Radical Homosexuals Trample a Cross, Harass a Granny, Crash a Church, and Threaten Joe the Plumber’s Life
Doug Giles
Saturday, November 15, 2008

Can you imagine what would happen if a gang of angry male Christian activists started shouting down and shoving around some nice old lesbian during a religious rally right after ripping her rainbow pride flag from her hands and waffle stomping it?

How much television coverage do you think that spat of stupidity would spawn? What kind of outrage do you think the gays would gin up over such an inexcusable and pathetic act?

I’ll tell you what would happen: We would see an irate Elton John hold a special Candle in the Wind concert on the old lesbian’s behalf, Lance Bass would host a telethon, Ellen would weep, Brad and Angelina would adopt another baby and Rosie would shave the right side of her head again and again until justice was served and those chunks of corn were convicted and sent to prison.

You and I both know we’d never hear the end of it, and you know what? We shouldn’t because that kind stupid, out-of-whack bullying is bull.

What about this scenario?

Say some dyed-in-the-wool, belligerent backwoods snake handlers sporting crosses, vicious anti-gay fliers and blarin’ Dueling Banjos on a boom box infiltrated a gay soiree, disrupted the event, disbursed their literature into the crowd, performed some hetero sex acts and then threatened those in attendance? Do you think the gay bloggers would blog it and the MSM report on it and both sectors call for the rednecks’ necks?

Fo’ shizzle my nizzle they would.

Indulge me one more scenario: Would it be cool if a conservative Christian talk show host called for the death of some gay dude named Joe who simply campaigned for a month for president elect Barack Obama? Would that be cool? You and I both know the answer to that question would be “H” to the no—it would not be cool. That guy would be Imus’ed so fast his head would spin. His days of talk radio would be over.

The above three supposed scenes would be publically condemned, the perps would be captured, convicted and imprisoned, their names would become proverbs for our populace, and the nation would be put on notice that if Christians take their disagreements with homosexuality to belligerent, disruptive and life-threatening levels that their butts will be imprisoned.

It seems as of late, however, that gays can do the above junk to Christians and get a pass from certain cops and the mainstream media.

Yep, just this past week a 69-year-old woman carried a Styrofoam cross in support of traditional marriage into a pro-gay marriage march in Palm Springs and within seconds had the cross ripped from her hands and stomped on, and then the homosexuals began to shove her around and curse her out. You can watch it on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_ZvPR09N4Q. If Christians would have done that to an old gay lady they would be currently in the Palm Springs pokey waiting to make bail. No arrests were made. Can you say, double standard? I knew you could.

From that crap we move to Lansing, Michigan and last Sunday’s protest inside the Mount Hope Church by the rabid gay group Bash Back. These winners entered the church along with worshippers and surprised the congregation when they stood up during the service, threw fliers and condoms at the congregants, pulled the fire alarm, made out in front of the church by the pulpit and shouted slogans such as “Jesus was a homo.” No arrests were made.

In light of this Mount Hope Church event I’ve spoken to several pastors across the nation who have wisely beefed up their security in case the protests/threats turn violent. Matter of fact, if I was a radical gay activist I would really think twice about barnstorming churches and threatening their members.

Then we come to one Charles Bouley, queer activist and talk show host on San Francisco’s (where else) station KGO who on November 1st angrily said on the air that Joe the Plumber was a “G** D*** M-F’er” that he wanted dead! At least he got fired this past week. However, I’m sure he’s inking a contract right now for a gig on a new station to keep hate alive.

Again, if homosexuals got the above from Christians the media and the cops would be on them like a duck on a June bug.

My advice to the MSM is this: If I were you, I’d cover it and condemn what the gays are doing to Christians and their Churches or it’s going to get worse—way worse.

And lastly to the radical gay guys, do you really believe that this kind of belligerent behavior is going to make Americans capitulate to your cause?
Who came up with this strategy? Was it the same guys who thought that Clear Pepsi would be a real winner?

If anyone is actually assaulted in any event, they should be arrested, media or not. And there are A-holes supporting gay marriage as well as those against it. What a shocker. :roll:

BTW, did you actually watch the outrageous video of the 69 year old woman being attacked? I can't get your link to work. Would anyone be surprised if such a video doesn't exist?

I agree on both counts. The shocker isn't so much that these things take place. This is a very emotional issue for a lot of people and these things happen. They shouldn't, but they do. Any reasonable person knows that most gays are peaceful people who wouldn't condone such things, just as most people against gay marriage aren't bible toting, skinhead, toothless, ignorant rednecks who jump at any chance to beat the crap out of gays. No, the shocker would be if this issue, and many others, were treated fairly in the media.

I'm sure everyone remembers the Matthew Shepard case and how it was treated in the media for weeks on end. I don't remember where, but does anyone remember that a couple of weeks later two gay men kidnapped, raped, tortured and murdered a twelve year old boy? Probably not. Both were despicable acts that most people, gay or straight, wouldn't condone. In both cases, the muderers were brought to justice. But why was one treated as a national tragedy and the other ignored? Why is one stamped in our conciousness forever yet few people even know about the other? Think about it. All I want is some fairness in the reporting, not just on this issue but any other. Let me see the good and bad on both sides. I'm a big boy, I can take it. All I ask is that the media quit trying to shape my mind and how I feel and act based on how they think I should feel and act.

