This was originally a video response to a bunch of BS that a dillitante group of johnny-come-lately idiots calling themseves "Unity Blvd".
The original point of it was to show them that indeed they were doing nothing new, but that ALSO their weird accusations that *I* had never done anything to counter Phelps.
Well, just like Biteboy and Rick namey, they had to eat a whole lot of crow.
So thats what some of the scrolling text is about.
The quality is crap, mainly because I shot it with an old "VHSC" camera (Back then I don't think that MiniDV was even out yet!) And the method I had a few years ago of importing and editing video on my computer was crappy. Oh well, that in itself illustrates a bit of the history and state of the art at the time.
So anyway Rick namey and Biteboy: You do NOT appear in this video anywhere. In fact, you had not even HEARD of Phelps...just like the Unity Blvd morons had never given a crap about Phelps until AFTER 9/11. (And even then, just like the low-brow ignorant bigot Namey, they couldn't recognize the homophobia and anti-Gay intent o Phelps, but were ONLY concerned that Phelps was "Disrespecting the flag")
So, you can try to spot me at this protest. It will be hard, because for one thing, I actually had HAIR back then! And another thing, I did most of the filming, except for the parts where I handed the camera off to someone else.
The music is used by permission, directly from the mouths of the artists/creators.
Yep, I helped organize a LOT of those early anti-Phelps protests, and brought a LOT of these people out to the park to picket.
We were at home in Florida. We came out to Kansas at great difficulty and expense twice to protest Phelps. This is a specious criticism. We're not in charge of the anti-Phelps movement, nor under any obligation to be at every event. We just did our own little part, as many others have, when it was brought to our attention and we were asked and able to respond.

Oh you poor poor martyr! You drove all the way from Florida! Wouldn't it have been a lot closer to home to protest John Stemberger? Right there in sunny Flori-DUH, land of Anita Bryant, and the ONLY state that outlaws same-sex couples from adopting. And you chose to drive all the way to KansASS to protest phelps, and THEN cry because it made you "look gay"? I can see how that would be problematic for you in Flori-DUH. But don't cry to ME simply because you get portrayed accurately. So sue me.

Poor pussbag. We weren't there because we hadn't heard of Phelps or pussbag yet. I'm glad we protested Phelps. I wish pussbag hadn't helped us. BTW, is Bob Cutler out of the closet as HIV positive yet?

Did you ever notice that I leave your comments up instead of deleting them? Can you guess why?
It is really no wonder that everyone who has ever had anything to do with you regrets it.

No bob we werent worried about looking gay, in fact the reason i asked you to pull the videos was because they have nothing to do with us and nothing to do with what we did at the protest its just a sad attempt at latching on to something that is way cooler and much bigger than you will ever be so go ahead do your best bully i wouldnt waste a penny trying to sue you your a F***** joke

So, you are going to cry all over youtube about every video that has nothing to do with YOU? Narcissistic much? Interesting, but predictable how you keep revising history: You called me up whining that the videos "Made you look Gay" and that "Our redneck fans wouldn't like that" and "Take down that Gay frilly stuff". Maybe what you really don't like is that the videos actually show that no one that showed up gave a crap about your crappy band. Its a sad attempt on your part to latch onto phelps.
