them too. That seems to be the most effective way to handle them. IGNORE them, and they go away!!

If they would stop marrying their siblings and get a makeover it might put them in a better mood......Seriously, they have zero influence and don't deserve the attention that the corporate media gives them.
But then neither does Ann Coulter and she actually sells books.....The world is Crazy!!!
Better yet lets put all of these nuts in detention and force them to watch Richard Simmons 24/7. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I like your sense of humor, Goombah---- but, wouldn't the idea of forcing them to watch RICHARD SIMMONS be cruel and unusual punishment??

Even though I am Sicilian I'm not totally heartless, I did think about the extreme level of torture that I was applying and figured why not share our pain with the people who deserve it?
Thank you LeeDavid, I will pray on this some more and let you know if I will reconsider the Richard Simmons option and show some mercy... Do you find this valuable?

But No Mercy for Ann Coulter, she definitely deserves the Richard Simmons Torture treatment.

This podcast by the hosts Feast of Fools, a gay podcast, interviewing Shirley Phelps is facinating. It provides an interesting view of the opposition.

The difference between Phelps and Coulter is that some people actually listen to and believe in Coulter...... that scares me!!! Do you find this valuable?
