this family brought their kids holding banners with this garbage.. almost brings tears to my eyes to see kids brainwashed and exploited this way.

1. Errr...I think you mean Kansas...

Fuck I hate that guy. I hope a giant hot air balloon in the shape of a pink swastika crashes into his house and kills him and his family..haha

2. looks like the kooky Phelps 'family'

pure Repube family values crowd

3. Well. This is a tough one.

Free speech is for everyone, but hate speech isn't. I'm a card-carrying member of the ACLU, so I feel that you have to protect free speech for everyone--bigots and nutcases included.

4. Shit, I should take a road trip to Topeka while their gone

And "redecorate" their church for them.

5. I'm glad I missed them.

It seems to have been a very small protest group.

Also noteworthy, I see the flag dragging on the ground in one picture, and in another, it is lying on the ground at the feet of a sign holder.

6. WTF?

No one here would look at them twice, they are so insane, but why are they on Sixth? I thought it was all about the HS at Astor Place? From the pix it looks like they are up by Rockefeller Center. Do they think they are going to get to meet Katie Couric?

7. Teaching children to hate is criminal

and should be considered child abuse. I don't lead a sheltered life but, I'm stunned.
