Ken Schram, the commentator who works for local ABC affiliate KOMO TV, once again opens his mouth before fully engaging his brain in this opinion piece regarding the despicable people from the Westboro Kansas Baptist Church, who go around the country protesting at military funerals.
As I said in the title of this, Ken, you're only half right. What you got right is your attitude towards those people. However, what you didn't get right, Ken, is when you say that the government has banned them from protesting. That's not factual, Ken. What the government has done is to restrict them from getting to within 500 feet of any military funeral. If they approach closer than that, they are subject to arrest. That's hardly a "ban".
While I, too, despise what they are doing - like you, Ken - as their actions are vile and despicable, they do have the right to spout their bile, regardless of what my opinion is of what they are saying.
What I also despise, Ken, is when people make false statements, based on their political bias, which is patently obvious in your opinion piece.
You're smarter than that, Ken, and you could have done better - IF you had really wanted to. Apparently, you didn't, though.
