Don't they have noise abatement laws preventing this crap around hospitals? Maybe they can't hear inside, but why do patients who are coming and going have to listen to this b.s.?

I'll wait for Bill to explain what's really going on.

Phelps was not given a warm reception at the funeral the for Sgt. Gary Reese in Ashland City, TN. Police kept them a great distance from the location of the service and local media blurred out all of their faces and signs thus rendering them rhetorically impotent.

Six Meat Buffet is on the case.

as is the The Tennessean

There's actually a very good reason why "conservative-leaning Cybercast News Service " are the only ones reporting this story---because it's a complete and total lie, and CNS is a paid propaganda firm working for the GOP.

The protestors at Walter Reed are demonstrating their support of the troops and their disgust at what the Iraq war has done to the soldiers.

All you're doing is parroting a vicious lie from the GOP smear merchants. How could I expect you to do any less?

Yeah. I believe it. I mean, nothing cheers me up going into the hospital like seeing rows of cardboard caskets on the sidewalk.

I can think of a better reason why this story isn't being reported - there are only half a dozen protesters and some crude signs.

On the other side of the street are some counter-protesters with equal numbers.

The only thing notable about this story is that it's happening outside of a hospital.

I've seen pictures of the protesters and signs outside of Reed, so I'm a bit confused at what the lie might be, besides the one Don Myers is trying to pass along.

Don, the only one believing lies are you and your idiot friends. Lying to yourselves isn't supporting the troops.

Just for the record, I find the idea of protesting outside a hospital in poor taste. I hope this story doesn't get covered, because I don't want to see the jerks protesting gain any sort of personal satisfaction from the attention they get.

Attention is as important to the anti-war protestor as patchouli. And that's saying something.

Hey, Don Meyers,

If the so-called protesters wanted to show their support for the wounded at Walter Reed, there are plenty of ways to do so through organizations like Spirit of America. Problem is, that doesn't generate camera time!

It's political, and it's nasty. Delude yourself all you want about GOP paid news services and selflessly protesting, all-so-caring activists. It's shit, and people aren't blind anymore to it. The descriptions of these so-called protesters brings to mind nothing more than opportunistic political operatives hoping to score points.

It's probably giving the DU crowd a nice little collective boner. Go bury your head in the sand, Don. And if you feel the air running out, don't come up.

Awww, lookie! Don Myers got tired of getting his ass handed to him over at Say Anything, and decided to come get a beatdown from the AoS crew! Isn't that sweeeeet?

Folks, if it's any consolation, his interest in this site will die down after a few months, the same way it did concerning Say Anything and before that, Wizbang!. He's a blogroach of the third order, being neither smart enough to troll intelligently, nor dedicated enough (common failing among Leftards) to troll persistently. He's an ephemeral little buzzing fairie troll, and if you beat him about the head enough with the +5 Flyswatter of Logic, he'll find other haunts.

Whups, sorry about that. What the hell is wrong with the comments, anyhoo? They take forever to post to.

I heard some idiot Mutt and Jeff team on Air America last week referring to Fred Phelps as "One of those right-wing wacko preachers."

Turns out he's a registered Democrat who hosted fundraisers for Gore's senate campaign and sucked up to Sadam Hussein.

The other thing I find irritating about this story ...and the reason I believe it gets attention from the “MSM" is the emphasis on the protesters as a "church" (9 times) ...Anything that tarnishes (or can be misused to tarnish) the image of the Christian church is always good for a mention just the same as every politically incorrect misstatement by a republican.

Phelps is a Democrat. Did the story mention that?

He even helped Al Gore (I'm sure Al Gore had no idea what a moonbat this guy was.)

I've always found a nice casket display to be a real pick-me-up in the morning. Puts real spring in your step and sparkle in your eye.

Trust me - the Pinkers know what they're doing. Really...

Crap. I've only got a +4 Flyswatter of Logic....

Guess I better level up. I swear, I'll never take Lawful Druid again. It's made me a wuss.

I mean, for crying out loud, I get a club. No bladed weapons allowed, no! A friggin club...

I know 5-year olds who've moved beyond clubs. Does it not suck to be a Lawful Druid?

brownshirt, squatch, bowen, aaron, and john:

Y'all seem to think that if you call me names, no one will notice that you've based your entire arguement on a press release from a GOP public relations firm.

And i love the way y'all reflexively bring up the Phelps/Democrat thing---as if discrediting one democrat invalidates the entire, ever-growing anti-war movement.

That kind of relgious fanaticism is pretty much par for the course with you boys and girls.

Hell, Don. We call each other names all the time. If the relatively mild words used in this thread have you in a tizzy, one of this site's flame wars would have you in the fetal position, sucking your thumb. And we like each other.

At least you're now acknowledging a protest exists at Walter Reed (or no longer denying it) instead of griping about right wing lies and such. What the posters here are saying is that we feel protests outside of hospitals full of wounded soldiers are wrong, no matter how "respectfully" they're done. The guys in the hospital beds know full well the cost of war. They don't need to be reminded of that cost by half a dozen people with posterboard, markers and too much time on their hands.

This is an interesting comment you made here. Are you saying you believe Fred Phelps to be part of your "ever-growing anti-war movement?" If so, then pardon me for saying this, but you might want to think about shrinking your tent just a little bit.

Hey Don, Fuck you. I served w/ Kevin Pannell when he had both of his fuckin' legs. If you find that fake caskets say "I love you" for wounded soldiers, I guess it's OK for me to question your patriotism. Fair enough asshole?

Hell, don't mention that Stormfront has joined Cindy Sheehan, or his wee little microcephallic noggin will explode. Poor poor Don Myers. I've never seen him make an intelligent comment, or even one that slightly resembles reality.
