    They do know he only played a gay guy, right?

    Are they going to protest Billy Crystal's funeral, too?

    They're both gay enablers, dammit.

    Maybe Billy gets a pass for being attracted to that perky Meg Ryan.

    Why don't you show up and do it then, tough guy?

    Next time they show up at a funeral for one of my relatives, I'll be there. ;D

    Until then, just working to make the concept more socially acceptable. ;)

    Why waist the bones in your fists on these guys? I'd rather stand on the curb and laugh at them (believe me, that will offend them more than any counterprotest).
    And if Fred wants to run over and take a swing at me? Okay, THEN it's go time.

    Uncle Freddie doesn't show up for those things. Bastard is too old.

    I recall once at a soldier's funeral, the Westboro nutfucks showed up, and a soldier ran right at them. He was restrained at the last second, but seeing those fucksticks scatter like scared little pussies was absolutely priceless.

    They claim they're covered by the Constitution, but I wonder if their medical insurance covers broken bodies?

    They were supposed to come to Bardstown, KY, a year ago after a few people died in a house fire. But the fuckers never showed.

    My, that's a lovely accent. G'day, mate. What do you say we put another shrimp on the barbee?

    Thank you, you beat me to it. Fred Phelps and Co. need to vanish. I know I wouldn't miss them.

    I don't think the Constitution covers fighting words. I also don't *think* the First Amendment covers hate speech.

    It definitely doesn't insulate you from people's reactions to your "speech."

    And the day everyone decides to just STFU about them and let them make fools of themselves without commenting is the day they disappear from their increasingly fading relevance.
