O yeah, these guys are the absolute scum of the fucking earth, I'm just saying I don't particularly like the idea of the government telling everyone who a "hate group" is and who isn't.

A hate group is an organized group or movement that advocates and practices hate, hostility, or violence towards members of a race,...
seems pretty cut and dry to me

extended definition: ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation or other designated sector of society. Say for example the Occupy movement had gained more traction, and became an actual threat to the current system. The government could list Occupy as a group that "hates a designated sector of society" and immediately discredit and neutralize them.

Apparently what the real purpose of their protests are is to cause people to do harm to them or somehow "infringe" on their 1st amendment rights. Therefore, they sue and win a big settlement. Therefore, $$$
I'm normally not one to suggest violence in a situation like this, but it would be wild if some guy flew off the handle and gunned down the entire picketing group. Guarantee any future picketing would cease.

lol, practice hate. I was a natural hater, but with the extra hours I've been putting in, I really feel my hate is starting to reach the next level. I can reeeaaally hate on some people now.

This petition thing is such a cluster fuck. Perhaps we can get the death star to blast the church.

Why isn't anyone beating the shit out of theese people while they're protesting???
Seriously if this was going on in Denmark (and probably lots of other countries) there would be tons of people fucking up every single one of their protests.
C'mon America....
