Protests at VT funerals

[jwilburn]

So now its been announced that Fred Phelps and his clan is going to protest at all the VT funerals. He says that it was God's choice for everyone to be killed becuase America has become so bad.

This is the same person who protests at funerals of fallen service members saying that they also desreved to die.

When is this going to end. Can someone please take him out instead?

I know, I've posted about him before, have you seen them? Talk about road trash! It is very sad those type of people still exist and yes, someone should really take him out! :P

My brother lives in Kansas, and he's seen this guy for a long time. Now he's hit the national scene, with his protests at VT and military funerals.

Scum. That's all I can say.

The "funny" thing is, his whole "church" is made up of his extended family. Proof that incest is wrong.

One of my Fave quotes and it sums up this wack, and people like him,
pretty well...

"America is awash in selective piety, situational moralists and cherry-picking absolutionists."

I've never heard of him til now. If his church is so small, how did he get into the national spotlight? Is it just due to him and his protest that got him so much attention, or was there something else?

He's not alone in his views, but what was/is it about him that get's him so much attention?

I think its the fact that at funerals for American troops, they hold up signs that say "Die Fag Troops" and such. Little church + lots of hate = bigger coverage.

He can be against gays, catholics, jews, women ect, thats fine, this is America, more power to ya. But when you bring so much biggotry to times of sadness where it does not belong this is what people have problems with. Also you will see them bring their children to protest. Nothing is more sad in my opinion.

Two Honor guard soliders from a funeral up here attacked him...there was another day he was assulted with paintballs...Personally I would use a bat
