Filthy Phelps Update

An addendum to this post.

Here's audio of the County Attorney outlining the charges against Shirley "filthy" Phelps Roper. Audio link is in the right-hand column right underneath the picture.

Media Player required, and it doesn't work with Firefox, so here's the print gist of it for those who can't listen.

Polikov has filed charges against Shirley Phelps-Roper after she had her 10 year old son trample a U.S. flag while her group from the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka protested at the funeral of Nebraska National Guard Specialist William Bailey. Along with charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, flag mutilation, and disorderly conduct; Polikov is considering whether to file child abuse charges for having her children at a protest that he says could have developed into a volatile situation.

2 They remove children from enviroments detrimental to their health. Wait until other kids at school find out about this.

3 Hammer the bitch.

Only if your intent is to hammer the First Amendment as well. Given the choice between respect for teh flag and respect for the Constitution, I'll take the latter.

Wait until other kids at school find out about this.

You think this Klan of inbreds sends their kids to public school. I'd lay my paycheck on their being home schooled.

4 Rhymes with Right,

You can kiss my ass moron. I spent six years in the US Army Infantry so
assholes like you can have the freedom to talk trash and I would dare
dream of harming the First Amendment.

Now, with that said, go fuck yourself son.

5 RWR, go listen to the audio interview that I linked. The interviewer asks if this infringes on the First Amendment, and the County Attorney explains why it does not.

6 Off subject but a funny happened in Alabama today. Dem Sen Barron called Rep Sen Bishop a SOB. Wrong! Sen Bishop punched him out right on public television.

7 RWR: You may be correct about home schooled but you're wrong when think people can disrespect the symbol of this nation in public. Our difference is you seem to think people should be allowed to do this. Whereas I believe they should have their asses kicked. Assholes do things such as this because people don't kick their asses.
 
 
 
 
Of course this crap goes back to religion again. And religion must be free to express itself. Eight year olds stomping on flags, 12 year olds cutting off heads. Aaaaaaah!

8 I still don't understand just what this so called church is protesting? And why are they doing it at funerals. Sounds a bit Goulish to me. I thought only south Mississippi Baptists were nuts. They keep voting the county dry. Which means I break the law. Everyday. A lot. I fact I'll have another right now. My way of protesting against religious nuts who wish to run my life.

9 Immigration bill fails crucial test vote



By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS, Associated Press Writer 2 minutes
ago



A broad immigration bill to legalize millions of people in the U.S.
unlawfully failed a crucial test vote Thursday, a stunning setback that could
spell its defeat for the year.


The vote was 45-50 against limiting debate on the bill, 15 short of the 60
that the bill's supporters needed to prevail. Most Republicans voted to block
Democrats' efforts to bring the bill to a final vote.


The legislation, which had been endorsed by President Bush, would tighten
borders, institute a new system to prevent employers from hiring undocumented
workers in addition to giving up to 12 million illegal immigrants a pathway to
legal status.


Conceived by an improbable coalition that nicknamed the deal a "grand
bargain," the measure exposed deep rifts within both parties and is loathed by
most GOP conservatives.


Senate Majority Harry Reid (news, bio, voting record), D-Nev., who had made
no secret of his distaste for parts of the bill, said earlier he would move on
to other matters if the immigration measure's supporters didn't get 60 votes
Thursday night.


The defeat set off a bitter round of partisan recriminations, with
Democrats and Republicans each accusing the other of killing it.


Most Republicans voted against ending debate, saying they needed more time
to make the bill tougher with tighter border security measures and a more
arduous legalization process for unlawful immigrants.


All but a handful of Democrats supported the move, but they, too, were
holding their noses at provisions of the bill. Many of them argued it makes
second-class citizens of a new crop of temporary workers and rips apart
families by prioritizing employability over blood ties in future
immigration.


Still, they had argued that the measure, on balance, was worth
advancing.


"We can all find different aspects of this legislation that we differ
with," said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, the leading Democratic
architect of the
bill.

13 Dick -- what an appropriate name.  I could care less about your military service (in this context) when I can point to a half-century of US Supreme Court precedent upholding the right to do precisely what this bitch has done.  As disgusting as her actions are, they fall under the rubric of constitutionally protected speech.

Greyrooster -- clearly you say the inane stuff you do because no one has kicked your ass recently.  Let me volunteer to supply you with the remedy for your offensive speech -- perhaps I can even kick the fear of God into your sorry ass.  Oh, you suddenly wish to take refuge behind the First Amendment?  Too bad -- your previous comments pretty well destroyed it.  And by the way -- I don't think the Phelps Klan SHOULD be able to do this stuff, but rather that they are allowed to by our Constitution.

And Vinnie -- the prosecutor is wrong in his analysis.  What he proposes does not even rise to the level of a heckler's veto -- it is actually a "hypothetical heckler's veto".  I'm curious -- what higher office does the prosecutor in question aspire to?

Might i direct all of you to <a href="http://rhymeswithright.mu.nu/archives/229306.php>my fuller analysis of this case?</a>

RWR,

That's the point you fucking moron. You don't care unless the subject suits your cause.

