No. 1 cable news host Bill O'Reilly said Tuesday that he will personally write a check to cover $16,500 in legal costs for the father of a fallen U.S. Marine who sued the members of a church who picketed his son's funeral.

According to news reports, the members of the Westboro Baptist Church, located in Topeka, Kan., believe that God is punishing the United States because of its acceptance of gay people. The church garners attention for its views by protesting high-profile funerals.

I saw that last night. Good for Bill.

The fact that the court awarded those knuckleheads the win, and made the father pay over $16 grand, is REVOLTING!!!

I don't think it will be long before someone takes matters into their own hands and shoots up those people.

I know a cop who told me that if someone was a good shot and was about 200-300 yards away and came from out of state to do something like that 90% chance they would easily get away with it.

It's not hard to see that being the truth, even if he was spotted by many i would bet they would turn a blind eye to it.  Buy a rifle on the street, wear gloves, dispose of the rifle in parts and burn any clothing worn.  Chances are people won't try too hard to find you anyway.

These are good Christians protesting the iniquity of homosexuality; they are doing God's work. God bless them.

He told me that most crimes and murders are easily solved since they involve family disputes, money, etc.  However, he was telling me that its not like TV and if someone was a good shot and took the time to plan it out they would never get caught at all.  Kind of scary considering how vulnerable we are in that type of scenario.

Here's my perspective: People who truly hold a values don't need recognition for acting in accordance with them.

I'm not a hater and am glad he "Put his money where his mouth is" and helped a family abused by right wing whackos. It just seems tacky that attention had to be brought to him in the process of helping them.

Good point.

Left wing idiots have been against the war from the beginning. I am pretty sure they have a grin from ear to ear when this happens at a burial to a fallen soldier.

I can't believe Chris Matthews wouldn't help this family.

Problem is Liberal jackoffs don't do anything privately or publicly. They are good at talking a good game about helping others, but like Obama, they never give up any of their own money.

And all of the sudden these are right wing whackos? They oppose a war supported by the right and the left. VOTED for by the left, as well as the right. That is something that can not be denied.

Even if O'Reilly had done it privately, the family would eventually had given up his name. Don't be mad that a right wing nut job beat the liberal fags to the punch.

HEHEHE!! You are a fool.

Sort of.

I'm specifically wondering if it is a true value or just showboating. Something helpful being done privately would make it seem more sincere.

Ratings, rating, ratings.  Think about it.  If BOR even gets a few minutes of time on other networks over this, is it worth 16k in the theme of things?

Far from it and you are missing my point completely. Anyone can claim to be religious and anyone can likewise make the claim they are not. It's a moot and senseless point to make. People who act out of religious conviction are, by definition, religious, regardless of what your perception of what 'right' and wrong religion might be.

They have been whackos all along. Some light reading would inform you that the church is mostly made up of family members and its main activity is protesting at funerals of dead vets. They believe these deaths are God's punishment for accepting gay people.

I never expressed anger at O'Reilly or anyone else. I merely question the sincerity of anyone who needs public adulation for doing whatever they claim is the right thing.

Look, whatever the motive, BOR did the right thing.

With his money, he could do a lot more of the 'right thing'. He is just doing it for attention.

I'm sure this father, who probably is not of big means, really does not care at this point whether BOR may get some fame over this.

if someone makes a private donation how would you ever know about it

didn't Olberman donate ~ 50k for health care clinics (don't have the time to look up a link but that is my recollection)

If there is a god why does he let dipshits like Phelps walk the earth speaking for him

If god really hated fags then why would his original church (the only true church according to the pope) be nothing more than an international pederast ring

I wish some broke guy with nothing to lose would just get it done.  That whole family is pure evil and I wish physical pain upon them.

Right-wing whackos?

How do you figure that?  Phelps used to be a civil rights attorney, he's sued Reagan, and he's run multiple times in Democratic primaries.

Good for Oreilly. And I dont care that he let people know about it. Its good to know that somebody is fighting these sewer ridden pigs. Bush should have made an executive order to arrest anybody that was protesting at soldier's funerals. Its not a free speech issue.

The first amendment doesnt give you the right to a microphone. Disrupting funerals is not free speech and is clearly not what the founders intended. If they truly want to express thier free speech rights, they should line up across an interstate freeway or along a busy public road. Or get organized outside of Capitol Hill.

Unfortunately their free speech needs to be respected...now if I were to witness somebody shoot these pieces of garbage, I'm sure I would not be able to recall who the shooter was.
