The latest right wing wacknut

To shame who Michael Shepard was as a person, a minister from Kansas is planning on erecting a monument in Wyoming (place where he was killed).

It will state "Matthew Shepard entered Hell, October 12, 1998"

What a sick f*ck.

3. Perhaps they could use the recent Supreme Court ruling as a precedent

Perhaps if the city passes an ordinance banning hateful speech like that, they could remove.

For example, Virginia passed a state law banning cross burnings. It was upheld by the Supreme Court because it was deemed offensive.

4. A sad, horrible little man

Why must we have to endure people like that?

5. Sad part is he got $15,000 plus overhead from

ppl for this piece of shit.

6. Reminds me of an old line...

A guy makes his first trip to the big city. He flags a cab, hops in and immediately starts bitching to the driver.

"This place sucks! It's filthy, the people are rude, it's noisy...yeah, this city is the asshole of the world!"

To which the driver replies..."And you're just passin' through."

This minister is building the door to hell, huh? It probably leads to a little windowless room beneath the rectory.

7. How could anyone be so hateful?

And still call himself a man of God? Sickening.

8. Reaction formation.

Hatred covers up unacceptable feelings he has inside. He was taught that being gay will end you in hell, then when he has such feelings he needs to deal with them, so he insists that gays are sinners... that keeps his feelings unconscious. Some day they will creep out and then his "hell" will be living with himself.

9. There were amusing pictures though of his

Church picketing Bush's ranch in Crawford. I don't know if they're still up though.
