I'm guessing the parents and family of dead soldiers probably have a hard time "tuning them out and getting on with their lives" when they show up at the funeral protesting.

Turns out that they never showed up. However, plenty of counter-protesters did thankfully.

wow - awesome.

i'd like to think that WBC's failure to show is possibly a tide turning for them, but alas, i think they'll show their hate somewhere else.

These lunatics have the First Amendment behind them. Glad they were no show, probably menacing some other poor Military family

Issue before the Supreme court: They heard the cast October 6th, waiting on their findings.

Of course not, but the only reason they continue with these protests is because the media continues to cover them.

I think they continue with them because they are insane.

That's common for them. they publish their appearance schedule and then pull a no show. But they get many worked up which seems to serve their purposes.

As much as I do not usually agree with these so called BbBbbBBbbBaptists (excuse my stuttering)., I agree we should almost always allow anyone hateful or not and agreeable or not to say and state whatever they want to say. By the same token if someone got incensed at these clowns and things got physical, well that can be allowed too. Hate is never any crime. Suppression of free speech is.
