...so i think this counts as a point for the Good?

So, Albert Snyder had his son's funeral picketed by the Westboro Baptist Church. You know, the asswipes who hang out with signs that say 'God hates fags' and 'Gays burn in hell' and other such cheerfully winning statements. He sued them for $11 million for emotional distress. In a stunningly bastard move, the court overturned that ruling in an appeal, reducing the amount Mr. Snyder was awarded and ordered him to pay a portion of Westboro Baptist Church's legal fees. Yes, that's right. The court's brilliant judge thinks that WBC deserves freedom of speech (lobbying hate propaganda at someone's FUNERAL,) and that this grieving parent needs to pay the legal fees for these people after that fiasco.

This is so. Fucking. BRAINMELTINGLY HORRIBLE that it has forced Bill O'Reilly to display an actual SOUL.

Bill O'Reilly is paying that legal tab, and speaks out against hatred.

It's just. Holy crap, man. I'm awed.
