#1 Mr. McQueary clearly has the right to express his message in a nondisruptive manner...

He does have that right. The problem is, he wasn't doing it in a nondisruptive manner. That is the problem.

#2 It's inconceivable why anyone would want to protest at a military funeral while family members are there."

Indeed it is "inconceivable" and yet another new low for the lefties and the ACLU. These protest people should suffer a good Texas horse whipping. I suspect that would put an end to it.

#3 I can't think of a more worthy target than the ACLU. I would personally gladly run over anyone working for that bag of sleeze artists. Why we tolerate this cancerous group is beyond me. They should all be sent one-way to Saudi Arabia as Jewish "financial advisors".

#4 I can hardly wait till they announce a victory they've secured for NAMBLA.

#5 When will the ACLU grasp that there is difference between "opinion" and "informed opinion"? They seem to insist not on the freedom of expressing an idiotic opinion, but the acceptance that such opinion is correct.

That nutbars whose "feelings" have been hurt are victims who must be heard and obeyed? Reduced to this - sounds like the UN. Time's up. No useful purpose served here.

#6 NAMBLA.... what a sad, sad commentary on America.

#7 ACLU supporting a group whose message is "God Hates Fags"?

I'm coming to th conclusion that the ACLU doenst care about civility or the law, all it wants is to allow the worst elements of society free reign, while 2facedly suppressing tons of others.

They block the 10 commandments but want peopel to be able to use bullhorns to yell "God Hates Fags" at a soldier's funeral?

How would they handle it if Phelps group went to every AIDs death funeral and did the same thing?

I dare Phelps to show up in San Fran and start hassling AIDs funerals with their bullhorns and chants. They'd get a whipping there the likes of which they never imagined, and I doubt you could frind 12 people in SF that would convict them.

#8 These nutballs DISRUPTING The funerals of Soldiers are very bad.
This kind of insulting demonstration of ignorance and intolerance at a person's funeral are degenerate.
At the least one should point a firehose at them.
I think if they looked harder the ACLU might be persuaded that in fact, the sick-minded protesters are violating the religious freedoms of the relations and friends of the service person,
by disrupting and insulting the dignity of the religious observation of the funeral.

#9 I also don't believe the ACLU really cares about the Law. What they have here is a chance to poke the Military in the eye and if some families gat hurt, tough noogies. The ACLU, the Enemy of the State.

#10 And none of y'all caught the irony in a man named Mr. McQueeary protesting with "God hates queers" supposed-Christians, lol! Man, when are we going to get rid of the ACLU and the UN? I'm almost willing to ignore the illegal immigration issue, if we could just do away with those 2 groups from our shores.

#11 Isn't it "traditional" Kentucky custom (which must be respected under multiculturalism) to take tree branches and beat the bejesus out of funeral protestors and their legal consul? Run em out of town tarred and feathered. Sure there's precidence somewhere...
