It is about time that someone, other than relatives, take a stand against desecraters of our fallen soldiers. This church lady and her compadres should all just pack up and move to Venezuela or something. I cannot believe there are people that can go about life just ho-hum when they verbally defecate on our fallen brothers and sisters. This "church" is no better than the Islamic extremists. They preach virtually the same thing, death to all whom we can't bring ourselves to tolerate. I am no fag of homosexuals in life, much less our military, but I dedicated 8 years of my life in the military to protect those rights and decisions. "Fags" have nothing to do with what's happening overseas. I say we should televise these people more often, maybe we will enable someone to help us out in defeating these bastards of society. I hope this kid's dad wins this lawsuit. Keep on keeping on, FOX and Ms. Banderas!! Thank God for reporters like Ms. Judy Banderas.

Nah...probably not...but I had a few chuckles during that video exchange. "You're the devil" Wasn't that a quote from a Mike Myers SNL sketch? If we ignore them maybe they will just go away?

Calling them a church is stretching it. Cult would be more like it.

Clearly there need to be reprocussions for people who choose to be this perverse. Unfortunately giving them airtime may be exactly the reward they are looking for. And additionally, I wonder about whether an interview like this can tend to cloud the reality of the foreign policy issues which face the US. This childish engagement by the reporter, could easily serve to embolden positions that choose to ignore some of the distrubing reasons that we are in IRAQ and Afghanistan. Sure it was funny but I'm not sure I could cheer on the reporter as some comments here have done... this bothers me alot

The more I read and watch this group the more crazy and ridiculous they get.
