Indeed, what would Jesus do? Would he support Fundamentalist extremism or would he spread love and forgiveness? Would he dump on homosexuals, or would he fight for their rights as human beings? Would he picket abortion clinics, or would he comfort a woman in need of such a procedure? Would he be complaining about alcohol or would he be drinking it with his friends?
In John 8:4 Jesus was brought a woman caught in adultery. Rather than condemn her, he forgave her and said the only people allowed to condemn her were the ones who had never sinned. No one condemned her that day. In John 4:7 Jesus encounters a prostitute at a watering well. Rather than judge her harshly for her sins, he asked her for a cup of water and gave her comfort for the mistakes in her life. And in Matthew 11:19 Jesus was called a drunkard for drinking wine in the homes of local crooks and thieves.
He was radical. He was compassionate. And he was forgiving.

So you're saying he would probably be drunk down the pub drinking wine and mixing with Ladies of the night !?
Good lad.

Yes. Absolutely. Jesus was compassionate, and ultimately forgiving.
While things like adultery, divorce, abortion, homosexuality- they are all clearly stated in the Bible as things God detests, because they are sin... that doesn't mean people aren't going to choose those things. I don't believe anyone purposefully tries to be "evil", but rather- everyone is just trying to "live" life as great as they possibly can and without even realizing it they've got themselves deep into things they can't possibly get out of.
WWJD? The phrase was designed to call Christians to step up and instead of doing what we want, to actually take on the whole personality of Chirst.
So would Christ support rather dumb government descisions? Yes. (Give to Caeser what is Caeser's, give to God what is God's. -Luke 20:20-26)
Would Christ harass sinners? Absolutely not. Christ Jesus met their needs and showed them a love that no one in the world ever has. He died for them, and thus- forgave them.
That is the Jesus Christ we are "WWJD"-ing.

Whether the historical figure Jesus was the Son of God or a man--in many was is immaterial. The meat, main gist, whatever you wish to call it of the message of his life--is a way to live one's own life. To be compassionate, to do the right thing rather than the easy thing. Perhaps the best thing to do is to quit arguing about whats valid and what isn't valid-and to live our lives in a manner like this person did. Whatever religion one is, or no religion at all, the one point that is inarguable is that the world would be a much better place, if we simply lived our lives by this example.

Jesus would expose 9 11 as an inside job fight the evil church fight corruption and be killed by the morons who claim to love him. Jesus ain`t here so looks like I will have to fight for truth instead. Jesus was a revolutionary never forget that fight for whats right - stop selective reading

He will continue to preach what he preached.
He never fought for anyone or against anyone.
He was a teacher - of another subject!
