You gotta love her calling the Iowa legislative people 'taliban' - who are a group that would silence her quickly and permanently for a display like this - just clueless. One can protest the war and the involvement- but to do this to the families of slain servicemen, is just unconscienable. I just sincerely hope this woman and her following seek some help -- as I could see this ending up very ugly somewhere -- yikes.

Instead he'd rather use these riduculous people for his own gain. Criticizing the westborough church is like shooting fish in a barrel - anybody can do it. Even sean hannity. Bully for him.

Originally Posted By cmpaley >>t I consider phelp's gang to be more closely aligned with the right wing kook<< Yes, they are much closer to the right wing than the more reasonable center.
Originally Posted By vbdad55 there aren't too many right wing kooks as you refer to them that are looking to stop the war -- but if it makes you feel better, put them on whatever side makes you more comfortable..and either fringe represents nut jobs to me... maybe Cindy Sheahan can invite them down to her new 5 acre parcel of land in Crawford - ...and Michael Moore can make a movie out of the event....

They say the soldiers are fighting for an army that represents a country that accepts homosexuality. " They really are extreme right-wing nut jobs - so far right they protest the war because the soliders are fighting for a country that "accepts homosexuality." As someone once said, ultimately the extreme right and extreme left tend to circle around and meet each other.
