Miner's Memorial to be Protested???

[Lady's Human]

MM-

I listened to a radio interview with one of the execs from the corp. They were upset with the release of false info that the miners were alive (as Corinna said, the media was listening in on the communications and ran with a story from a garbled transmission rather than get confirmation), but could not see any tactful way to correct the information until the were absolutely certain of what was going on. They admit they blew it, but are arguing (IMHO correctly) that the media blew it by running with an unconfirmed source.

The twits who are protesting the funerals have changed tacks to other than military funerals as there is a group of bikers who have organized to block their protests at military funerals.

That's awesome . . . just wish they could stop EVERY protest. Seems like every "cause" these people have is hurtful & moronic.

I find that bikers number many veterans, and those who support the military. Have you ever seen Rolling Thunder in DC on Memorial Day?

I think it's awful that people use sensitive situations like this to push their agendas.

That is awful. I'm speechless, really.

Ugh I hate groups like this one - they make Christians look bad. They obviously don't read the WHOLE bible, because they got the wrong message and are actually sinning against God because they are judging others. The verses they quoted are completely taken out of context, and they don't know God very well. In addition, it is obvious that they hae never read the New Testament. I am so angry that they portray God this way...

They're all ignorant trash as far as I'm concerned. I haven't heard or seen anything about this so I'm thinking (and hoping) the media didn't pick this up on the wire.

Don't these people have anything better to do with their time?

[RICHARD]

actually,

I am glad these people are out there in the media.

The ones you have to worry about are the morons hiding in the shadows.

----------------------------

One thing that I worry about is these morons goading someone to "take action" against them-trust me, as stupid as these people are, there is someone out there that is stupider, that really takes exception to their protests and will have no qualms about running a car into their group, doing a drive by or pulling some other stunt.

Then you will see all the ACLU lawyers coming out of the landfills looking for "freedom of speech" rights for these bozos....

Ah, America!

Richard . . . You definitely have a *different* way of looking at things. I'll have to ponder that one for awhile.



And in the mean time, I think they're all pretty low.