Oh, I get it. A video that shows gays acting like animals must be part of the evil right wing conspiracy. It must be the concoction of the aforementioned right wing crazies, made up to make gays look bad. :roll:

Yes, it exists, but given where you seem to get most of your "news", I can understand why you've never seen or heard of it. :lol:

It exists, but she's hardly the sweet little old lady, clutching her cross as your article suggest. Apparently she deliberately went into a noisy, but peaceful demonstration waving her sign in their face. I never did see the cross. The cops were called, but had not responded when the video was shot. That doesn't mean they didn't arrest someone. And the media did report it, so your title is simply incorrect.

As for threatening Joe the Plumber's life :roll: , the Alaskan State Trooper at odds with Sarah Palin has had to be pulled off the street because of threats on his life. The Secret Service says threats against Obama are much higher than threats made on past President-Elects.

And as for hate radio/TV stations, I'll give that award to Conservatives. Limbaugh, O'reilly for example, preach hate on a regular basis and have outstanding ratings.

And you don't? your hate for the very America that allows you to sell 51% black beef as ANGUS is total deceit, and you hate for McCain and Palin proceeds you in every post, even it they are not true! You hate the very freedom that allows you to spout you garbage, Yet you use that freedom as a way to HATE HATE!!!!!

Doubles standards in ranchers political,go figure.... :roll:

What about the Westboro Baptist church,those members have barely had thier fingers slapped. The media seems to candy coat and mostly ignore the absolute pure hate this group promotes.

Extremes on any side is not a healthy outlook on reality.

Canada's take on this group
Church members enter Canada, aiming to picket bus victim's funeral
Last Updated: Friday, August 8, 2008 | 2:57 PM CT Comments965Recommend847CBC News
Members of a fundamentalist American church group planning to stage a protest at the funeral for a Winnipeg man brutally killed on a Greyhound bus have managed to enter Canada, a spokeswoman told CBC News on Friday.

Canadian border guards are under orders to prevent members of the Westboro Baptist Church, a controversial Kansas-based sect, from entering the country.

The group intends to picket the funeral of 22-year-old Tim McLean to tell Canadians his slaying on July 30 was God's response to Canadian policies enabling abortion, homosexuality and divorce and remarriage.

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church wave protest signs outside funeral services for a soldier in Iowa in 2006. (Charlie Neibergall/Associated Press)Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day's office sent an alert to border patrol to "look out" for people with signs and pamphlets consistent with the messages that the church promotes and to keep them out of the country.
Shirley Phelps-Roper, daughter of church founder Fred Phelps, said a group of church members was turned away from a border crossing at Niagara Falls, but a small group did manage to get into Manitoba overnight.

"They were looking for picket signs and they were looking for leaflets. Well, we don't do leaflets, and the picket signs, you know, Fed Ex ships them overnight," she said.

However, Phelps-Roper said the reaction the group has raised from some police and public officials has her questioning whether the planned protest will go ahead.

"The question to my mind [is] whether or not we ought to get them the heck out of that country, because that's some crazy stuff when you've got your officials talking like they are in a back-alley brawl and not government officials who took an oath to obey the law and so forth."

Phelps-Roper said she would advise church members not to go ahead with the protest if there is a concern they might be arrested or harmed.
Counter-protest planned
A counter-protest against the church's picket plans was launched on the social networking site Facebook on Thursday.

More than 700 people have since joined the group; postings indicate they plan to form a "human wall" around the family to shield them from the church protest, if it takes place.

Winnipeg NDP MP Pat Martin said the group should be "sent packing," and should not try to show up in Winnipeg "for their own safety."

"We're not going to allow these people to compound the tragedy of the McLean family loss, and Canadians simply won't tolerate these lunatics disrupting what should be a respectful service," he told CBC News on Friday.

"Your freedom to swing your arm in the air ends when it touches the end of my nose," he added. "What these people were going to do was hurtful, harmful and disruptive to the peace, order and good government that we guarantee to our citizens, so they have no place in this country."

Hey Canada :clap:

Happy Memorial Day! What better way to mark Memorial Day than to protect the respect and honor our fallen heroes so deserve? That is exactly what President Bush did today when he signed this bill into law. There is a time and place for protests, and a funeral should not be one of them.



President Bush marked Memorial Day by signing a bill that keeps demonstrators from disrupting military funerals.

Before heading to Arlington National Cemetery for a wreath laying and speech, Mr. Bush signed the “Respect for America’s Fallen Heroes Act.”

It was passed mainly in response to a Kansas church group that has staged protests at military funerals around the country.

The group says the deaths in Iraq and elsewhere show that God is angry over U.S. tolerance of gays.

The law prevents protests within 300 feet of the entrance of a national cemetery.

Even as Mr. Bush signed the bill, members of the Kansas group stood about 300 feet from the entrance to Arlington.

They held signs that read, “Thank God for dead soldiers,” and “‘Bush killed them.”

A conservative group supporting the troops stood across the highway, holding a large sign calling troops “American heroes.”

Gov. Rick Perry signed a bill earlier this month that authorizes an immediate ban on protests at military funerals in Texas.

It was also drafted with members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan. in mind.

Church members protested earlier this year at the funeral for a solider in Temple.

“There is a time and place for protests, but it is not at funerals and burials for U.S. soldiers who died to protect the freedoms we hold so dear,” Perry said as he signed the measure.KWTX
