Nothing surprises me about that group.

[highball]

Pathetic, sick people.

[Fighting Irish]

of all the innocent people that get shot by drive-bys .... why can’t this fool catch one for the team?

[Buffalo Bob]

Curtis Dahn, the president of Virginia Tech’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Alliance, said he reacted with immediate disgust upon hearing of the WBC's plans. “Thirty-three people are dead and they’re using people’s deaths and people’s grief to further their own agenda and it’s just disgusting,” he said.

Welcome to the party pal, although your quite late. These folks have been protesting at fallen Soldiers funerals for years now.

[Old Grumpy]

What a bunch of low-lifes.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Grrrrrrr............ping

good response

[The Blitherer]

The idea that these people even THINK they know what Christians believe would be laughable, if they weren't such a contemptible group.

[Hat-Trick]

how do we ping the Freedom Riders?

[shekkian]

The local Virginians should arm up and keep this freakshow a great distance away from the campus.

[USMCWife6869]

Oh, now they care. Now that is more than just a military person’s funeral, they will try and stop them. I can’t even begin to put into words how angry this makes me.

“Pathetic, sick people.”

This is beyond sick.....this is pure Evil!

Militant

[TNCMAXQ]

I have to wonder why gay rights groups don’t counter protest when these freaks are out there. Perhaps because it isn’t seen as a problem when someone from the armed forces is the target.

[sgtbono2002]

I was thinking the same thing. Why didnt this little Korean butt wipe do the world a favor and take out these creeps.

Of course we all know they are just showing up for the publicity, they are publicity hounds , a lot like Cindy Sheehan. They have become a National Embarrassment. It seems a shame no one has the courage to lock them up and throw away the key. They have no right invading the privacy of people during their bereavement. they belong in a mental institution.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

I pinged StarCMC...he’s got the list

[OldFriend]

I would love to see people from Virginia forming a huge circle of love around the funerals to protect the families from seeing or hearing these evil evil people.

[DCBryan1]

I could never vote to convict a family member that slew the entire kook family.

In fact, ....nevermind....I don't want to be banned.

[John Semmens]

Apparently, being a victim of an atrocity is, by itself, proof of one’s unrighteousness.

Therefore, if Fred Phelps were to be assassinated by another nut, that would prove Phelps deserved to die and go to Hell?

I’d say Phelps is skating on thin ice with his line of reasoning.

[Stark_GOP]

“The evidence is they were not Christian. God does not do that to his servants,” Phelps-Roper said.

Apparently they never read Fox’s Book of Martyrs.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Phelps group may be all talk on this one. Recently they claimed they would picket the funeral of a soldier from Texas and they never showed up.
