And they go to hell for protesting at a funeral. Nice move dumbasses.
Heath Ledger is now in Hell and has begun serving his eternal sentence there.

Who is this Gibson fellow that I should care what he says?

Presents himself as some sort of newsman:
And apparently has penned an autobiography and his war memoirs:
Alright, so he wrote a book and they let him on Fox News. Doesn't give him enough credibility in my view to care what he says . . .
Eran, you're on the left in American politics. This means you should be obsessed with Fox News in a way few conservatives are. (See JR for a real liberal on this issue) You aren't up on your Fox News anchors? For shame!I don't really know who he is or anything about him either. But then, I'm a conservative who doesn't watch Fox News.
I'm on the left? Here I thought I was in the middle . . .
Actually, the only person in real life I know who watches is my conservative roommate. But I suspect that they have about as many liberal viewers.

Not mIRC!!!
That makes it even funnier.
They sure are oddly obsessed with homosexual acts or even the possibility of it, given their film tastes.
Meh, Gibson trying to yuk it up on a radio show doesn't change a thing.
Traitor!

I look kinda queer and I "deny" God; Hell it is! 
I can't imagine why you put the word "deny" in quotation marks; I think it is fair to say that if you don't believe in something, that in a sense you deny it. Maybe just me.

It's quite simple: we don't think the government should silence them, however, we do believe that part of the freedom of speech is being responsible for that free speech, and if you're protesting a military funeral, perhaps you should expect a punch in the face from the family of the deceased.
Truly defending free speech means prosecuting the facepuncher.

I'd say prosecuting the facepuncher more falls under enforcing assault laws.
I still disagree. As satisfying as it may be, I cannot condone what said hypothetical facepuncher does.
There are better ways than violence to combat truly repugnant ideas. The ancient Greeks had a great one that can be adapted to suit the needs of a righteously offended party/society such as Heath Ledger's family or the families of the slain military personnel.
Of course, we need not literally "banish" people, but by popular agreement we can utterly exclude these freaks from all the benefits of participating in tolerant society.
Let their faces be known by all and recognized.
Let them be infamous and hated.
Let them have no friends or well-wishers.
Let them not be served in restaurants or hotels.
Let them be turned away from every decent establishment.
Let their every misfortune be met by cheers from everyone around them.
If the WBC cannot be ignored (as they have repeatedly demonstrated), then let them be infamous and despised. Freedom of speech implies freedom to judge, and as they have judged, let them be judged.

Hmm . . . I am in favor of allowing "transparent discrimination" - if every business in the US announces that these people are not welcome, I have no problem with that.
