Mother's Day gay hating mom gets Slushee poured on her in front of news cameras. [View all] catbyte May 2014 OP

The sign lady is a serious hot mess. CurtEastPoint May 2014 #1

GACK. Not surprising. She had that smug, glazed eyed look of a True Believer. catbyte May 2014 #2

I see that her husband is leaving her Cirque du So-What May 2014 #13

She's getting some serious pushback (not for the faint hearted) on her fb page, there.... MADem May 2014 #14

Can't see any of it. I'd have to "like" her or add her as a friend in order to do that. calimary May 2014 #75

I didn't "like" her--she must have changed her settings. MADem May 2014 #86

She must have changed it to private a few hours ago... Violet_Crumble May 2014 #93

Some of the people were really getting personal with her.... MADem May 2014 #115

But she has a great flower garden. How did she ever get a concealed carry permit? Nobel_Twaddle_III May 2014 #64

And... 2naSalit May 2014 #70

Now it's oozing out in a public way Oilwellian May 2014 #111

Yet another POS! She's lucky she just got Slushee, some gun toter might have done RKP5637 May 2014 #30

Ok, that is a character, and I don't mean it in a good way nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #33

She's made it private already jmowreader May 2014 #120

Technically, that is assault. HooptieWagon May 2014 #3

i need to grow up i suppose, i was cheering on the girl in the red shirt while watching this. m-lekktor May 2014 #4

It's pretty hard not to get fed up with their BS, and IMO they get way too much of a free pass to RKP5637 May 2014 #35

hurling a slushee onto someone isn't just "expressing displeasure". It is assault. KittyWampus May 2014 #5

Absolutely! Eye for an Eye makes the whole world blind LynneSin May 2014 #7

I mean....you know.... Jeff In Milwaukee May 2014 #9

+1 nomorenomore08 May 2014 #15

And, to be honest, most of if got on that heinous sign. catbyte May 2014 #89

so do you believe in free speech or not? Are you against bullying or not? Pick a lane. KittyWampus May 2014 #92

Yep. n/t Skip Intro May 2014 #20

As much as the message this woman was displaying was disgusting... LynneSin May 2014 #6

Yep, well said! It might feel good, but in the big picture we look worse. n/t RKP5637 May 2014 #36

I disagree minivan2 May 2014 #68

Who's "us?" A woman got pissed at her and threw a slushie at her. MADem May 2014 #87

No it's not. But trust me - the news channels will make her the face of progressives LynneSin May 2014 #90

But Lynne, the actual face of progressives was as usual, absent. Straight folks who claim to be Bluenorthwest May 2014 #101

Who knows? The bottom line, though, is we can't live in fear of what assholes think. MADem May 2014 #116

agreed, 1,000% nt magical thyme May 2014 #97

that is battery and is a crime arely staircase May 2014 #8

Sorry, but I really don't care what happens to people who treat others as subhuman. nomorenomore08 May 2014 #16

Wow, physical assault for people you disagree with? Classy! nt Logical May 2014 #18

Someone hates you to the point of desiring your extermination, and you're supposed to be all nomorenomore08 May 2014 #19

LOL, polite? How about not physically assaulting them? Wow, get it yet? nt Logical May 2014 #22

Was the woman severely injured? Will she have lifelong medical problems, or PTSD? nomorenomore08 May 2014 #23

WTF is wrong with you? A sign is not a reason to assault someone. nt Logical May 2014 #24

I guess I've just had it with spiteful, self-righteous folks who hate people just for being born nomorenomore08 May 2014 #25

Feeling like doing it is different than doing it. nt Logical May 2014 #31

You're right about that. And I do think I need to get a grip on my anger issues. nomorenomore08 May 2014 #34

That is true, but I sure know what you're feeling. I'm really fed up with creepy bigots. n/t RKP5637 May 2014 #37

Some people just dont get it. Separation May 2014 #76

And to think Gandhi and MLK never used violence even when they were treated subhuman LynneSin May 2014 #99

And they were giants among men. Virtually no one would deny that. nomorenomore08 May 2014 #121

Their approach seems to be the more successful LynneSin May 2014 #125

Physical violence and rhetorical resistance are sometimes blurred... Gravitycollapse May 2014 #41

pretty sure that isnt what the relevant statute says. nt arely staircase May 2014 #43

Law is simply a means of obtaining justice. Which means law is subordinate to justice... Gravitycollapse May 2014 #48

I'm pretty sure that argument wouldnt work in court arely staircase May 2014 #51

Without question, my argument would crash and burn in court. Gravitycollapse May 2014 #55

her "action of resistance" was a dick move. check out the guy with counter sign downthread arely staircase May 2014 #58

Now stunts like this are really going to help end bigotry. Brigid May 2014 #12

Well, I think she's got more trouble than just an ired person with a cold drink... MADem May 2014 #21

So the Slushee was her just desserts? jberryhill May 2014 #77

Well, one could look at the event as an opportunity to enjoy a cold beverage. MADem May 2014 #110

at this point I would say she has a mental issue snooper2 May 2014 #102

She has an odd right to be a hateful bigot--at least to a point. MADem May 2014 #113

maybe she's taken a page from Phelp's book. Be outrageously hateful in public KittyWampus May 2014 #124

She was practically inviting someone to attack her. Terra Alta May 2014 #38

it's different because Obama is a public official Terra Alta May 2014 #52

"she deserved what she got"... egduj May 2014 #65

the difference is that this woman is an instigator Terra Alta May 2014 #67

and someone else was just a slut who wanted to get laid and get sympathy magical thyme May 2014 #98

That comparison only works if you thinking dressing a certain way, and spewing hate toward innocent nomorenomore08 May 2014 #78

She deserved what she got for spewing her fucking bigotry. backscatter712 May 2014 #123

Obama .....try doing it to a cop oneofthe99 May 2014 #63

Plus Ian Astbury's always been a bit of a wanker... Violet_Crumble May 2014 #96

To those who feel sorry for her - what if she'd help up a sign with "I HATE NI**ERS" or something nomorenomore08 May 2014 #84

Still more evidence that being a self-righteous a-hole is a contagious disease struggle4progress May 2014 #85
