    This is how it should be done.

    I can't for the life of me understand why someone would protest a soldier's funneral. People who have died defending this country have earned of our respect. That some wacked out preacher from Kansas has lead his congregation to protest the funnerals of soldier's from Afganistan and Iraq is disguisting and beyond comprehension. Well, one town fought back. Basically told Fleps and his gang to f-off and sent them packing. Video of the CNN story here:[

    I have heard about Fred Phelps and his family of whackos for several years now. They are one of those cult families where he most likely fathered all those kids. He has total power over them and they are all brainwashed. I have seen them protest soldiers funerals in the past calling soldiers gay and that God hates them. Just total mental health cases. I am so proud and happy to see these American people fight back and stand up for one of their fallen soldiers. Just loved this clip. You need more of that with these idiot protesters. I do hope this catches on. The Phelps family tried to come up here to protest something but our government wouldnt let them in. They were turned back at the border and I cheered that day.

    Here's an idea. The Honor Guard that fires the 21 gun salute should have live ammo and adjust their aim to fit the situation.

    THAT WAS GREAT! Those folks have set the standard for what should be done everywhere that maniac Phelps and his "brethren" show up . . .
    or PLAN B . . .use Tyme's idea!

    That's awesome to see that for once someone effectively silenced that "congregation" of inbred filth. I've always thought that there's got to be some constitutional way to bar those protests. Yes they're entitled to express their opinion, sick and twisted though it might be, but I don't see why that has to include the freedom to scream hatred at a grieving family while they're trying to bury a loved one, a military hero to boot. It should be a crime to disrupt a funeral, no matter who's being buried. Freedom of speech can be abridged when there is a compelling reason to do so.

    You can probably google him and find out more details. The basics: Phelps runs the Waitsboro Baptist Church in Kanas. Through his own missinterpretation of the bible he has decided that 9-11, and soldiers deaths in Iraq and Afganistain are due to God hating fags and he is punishing the US for harboring gays. Phelps and his followers (most seem to be related to him) show up at funnerals of soldiers killed overseas and protest. Based on news stories that I've seen, this often includes young kids marching around with signs like: "God hates fags", "God hates America", "Dead soldiers are punishment", etc. Pretty wacked out if you ask me. He has been doing this for several years at least. A couple years back a motorcycle gang started showing up at funnerals of soldiers and putting themselves between Phelps and the actual funneral in an effort to allow the family some shelter from the taunts of the wackos. There is at least one law suit against Phelps for interfering at a funneral.

    It's actually "Westboro" Baptist. And BTW they're not actually associated officially with the Baptists, they just call themselves that. Believe it or not, their website is www.godhatesfags.com. Yup, you read that right. And that "motorcycle gang" you referred call themselves the Patriot Guard Riders, and when they show up at funerals to protect the families, they do so as invited guests.
