    Default That's right, keep it classy part 2

    See the right-wing Westboro Baptist church display against Obama's inauguration. (Scroll down a bit for the signs).

    Considering the Satanic rituals of the Westboro baptist cult, I wouldn't call them right-wing. They really seem to hate God. They're in a league of their own.

    If so then there are an awful lot of right wingers, who say the same stuff, who are not right wing.

    Maybe so, but righties usually don't thank God for 9/11 like the Satanists at Westboro do.

    Not a great comparison.

    It's not a comparison. Different elements of the right hold beliefs with different levels of extremity. The WBC folks are just pretty far along the continuum.

    Not a valid comparison to the booing of Ryan. Dig deeper, squid, into your barrel of muck to try to find something.

    They certainly hate Obama for supporting Gay Rights, and the gay-haters are pretty much all T-baggers. I've just always thought of this group as a gay-hating, God-hating, America-hating group of sick individuals.

    And most of them masquerading as people of faith.

    Standing outside a cemetery, holding signs and screaming that God killed your child because of gays or Eddie Munster looking, bat crap lying Ryan getting booed??

    It is/was a fringe group. Maybe seven members in attendance? The booing of Ryan, by a partisan crowd, affected the dignity of the festivities

    Defending a Satanic cult, I should expect as much from a support of the T-bagger movement.

    The Westboro folks and their signs were not a part of the ceremony; the boos of Ryan were. Do you really wish to equate the general crowd attending Obama's swearing- in with the Westboro group???

    Defending? I said they were "fringe"--not worthy of notice.

    Certainly more numerous than the Westboro group. Look, squid, I'm going to bed now. Got to get up for work tomorrow. Work--you should try it. As it is, i work to pay taxes to keep you in food stamps and Sec 8 . Since I'm keeping you alive you could at least be grateful. Adios!

    If you only knew how wrong you were about that.

    Affected the dignity of the festivities???? What about calling the President a liar in Congress by Joe Wilson? Decorum be damned.
