How far do you think their first amendment rights would stretch?
Actually thinking today about the protesters that were arrested at the peaceful protests last week against Wal-marts exploitation of its workers.
What happened to their first amendment rights?

I, for one, would love to see them sue somebody for harrassment and have it thrown out due to freedom of speech.
I don't know about legal harassment, but here's some run-of-the-mill harassment! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w35M8ViyNs

As a former soldier for the USA. I do not agree with their views, but if they want to protest, let them. It is a freedom, which I have fought and defended for.

They are real life trolls to me. They earn money from taking the idiots that react violently to court. They are the WBC, but they are also lawyers.

The best thing to do with the WBC and people like them is to ignore them, an agenda without an audience is like a play with no audience, "dead." Yes they are an irritant at best, I personally dislike what they do, but if the media and all others would quit giving them attention they would go away. People looking for attention to boost their egos seldom survive being ignored.

The thing with the WBC is that they're doing far more to turn people away from Christianity than anything atheists could even begin to think up. Of course, most Christians play the "they're not true Christians" card, but they really do sour the public on religious extremism and intolerance. If anything is going to make the general public sympathetic toward gay rights, it's all these idiots running around with "God hates fags" signs.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Their just bullies, ignore them and they go away
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
