Did I say their free speech shouldn't be protected? It really shouldn't be, but it has to be. No way around it even though the court is dying to find a loophole.

There will be no loophole and it should be protected...They will win the case. It never should've gone to trial to begin with.

They should get no police protection for their rallies and let the chips fall where they may.

What they do is tasteless, disgusting and completely vile to anyone with any legitimate sense of what activities a civilized society should conduct.

However, they're going to win this case. The appeals court threw out the ruling to give the deceased soldier's father 11 million dollars for intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy. I think it's very hard to believe the Supreme Court will overturn that decision.

The most nauseating part of the NIghtline story is when those two assholes scoffed at Terry Moran for even mentioning that they protest at the funerals of men and women who fight to support the right they so willingly use. Talk about circular logic.

when speech is shown to clearly hurt others, it is not protected, I believe in the 1st Amendment but I think they cross the line. The emotional trauma they cause the families of slain heroes is certainly not what the founding fathers had in mind. Yes, much speech is crude and disgusting...that's protected but yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theater is not.

Obviously on a technicality, but I think you can see the difference between the two

Incorrect. Hyperbolic speech is always protected...."God Hates Fags, God Loves Dead Soldiers" is hyperbolic. Again, they will surely win this case.

Yeah the government, big oil, blackwater etc. eat that s.hit up. It's a card used to censor objectors so these a.ssholes can continue lining their pockets with bogus wars that do ANYTHING but protect our freedoms.

ding,ding,ding...we have a winner. forget about the fag talk......if any of you bothered to listen to the lady that agrued for them (and she won). thats their whole point...its not about fags or hate.......they are pointing out the fact that our soldiers are dying for all of our sins......being gay is just one....greed, violence and imperialism are some of the others...they have no class but they do have a point...as long as we accept these illegal wars...we are all guilty. the government and media don't want it spun the way it really is and as usual most drones will eat up the media version. sure thats what God would of done....he would of blown the hell out of Iraq....lol....ok...throw hypocrites on the list too....lol
