(CNSNews.com) - A couple who hanged a U.S. soldier in effigy outside their home is the talk of Sacramento, most of it unflattering.
Conservative radio host Mark Williams of KFBK-Sacramento, in conjunction with the group Move America Forward, is organizing a candlelight vigil on Tuesday night to support U.S. troops and protest the anti-war display outside the home of Steve and Virginia Pearcy.
The anti-war display includes a "stuffed" soldier hanging from the eaves of the house along with a sign that reads, "Bush Lied, I Died." A Palestinian flag is draped in one window of the home; and an Iraqi flag hangs in another window.
This is second time the Pearcys have hanged a U.S. soldier in effigy, Move America Forward said. The first soldier held a sign reading, "Your Tax Dollars at Work," but that "soldier" was ripped down last week.
"There are those who will stoop to any level to bring attention to a hateful agenda that undermines our heroic men and women in the armed forces," said Move America Forward Co-Chair Melanie Morgan.
"While the families of men and women serving in our armed forces are praying for their safety, they have to tolerate this cruel display. But those who support our troops and their brave fight against the threats of terrorism also enjoy the right to free speech, and we will exercise that right," Morgan added.
The Sacramento Bee quoted the Pearcys as saying they consider the display patriotic. They call it "political protest art," and they note that the First Amendment is intended to protect unpopular speech -- because that's what needs protecting.

I'd like to create some "political protest art" using the two of them. Just sick.
I would love to support their front window with a brick.
I wonder if the FBI has them under investigation.
That's right. America has always been here. It just fell out of the sky. No one ever had to defend it or protect it from people who would destroy it. Peace is free and weapons are a waste of money and people in uniform aren't needed to protect us anymore because history has ended. Nothing new will ever happen again.
I forgot, there is someone worse than Tom Sullivan, Mark Williams. I'm ashamed this guy is a conservative.
These nutjobs that own the house had the top spot on the local news right before they showed three 'alternative lifestyle' people kissing. Yuck. I think this is part of the continuing process of making their lifestyle acceptable.
Some comments on the same article from the DUmpster.
"I only wish my wife would let me hang one here"
"Free Speech is a motherf***er"
"people are for free speech.... when it's speech they like"

I wonder if the Pearcys are in the same degenerate gene pool as the atheist Neudow?
