unfortunately, the computer im on doesnt allow me to view most videos, this one included.
also, everyone know that black conservatives are merely uncle tom's and oreos, at least according to liberals. he was probably tricked into being a conservative since he's obviously not smart enough to think for himself.

Vernon Robinson is a black man. He's also so conservative most REPUBLICANS don't want to be seen with him. He's the black Rev. Jim Phelps.

He is black? Sorry, I stand corrected. He doesn't look black in the video (maybe it is time to change the video card). To classify him as extreme would be an understatement.

he didnt seem nearly as bad as phelps on his website. true, he's against homosexuality, but phelps takes things to a new level.
also, phelps is a good friend of the clintons.

During Bill Clinton's presidential campaign, Fred Phelps Jr. and members of Westboro campaigned for Gore, though simultaneously attacking Hillary Clinton. In January 1993, Fred Phelps Jr. and Betty Phelps-Schurle were invited to the inaugural ball in Washington, D.C.[23]
In the ensuing years leading up to Clinton's second presidential campaign, Gore and Clinton took stances increasingly in favor of gay rights. Consequently, Westboro turned against Gore, who nevertheless invited Fred Phelps, Marge, Fred Jr., and Betty back for the 1997 inauguration; they responded by bringing the entire Westboro congregation to the White House and picketing on the front lawn during the ball, [24] with signs proclaiming that Gore, Clinton, and both men's families were going to Hell, not necessarily for their stances on homosexuality, but because they had "betrayed" Westboro. [25]
In 1998, Westboro picketed the funeral of Gore's father, screaming vulgarities at Gore and telling him "your dad's in Hell." [25]
Westboro signs with political messages have read:
* AL GORE FAMILY VALUES (with a cartoon of two men having anal sex) [26]
* GO HOME (with a cartoon of Bill Clinton)
* BABY KILLER (with a cartoon of Hillary Clinton)
* BABY KILLER (with a cartoon of Bill Clinton)
* *** GORE
Some friends they are.

I got an invitation to the inaugural (learn to spell, dfarr) ball in 1996. It wasn't because I knew the Clintons (though I had met President Clinton and interviewed him); it was because my wife had given money to his presidential campaign. It seems just about anyone who donates more than $500 to a political campaign gets such an invitation; it doesn't mean you are "friends."
I didn't go, but I did keep the invitation so I could claim I had a personal invitation from the president. Big whoop.
And while on the topic of Phelps, that scumbag, fake-Christian, hate-monger who is more likely than anyone I know to burn in hell, was in Kirksville on Sunday, protesting the funeral of a local 21-year-old Marine who had died in Iraq. More than 10,000 locals (given we only have 12,000 people in the city limits, that's impressive) lined the streets from the funeral home to the cemetery so the family's view of the protesters would be blocked. I was among them. It was a moving experience. And to hear Phelps' family shouting the things they were shouting was difficult to hear. If I carried a gun, I'd probably have started shooting them.

yeah, some of his people came to my hometown to protest a funeral a few months back.

now that i'm home and can watch the video, i liked the commercial. personally, im not for a flag burning amendment. thats just about the only thing i can disagree with in his commercial.

Those scum who go to military funerals and yell offensive stuff at the family need their asses kicked, old school style. I can do the first amendment thing and defend their right to speak without much problem, but when a family is burying someone who gave his or her life serving in the armed forces, that's over the line. They shouldn't have to put up with that crap.
Kirksville, the ten thousand people doing the decent thing renews my faith in true American family values.

It was one of the most moving things I've ever witnessed or ever been a part of. A bunch of Freedom Riders showed up too. They surrounded the protesters everywhere they gathered and made certain no one could see them. It was incredible.
07-12-2006, 10:37 PM
Yeah, I'd heard that the Freedom Riders have made it their business to try to protect the families from those jagoffs. Good for them.
