100. Again my point is missed...
In my first paragraph I stated, why not pass a bill to ban protests in cemetaries...

then my last statement: Matching anger for anger always works... :sarcasm:

What I'm trying to say here folks, is this: There are better and more constructive ways then using this kind of reaction to deal with phelps and his like.

Having the bikers out there to shout this fool down, only creates more publicity for his protests. This solves nothing.

I never once said that the bikers shouldn't do it, I said in essence: it won't be very effective.

This is why nuts like phelps gain traction with society, right or wrong, he keeps getting himself in the news and that is what he wants.

Until we as democrats/Americans can try something, other than shouting the opposition down to combat these rightwing stooges, this stuff will continue.

I would like to think that we Democrats are much more clever than to resort to more of their type of tactics.

Apparently, it appears we are not.
