Man, oh, man, Fox News’ Griff Jenkins has been making the protest rounds at the DNC in Denver so far. And as usual, Griff likes to mix it up a little with the unwashed masses. I really think he gets a huge kick out of this, proving the preachers of tolerance do not practice what they preach.
Yesterday Fox News’ Griff Jenkins waded fairly, balancedly and bravely into a sea of anti-war protesters (or as he calls it, “this marching… thing”) outside the Democratic National Convention. To his dismay, he found that the marchers did not believe in free speech.
***UPDATE - WBC HAS UPDATED THEIR SCHEDULE LISTING THE NEW LOCATION***
07/17/2008 08:30 AM - 10:00 AM Washington, DC
National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception 400 Michigan Ave. NE Tony Snow (Press Secretary for 6 “B” George W. Bush) is dead, YES! He had a platform, he was given some small talent by his creator. He was an unfaithful steward, and is now residing in hell. Each opportunity he had to faithfully Report what the servants at WBC had to tell this country/world, Tony Snow besmerched and vilified the words of God and the people of God. Thereby being a party to the crime of passing laws to make the preaching of the gospel to this adulterous and sinful generation = criminal activity. That is a very bad monkey!…
Then they’re going to continue on in Maryland:
07/17/2008 11:00 AM - 11:45 AM Baltimore, MD
Federal Court House in Baltimore, MD Hopkins Pl & W Pratt St Since we will be in the neighborhood picketing in Washington, DC at the funeral of a very evil (cut off at a surprisingly early age) scribe of DOOMED america named Tony Snow - we decided to hook up these unthankful brutes in Baltimore with a nice little picket….
***NOTE***
Apparently Fred Phelps saw fit to post a YouTube video about Tony Snow’s death, the vile and disgusting pig he is.
I’m sick to my stomach at this, and really don’t want to give them any more press than they give themselves, but I would hate to think that their planning would go un-noticed and that nobody would respond to stop this insanity. Please… don’t let this come to pass. I know we have freedom of speech, but some things should just not be permitted. This is one of them.
As Laura sat in for Bill O’Reilly tonight, one of the topics was the recent brouhaha at Berkeley, where Medea Benjamin was supporting the anti-war cause by protesting the presence of the Marine Recruitment Center there.