Once again, go fuck yourself you little trash talking twerp. You're
gutless, spineless, and don't have a clue as to what it takes to
perserve those Amendments. Nor could I imagine you ever placing your
chickenshit ass in the grass to do so.

You're a fierce warrior with a keyboard, otherwise you're a coward.

Posted by: dick at June 08, 2007 09:32 AM (XlQVK)

15 Let me guess -- you got a dishonorable discharge.  If you didn't, you should have, because you clearly never took your oath to "support and defend the Constitution of
the United States" seriously.  Indeed, your words here reveal you to fall in the category of "all enemies, foreign and domestic", along with the Islamists, twoofers, and garden variety anti-American Leftists.

Posted by: Rhymes With Right at June 08, 2007 09:59 AM (WnP2X)

16 And I cannot help but notice, that you are completely lacking in logical argumentation, but instead rely on profanity and insults.  Could this be another indication of your threatened  masculinity, as previously demonstrated by your website's false advertisement of your sexual adequacy?

In other words, why don't you rebut me on the facts?

Posted by: Rhymes With Right at June 08, 2007 10:05 AM (WnP2X)

17 In other words, why don't you rebut me on the facts?





What facts? There are none that you've presented other than taking a lame ass shot at my name.

(Wow! That's never been done before, loser.)

Anyway, here's my point. The bitch should be hammered for her parental
skills, nothing more. She has the right to do whatever she wants to
with the flag and unlike you, I'll defend her right. You simply came
into this conversation and very boldly claimed I didn't.

You lied, outright. I have no use for a liar.

Now, once again asshole, go fuck yourself.


Posted by: dick at June 08, 2007 10:16 AM (XlQVK)

18 As I pointed out, there is a half-century of Supreme Court precedent upholding her right to do as she did, and to have her son do so.  I even tried to provide a link to a much longer discussion of why these charges are bogus.

Let's try that link again.

And let's remind you -- if she and her son are engaged in Constitutionally protected activities, there is no basis for her being "hammered" for her parenting skills -- unless you wish to argue that holding the wrong religious views (and you don't get much more wrong than the Phelps Klan) or engaging in the wrong speech is a basis for losing custody of your children.  That would would be an assault upon the First Amendment as well, which is the only way your position can be interpreted.

Posted by: Rhymes With Right at June 08, 2007 12:03 PM (P98ei)

19 After reading your post, I agree with your stance, for the most part.

Still, please don't ever even remotely believe or insinuate that I would assault the First Amendment.

Not. Gonna. Happen.

What grade levels do you teach?


Posted by: dick at June 08, 2007 12:23 PM (XlQVK)

20 RWR: You couldn't whip the ass of you little sister. You know, the one you've been molesting all her life. Always available for ass kissing. Where, when? Got any money twerp? I like to place a wager on these ass kicking contests with punk assed fairies like you. Just bring it on. Have gun will travel.

Posted by: greyrooster at June 08, 2007 12:26 PM (WxzhO)

21 Darth Fag: You are pissed of at the Bohemian club. I can see why, since you are not good enough to get in the front door. You couldn't even get on the prospective list.  And you know it. If you dress properly and say yes sir often enough we may allow you in the back door to clean the toilets. But don't expect to much. It's seasonal work. Of course if you are a nappy headed ho. The deals off. Don't need no Al Sharpton types mixing with their betters. 

Posted by: greyrooster at June 08, 2007 12:35 PM (WxzhO)

22 OK, dick, I'm all for burying the hatchet here.  Let's just write it off as over-heated rhetoric.  My apologies for my part in it.

And for the record, I have two different teaching jobs -- the main one teaching world history to tenth graders, and my part-time gig teaching American Government on the college level.

Posted by: Rhymes With Right at June 08, 2007 01:18 PM (+Vw0Y)

23 Rooster -- that would be your sister, as i don't have one.

And I'll be willing to put 9 dollars on our fight -- one for each millimeter.

Posted by: Rhymes With Right at June 08, 2007 01:20 PM (+Vw0Y)

24 RWR, works for me. My right hand is extended and you have my apologies.

Posted by: dick at June 08, 2007 01:25 PM (XlQVK)

25 If you watch all the BBC guy's series of videos on youtube (obviously you have no life either) you will see an incident where someone hurls a filled container at the crowd of protesting morons - it hit the boy in his head. That incident set a precedent and if they still bring the kid to those protesting lovefests then that my friends is reason enough to have her children removed from her care. God help that poor kid.

Posted by: tbone at June 08, 2007 05:18 PM (HGqHt)

26 Actually, someone should make sure the prosecutor Polikov is made aware of that video as it may help strengthen any child endangerment case. I'm gonna see if I can't contact the guy, damn I feel for that poor kid.

Posted by: tbone at June 08, 2007 05:29 PM (HGqHt)

27 RWR: So you're the only bitch in your family. Figured you would punk out.
 
 
 
 
And go out and get a real job asshole. Hiding in academia because you're not man enough to hack it in the competetive world shows what a sissy you are. Just another brainwashed academic nerd. Nothing more.
