I find SEIU thugs every bit as repulsive as WBC.
So do I. In fact, in terms of the SEIU’s usual operations during elections, they’re far more damaging to the country than the WBC people who focus on annoying and hurting grieving people at funerals with the hope of inciting physical confrontations so they can sue (most of the WBC clan leaders are lawyers). By and large, the SEIU and their related UAW, Teamsters, public employees unions and ACORN ilk are far more damaging because the reach of their evil is so much broader. But in terms of single acts of pure malice for no perceivable purpose, nobody can match the WBC. When I picture that Shirley Phelps in my mind, I see a genuine witch oozing evil with the fires of Hell licking around her horrid face.
I don’t know if the Thrive group is SEIU for sure, but their behavior at the Memorial was not as bad as what we would have seen from the WBC had they shown up instead.
I think it’s apples and oranges.
