Westboro Baptist Church Petition: 250,000 Sign Up to Label Westboro a 'Hate Group'
The petition was started on Dec. 14 and in less than two weeks has received more than a quarter of a million signatures. The number of people needed to force White House administrators to officially review and respond is just 25,000 signatures, meaning the petition will definitely spark some kind of official response.

 Quoting: sonic doom





The recent petition was sparked when one member from the Westboro group, Shirley Phelps-Roper, tweeted plans to protest a vigil for the Sandy Hook victims to "sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgement."
The announcement disgusted hundreds of thousands who heard about it across the nation, and has sparked people to sign the petition to officially label Westboro a "hate group."

Ephesians 2:8-10 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

We have to get their tax exempt status as a church removed; they are a business plain and simple.

If you support free speech you wont sign it.

You cant pick and choose, either everyone has free speech or none does, where do you draw the line?

As abhorrent as they are, they have a right to be as abhorrent as they like in a free country.

 Quoting: The Scientist


Hunting people down for the sole purpose of harassing and taunting them isn't free speech. It's terrorism.

Where do you draw the line? I'd say when people swarm funerals with "thank god for dead babies" signs a line needs to be drawn.
And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die.

I see you have Python as your sig ;-) excellent taste... however, some people were extremely offended by Life of Brian, would you not agree that freedom of speech means you cant please all of the people all of the time, somebody somewhere will always be offended b y something, once you start censoring peoples views you end up a dictatorship like North Korea.

Too many people have fought and died for the freedoms we all enjoy, you should not give up those freedoms so easily, especially over a few silly people who offend the majority, you should be thankful that in America today, people can get away with that level of offence without persecution by the state.

They acutely have a great scam and are partnered with a full time law firm they themselves own.

The church sues when they not allowed to “properly” protest and the cities have to pay the attorney fees.

You need to graduate law school.
It's a registered law firm.
They sue the public via local government, that's all they do for money, loot the taxpayer for responding to their provocations.

I just got tagged with an abusive post for speaking my mind.

Proved my point. There is no such thing.

No big deal. It was warranted, I said something I knew would get me tagged.

You didn't prove your point though, you're still under the impression that freedom of speech exists when in fact it doesn't. How else do you explain people getting arrested all of the time for something as simple as going off on an obscenity laced rant?
