I think if anyone really ASKS themselves whether they would be having this conversation in a well-lit room occupied by people we care about, the answer would be “no.” When we’ve gotten to speculation about the personal lives of non-elected strangers, the answer is “no.”

honestly.

In the meantime, the you-suck-more beatings continue.

And it isn’t my fault that Phelps is a Democrat.

“However, I think picking on someone else’s little kids — for any reason — is shameful. “

Let’s be clear on one thing PM. El Som made this partisan in the original post. The original post is not one of condemnation. It is one of equivocation and taking something that has nothing to do with political parties and making it partisan, starting in the title.

Your scorn of the Republicans on the thread falls short of credible in light of those facts.

I’m deeply ashamed that anyone professing concern for our future would behave in such a way, and in as far as my goals may overlap theirs, I sincerely apologize.

But beyond that, it ought to be presumed that decent people oppose the actions of the Fred Phelps Klan, just as we presume that decent people of all political stripes are opposed to burning a cross in the front yard of the new black family in town or painting a swastika on the local synagogue. That you sought to tie the deeds to Republicans again showed rank dishonesty on your part, and so it was important to point out the strong Democrat pedigree of these scumbags.

But my bona fides on this family cult are clear to see from my links. Nothing has changed in my attitude towards tehm — beyond, perhaps a deepening of my revulsion towards them and their tactics.

But interestingly enough, PM, you still find yourself unable to explicitly condemn this assault upon the children of our troops by your ideological soulmates. I’d have to say that speaks volumes, based upon your standard outlined above — as does the silence of the rest of the DL contingent.

It was a FUCKING disgrace what this group did at that school and the hate they so often spew from the mouths attached to their evil-stricken heads. Who, honest to God, gives a rats ass what damned party they are? SERIOUSLY! Get the eff over that shit already and agree, which I think every commenter on this thread truly does, that Phelps, Westboro and anything willfully linked to them are opportunistic, self-glorifying asswhipes that truly couldn’t give a rat’s ass about heaven nor hell, so long as their world view is imposed on every living thing, from human to microbe.

STFU already about who is more to blame politically. THEY, THAT EFFING GROUP is to blame! Sheesus!
