I saw the video on local news - I am glad the community stepped up and made a stand.

[hineybona]

Homeowner sounds like a real trouble maker . Wish he would have shown up while people were removing his disgusting display. Could have been real fun.

real men alert!!!!!!!!!

we freepers might need to help out with attorney's fees if there is any "trouble".......

[MaxMax]

God Bless America.
/Salute for standing up to the Ignorant's, and I'm being nice.

Is the resident any relation to Ward Churchill?

Now all that's left is to take that Nazi Palestinian flag from their window.

[trumandogz]

There's an Iraqi flag in a window and the homeowner also put up a Palestinian flag in the front window, which has his jewish neighbors across the street perplexed. Marque Cohen/Neighbor said "Both my wife and I are jewish we found it very offensive."

I hope the neighbors stand strong against these offensive displays of treason against America.

There was a thread on this situation earlier today which was pulled because of the reactions of FREEPERS, which tended towards violent imaginings. I'm glad to see the neighors took care of it. Link to the video, anyone?

[Tempest]

Stupid, obnoxious, sanctimonious libs don't even live in that house. They just want to be rude jackasses.

If they were my neighbors.... well...

I really hate to make this comment but, someone should check into his financial situation...he may be trying to get his house burned down for the insurance..just my 2 pennies.

[thoughtomator]

I wonder if it constitutes "fighting words".

[SteveMcKing]

Here come the lawyers. Screw FOX, they're probably going to get some parents and veterans in trouble now.

[xJones]

You could bet anything that CBS, NBC, ABC, or CNN would never have carried this story. The times, they are a'changing....

[djreece]

Excellent news! When I heard about this earlier, I was thinking it wouldn't last long if it were near me.

This pious uproar over the Pearcys' First Amendment rights reminds me of something that happened just after 9-11.

A left-conformist professor at U of New Mexico had remarked that anyone who bombed the Pentagon would get his vote. He allegedly had to go into hiding when the remark was publicized.
The usual suspects at my university then introduced a resolution in the faculty senate denouncing these attacks on the NM professor's "right of free expression" etc.

I spoke up, "Free speech, is it? When almost 200 people were killed there? Very well, whoever brings me this guy's head, in a bag, on my desk, by tomorrow morning, will get my vote. That, too, is free speech; or is it?"
There was an audible gasp and the resolution was eventually watered down to a standard renunciation of violence.

Soon the ACLU will arrive on the scene to punish the good deed...

[blu]

This story bothered me. Natch, the homeowner's display was tastless, crude, anti-American, and just plain stupid. Asking for trouble. BUT...it was his property. He has the right to display anything he wants (wait! put your Bics down!) on his property.

And his neighbors have the right to censor what they see. If the guy had put up a swastika, a KKK outfit or (as someone else said) had hung JKF (you pick which one!) who would defend him? Would the libs be as indignant as the ACLU will surely be?

The defense for the crowd's action could be found in the Supreme's interpertation of "obscene"....obscenity is that the average person, applying contemporary community standards...

Sometimes, we don't need the government to take care of stuff for us. Sometimes we can just do it ourselves. So, yeah, the homeowner had the right to put the stuff up, and the community had the right to take it down. Think of it as locking out the adult channels on the TV in the family room.
