I just watched a video on CNN.com that literally made me want to puke. If any conservative ever says liberals hate America again, I will knock them out. What would you think if you heard about a group of people so sick that they drive around the country and protested at military funerals with signs that said
"Thank God for Dead Soldiers And
Thank God for IED's?" Anne Coulter's reaction would of course be that they must be "America-hating" liberals, and certainly not "patriotic" conservatives." Well, perhaps that ugly old maid should read
this story. More on the flip:
DODGE CITY, Kansas (CNN) -- This past Saturday morning I found myself in a five-car caravan cutting across the Kansas plains with about 30 religious protesters. In the back of a truck, there were signs that read "Thank God for IED's" and "Thank God for Dead Soldiers."
I was with the Phelps family. They've launched a disturbing campaign to tarnish the funerals of fallen soldiers.
This is a painful drama playing out at dozens of military funerals across the country. The group is led by Fred Phelps.
He and his family have picketed and heckled military families at more than 100 funerals since June. They say the soldiers are fighting for an army that represents a country that accepts homosexuality.
This is so shockingly disgusting, I don't think it even needs further analysis. Now, what was Ann Coulter saying about liberals again? Oh yeah:
"Liberals hate America, they hate flag-wavers, they hate abortion opponents, they hate all religions except Islam, post 9/11. Even Islamic terrorists don't hate America like liberals do."
-from Slander, pp. 5-6; published June 2002
Ummm, but... Ms. Coulter... please look at what YOUR ALLIES are doing:
Phelps and his family have made a name for themselves by showing up at high-profile events preaching their hate-filled brand of Christianity. They blame homosexuals for the destruction of America.
This past weekend's target was Army Sgt. Jessie Davila.
Davila was killed February 20 in Iraq by a suicide bomber. He served as a Marine after graduating from high school. He returned to civilian life, and had a daughter. But he was always a soldier at heart, so two years ago he joined the Army National Guard and was three months into an Iraqi deployment when he was killed.
Sick, just sick. It's official. Conservatives hate America.
