Hat tip to PZ Myers.

Soon the Phelpses will over-publicized, over-loud, and over there. Spreading the Good News of God's love, no doubt.

British friends, don't ever say America gave you nothing. Please keep these people as a token of trans-Atlantic friendship.

These guys are essentially travelling to the UK in the express intent to break the laws... (Public disturbance; hate speech; even insulting the Royal Family is probably illegal -but then, isn't calling Obama 'the antichrist' illegal in the US? I think to recall that the president's personality was protected).

These guys are likely to get themselves expulsed and lose their right to a visa in the future, at least to UK, but maybe to any country in Europe.
Which is all good for Phelps, of course, fanning his persecution complex is the main objective...

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Nope, far from it. Public people especially are legally subject to slander and libel here. And that's the way we like it, though individual instances are often annoying.

Damn! I was hoping they'd have gaols for them. And those snazzy uniforms with the Broad Arrows on them.

Oh, they'll love these guys! Hey, if they can only get them to tangle with some jihadists there, maybe they'd all cancel out, or explode somehow...

I was thinking about the Alien and Sedition Act.
I am proud of myself as I even managed to remember that it was John Adam's doing...

Is it just me, or does one of these look like a cleaned-up version of the other?

Damn! Forgot about that one. From the days when laws had teeth, and claws, and poison stingers.

It's been said before, but look at the size of Coulter's hands. If there's one thing I don't like, it's a bird with big hands.

If you've ever watched Harry Enfield, you might know where that expression comes from.

Man... That's some big manly hands... I recall a post about how she used to be a man and the hands were the proof... That's retarded, of course, but Man... these are impressive.
