WBC is trying to turn this into a freedom of and speech issue. If there is a good reason to have limits on the 1st Amendment these people and their actions are definitely it.

“Not only did you fail to stop our preaching, but our message has gone forth to the entire world,” the statement said.

“Thank God for the $10.9 million verdict!” Church officials said the verdict would have no effect on their picketing plans. They plan to protest at two Friday: one for Army Sgt. Scott Turner in Norton, Kan., and one for Army Staff Sgt. Larry Rougle in Kearns, Utah.

Church officials say they take their pickets to to protest the ’s[sic] defense of a country that tolerates homosexuality. They expressed confidence that an appellate court will overturn the verdict because the First Amendment protects their speech and . [2]

US Senate Visiting Smear Letter Post

Published on October 19, 2007 in Censorship, Conspiracy Theories, Critical Thinking, Current Events, Media, Military, Moonbats, News, People and Stupidity. 8 Comments

I just wrote about the Harry Reid Smear letter and Rush Limbaugh’s auction a couple of hours ago. Thus far the response has been overwhelming, emails, comments etc. etc.. What is most interesting to me though is who the visitors are. I am obsessed with stats, so much so in fact that I check the server logs after some stories to see what response I get and who is looking. Today I found that within an hour of posting a story about the US I have a bunch of visitors on the site from the US . Now there are also visits from a barrackobama.com and hillaryclinton.com, maybe before it’s done I will have visits from all 41 from .

Conspiracy theories are not really my thing but it is interesting to see the interest the US has in this story. After all it does make at least 41 of them look very foolish including two presidential . Oh, did I say that? By the way, this is an excellent example of influencing our elected officials.

A quick message to the US visitors:

Welcome to Malagent.com - Senator , & others, I’m glad you decided to visit and I know my loyal readers would love to hear your views on this fascinating story. If you are one of the 41 Signators we would like to know if you are going to match ’s donation? Have you ever thought that stunts like this combined with an overall inability to achieve anything meaningful might be contributing factors in your approval ratings?

Lets check out some of these visitors & their agencies. So on with the server logs…

We have a lot of hits from the US today, make sure and check out some of the search terms used on these as well to show you (a good idea of) who is looking up the info. One can’t blame a politician for checking the blogs about them - particularly when they have an approval rating lower than President Bush, who most call the “worst president ever.”

(Update 17:00) It’s interesting to note times of visits and links clicked compared to comments posted on the article. If you see anything worth noting please comment below.

Complete List 01

(Update: 18:05) OK, that did not take long for me to make someone mad. Sorry, but I have had to remove some images with “potentially identifying” information on them. I will post what I can soon.

(18:30) Images are back after minor “sanitizing” (don’t you just love lawyers?) I had to omit a couple of minor things that could lead to “specific computers” at “specific times” in order to avoid what could be “uncomfortable discussions” - So that’s what I did.

??????????????????????????????????????????????

????????????????blogs ?????????????????????????????????????????????????, ????, ????????  ?????????, ??????????????????

Apparently the benevolent of the People’s Republic of have the best interests of their citizens in mind when banning such things as websites and blogs. We really would not want to corrupt the minds of the Chinese with something as dangerous as though, free will, critical thinking or .

Or maybe it is the capitalism that we must protect them from. Money is evil and it will corrupt their minds as well.

Whatever the case, I can’t consider the Chinese to be part of my Audience because the Great FireWall of has stopped my blog’s electrons cold in their path to the workers Communist Paradise.
