Does the Westboro people have to apply for permits to perform their protests like everyone else?  Or are they special?  Just curious.

"The bill is patterned after an Ohio law that establishes a 300-foot protection zone around a funeral location from one hour before the event until one hour after it. The Ohio law was recently upheld by the Sixth U.S. Court of Appeals, which made Arizona lawmakers confident their proposal is constitutional."

This is beginning to sound more premeditated than just a deranged person going off.

"TUCSON, AZ - The 22-year-old man accused of trying to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in a deadly shooting rampage wrote "Die, female dog" in a note found at his home, a sheriff's official told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Investigators believe Jared Loughner's handwritten message was a reference to Giffords, Pima County Chief Rick Kastigar said. It was found in a safe alongside other ones, including "I planned ahead," "My assassination" and the name "Giffords."

FIFY. 

Does this writer not watch Olbermann, Matthews, or Madcow or listen to Garafalo, Franken, et. al.?

Yep, let's lay this mantle all at the feet of conservative pundits because there are none so outrageous on the left.

But I forgot,  this board belongs to the posters who only follow the talking points of the right. 

I think there is a fair representation of both left and right unless you are ready to step into the Pacific Ocean.

Excellent news.

Does it bother anyone else in the least that the State of Arizona thinks it can dictate in which public places Phelps and his clan may or may not spew their filth?

These jagoffs from Topeka suddenly made me selective about who should and shouldn't have free speech.  I mainly cheer on a law like this because the Westies are doing nothing more than exploiting the amendment with complete absurdity.

Fred won't think he's so clever about the time Satan tells him to bend over for eternity and introduces him to his very gay cellmate.

Dude, it sounded pre-meditated from the git-go, or at least within hours of the shooting.

I hear you, and I feel pretty much the same way. I'm just disgusted by my reaction. Freedom isn't free. Part of the price is freedom for everybody, even if they're sick and twisted like the Phelps clan.

Stay classy, Mama Grizzly.

Remember what the term "Blood Libel" infers....considering Rep. Giffords is Jewish.

Thanks Guido,  I have been put in my place by the master.    BTW,  my brother in law agrees with every word you share,  sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.   But I forgot,  this board belongs to the posters who only follow the talking points of the right.  I was going to be rude but decided that all of the hate talk that I dislike need not be inflamed by my own personal opinions.   I do try to keep on open mind and read and listen to those who have a different opinion than myself.   Maybe I can learn something.   

Back to the topic of this thread,   I have tried to follow the Arizona legislature,  did they get their rules on protesting at funerals passed,  I sure hope so.  The families do not deserve to be confronted with the Westboro garbage during this time.   My prayers go out for the families and friends of the Tucson Massacre at this time.   

I don't think its Palin's "we reload" comments that set someone like this off.  Its the general, if they pass <insert law> then the United States of America will be destroyed.  Day in, day out there is are people on Fox news telling them that they are destroying everything they know.  If the taxes go up 3% it is the end of America.  The world will be destroyed.  Etc Etc.  Just look at what happened to Judges  http://articles.cnn.com/2010-01-04/justice/judges.threats_1_marshals-service-federal-judges-report?_s=PM:CRIME

Probably...I'm sure our resident Palin-droolster will accuse me of PDS.

Whoever wrote that statement for her did a pretty poor job of vetting it.
