I know this is about 2 months old, but I just found out about it. Bill O'Reilly reported it on Fox.

[quote]PHILADELPHIA, PA. Oct. 11/Covenant News Wire Service/ -- On Sunday, October 10, 2004, eleven Christians with the Philadelphia-based Repent America were arrested, jailed, and charged under hate crimes legislation during an evangelistic outreach at the annual "OutFest" homosexual pride event held in the public streets of Philadelphia.

The six men and five women representing Repent America approached the event and were immediately confronted with unlawful opposition by a group of homosexuals. This group, the “Pink Angels

No one seems concerned about this? :mad:

An no one is concerned that our precious news media ignores this? :mad: :mad:

Meanwhile, Bill Moyers gets subsidized to rant about commentators...who DON'T pretend to be news people.

I don't watch the news media, and there are bigger fish to fry. Plus its Philly, I can't say I'm surprised.

First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.

Bigger fish? Like Scott Peterson?

I'd say it's clear that the news media make time for just about anything if they want it bad enough.

I thought this was in line w/ the original subject:

The First Freedom
Religious Freedom Day

BreakPoint with Charles Colson

January 7, 2005



Each year, the president declares January 16 to be “Religious Freedom Day

For once I agree with you RebelKev

Everyone has a right to demonstrate, however other have a right to disagree with the demonstration and start a demonstratio of their own. However, there are ways of counter demonstrating that will get your message across better. Think about a Klan rally in your town. You don't get your message across by attacking them. Just make sure your counter demostration is bigger and better so the media pays attention to you and not the other group. I still can't figure out why the police arrested the Christian group and not the "pink" group as well. Did I miss something?
