If the quote is true, this pretty well nails down the WBC as attention whores who are solely about money.
They will go to the highest profile funerals to strut their filth, no matter what the circumstances are.
Animals.
Actually, with the passing of this bill, I'm finding it peculiar that the ACLU or some other leftwing moonbat legal group isn't challenging it.
Legally, is this not extortion as air time is expensive ??
When a group agrees to not cause mental anguish to a grieving family [IF ] a radio station agrees to give them free air time to spew their agenda. Sounds like the old mob protection racket that still goes on today.
They will leave people alone as long as they receive some kind of compensation be it 3 cows, a packet of money, or free air time.
Shame on the radio station who agreed to this, had they said NO, it would have placed the Phelps family between a rock and a hard place. The Phelps last need was to back up their threats and attend the picketing of that funeral. They are very selective on the funerals they attend, I bet they research the family members and comunity to insure they will not be facing someone crazed with grief.
This group has bluffed it's way out of a big time bad corner, they jumped in and told the world they would picket a child's funeral, then the outrage that caused them to realise that if went through with this there was no way that they could do this and be protected from the outrage and they would be lucky to get out alive.
Conveniently a radio station stepped in to help them out by giving them some air time.
As I have said before these people have powerful friends, all their money does not come from lawsuits, unfortunately there are people out there that for what ever reason helping them in their quest to continue to be Vampires real live vampires out to cause misery for money.
Shame on the radio station who bailed them out of the hole they dug, the radio station is to be shamed for enabling these people to continue their hunt for victims.
