Westboro Baptist Church’s message is that American soldiers deserve to die, and that their deaths are the wrath of god against America. Westboro Baptist Church are utterly despicable, almost so much so that it makes me wonder sometimes if some of them aren’t left-wingers trying to make Protestant Christians look bad.
What Ron Paul was getting at was that since America has chosen to fight wars he sees as unconstitutional, that the soldiers have brought unnecessary death upon themselves. But the way he presented it was quite rude and unpatriotic. I don’t think he was picketing funerals saying “Thank God for Dead Soldiers” though.
It kind of explained why Jon Stewart was always talking up Paul.
This was close enough for a republican congressman, that is why conservatives are outraged and disgusted at the weirdo.
He was, however, all over the talk shows in 1991 proclaiming that the use of armored bulldozers and tanks fitted with plows to clear trenchlines (instead of what? Jumping in with bayonets and trench knives? ) during the first Gulf War was tantamount to war crimes.
No forgiveness for wrong Paul, and no respect or courtesy to the idiots who support him.
