I wonder if any of those birther-tards(birther + retard, yeah I know its using two synonymous words together. so what) will be ordered to reimburse Obama for filing their lawsuits. That said I do not blame that man for not wanting to pay

Marine's dad ordered to pay protesters' court fees but says he won't | Featured Story | Wichita Eagle

BALTIMORE - The father of a Marine killed in Iraq and whose funeral was picketed by anti-gay protesters from Kansas was ordered to pay the protesters' appeal costs, his lawyers said Monday. Fox News reported today that he will defy a court order and not pay the protesters' appeal costs.

"I don't think I'm going to be writing a check until I hear from the Supreme Court," Snyder told Fox News on Tuesday. "I'm not about to pay them anything."

The two-page decision supplied by attorneys for Albert Snyder of York, Pa., offered no details on how the court came to its decision.

On Friday, Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ordered Snyder to pay $16,510 to Fred Phelps. Phelps is the leader of Topeka's Westboro Baptist Church, which conducted protests at Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder's funeral in 2006.
 
Well it sucks, but that's the court order. But if he's willing to take the fight higher up, then that's fine too. Personally, I ****ing hate that Phelps guy. But we don't have laws against stupid, nor would I endorse any.
 
They harassed the father and yet the father has to pay!!??? WTF!

This is why you got to fight fire with napalm. Some photo shopped pictures of Phelps getting ****ed in the ass by Satan on a protest sign that says "God hates faggy asswipe butt hole preachers like you" and protest outside that man's church and anywhere else he goes,especially if one of his family members has a funeral .
 
It's an Obamanation, I know...

You say that like this story has anything to do with President Obama.

It is stupid that this father has to pay these court fees. I hope he wins where ever this case ends up next.
 
The dad should have at least knocked a few of that a-hole's teeth out. THAT would have been worth the check.

Just do not feed the troll please.

My one question is whether this is a standard for some one filing a losing lawsuit? If it is, I can at least kinda understand, though I still don't much like it. If not, then this is just sad.
 
He's definitely a creature of the religious right..... He makes being a godless commie downright attractive!

I don't even think it is fair to put it on the Religious Right. He is more likely part of the WTF I am a crazy ass that is stupid as hell club.

Stupid is not a slant. It's it own category. Same with being an asshole. Phelps is both, and all in his own category.

I know this is asking the impossible, but you can of course show that this judge is a liberal.

I agree and while I am really upset that this father has to pay these fees when he already went through so much pain, the fact it is because of Phelps crew makes it that much worse. I really hope that if karma is real these assholes get payback for how much more pain and anger they have caused and soon.
 
You're right. It's not like Obama is going to prosecute Navy SEALs for capturing a most wanted terrorist.

I mean, it's the terrorists word over two heroes. Can you guess which of the three people the Obama administration trusts most? The terrorist. ...Yikes. Let's get this terrorist some Rights, please!!! :2wave:

You did not learn after you posted this bull**** last time. The Seals where prosecuted for lying to an investigation. Get your information from credible sources.

Sooo.... you're trusting the terrorist over the SEALs?
 
That doesn't make sense. At all. :(

The military is the one who pressed the charges for lying to an official investigation. Apparently their word is not good enough for you.

Gosh. Apparently not. :clap:

To a certain degree I support a loser pays type system. For example that ass hole judge(I should say former judge) who sued for 60 plus million dollars for over a pair of pants should be forced to pay that family he tried to drive into the poor house with his fraudulent lawsuit.

But you do take the word of a right wing blog. This shows everything that needs to be shown about you, ie that you take partisanship over facts.

This goes along the same line of thinking that if politicians were held to the same level of accountability as a CEO of a public company, our government would be debt and corruption free (or very close to it)!
