I think Fred Phelps should have the right to install the Shepard memorial

[jmowreader]

Fred Phelps keeps going from town to town claiming that the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech gives him the right to install a huge stone monument claiming that Matthew Shepard is in hell because the Book of Leviticus says lying with mankind as with womankind is an abomination.

As a lover of free speech, I thoroughly agree that the good Reverend should have every right to take over the public commons with his soul-winning message.

And as a fellow lover of free speech, I'm certain that the good Reverend agrees with me that I should have the right to rent a forklift, scoop up the Shepard memorial and drop the fucking thing in the river.

1. Why do that...

A better Idea is to rent a crane and drop it onto his "church", I like that one even better.

4. On Phelps' site is a picture of him at his altar

It is astonishing how much Phelps' sanctuary resembles the living room of a trailer.

5. Sure...as long as the whole fucking Phelps clan is inside.

Sure, why not?

7. That's what I'm talking about!!!!

Put the whole clan inside, drop the damned thing on their heads, and let them feel what hell is really like.

2. hate speech / fighting words not protected...

I think Mr. Phelp's monument represents, either, if not both, of those.

A plague on his house (and genital areas).

6. I think a branding iron

on his genitals my do the trick.
Just a little fire and brimstone :)

I Believe That Fred Phelps Has The Right...

...to shove that monument up his ass.
