“You would actuslly have the chutzpah to picket in front of someone’s private home, embarrassing them b’rabim (a lav d’Oraisa that is equal to murder) because YOU don’t think…”
oomis1105:
Even though I disagree with your analysis on this issue, I suppose YOU – in order to remain consistent and not hypocritical – are equally outraged against Rav Hershel Schachter for picketing and protesting in front of a tremendous Talmid Chochom and Rov, Rav Blumenkranz, because he disagreed with Rav Blumenkranz’s Beis Din ruling supporting a husband against his wifes demands for a Get.
After all, if you feel it inappropriate to picket on this religious issue (even though its a basic legal right in American democracy to picket on public property in front of someones shop or home, as Rav Schachter did), you must equally feel so on other religious issues. (Ironically, in that case different Rabbonim shlita had a different opinion on that case and yet he protested; here on the tznius picket proposal the commenter specifically said it would apply in cases of a clear breach of basic bare minimum tznius violations!)
Or are you selective in your outrage, and only oppose picketing on those religious issues you don’t like but support it when it suits you?
