"The evidence is they were not Christian. God does not do that to his servants,” Phelps-Roper said. “You don’t need to look any further for evidence those people are in hell.”

Does that go for Jesus too? I seem to remember him being killed or something.

As an aside, I hope their bus goes off a good high bridge on the way there.

[StarCMC]

Yep - I are a woman. PGR ping coming up!

To be on or off my PGR list, please FReepmail me!

“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.

Could and should be said about the Gun Grabbers who didn't even wait until the bodies were cold to start making political jabs.

[rottndog]

I would say I’m disgusted and speechless, but nothing these morons do surprises me anymore.

Sick, sick, sick.

There’s not a sinner on this planet, not even a single homosexual, that will get to hell faster than Fred Phelps and company.

[Cheburashka]

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

Your comment will fall on deaf ears, since you don’t know that the Phelps Freaks were protesting Gay funerals (such as AIDS sufferers) long before the War started. They would say we’re late to the party, we didn’t care until soldiers’ funerals were getting the treatment.

“Hopefully someone in Cho’s mental state will take them up on it.”

---

I would prefer that they see their sins and repent.

[ichabod1]

They are ghouls.

[Ancesthntr]

Just when you think that they’ve gone as far as it is possible to go, they pull another rabbit out of their hat.

These people are evil, pure and simple. They should hope to never attend the funeral of any family member of mine.

[GreenAccord]

I have never felt compelled to comment on the Westboro bunch, but it seems a good counter-tactic would be a rather large amplifier, the kind you’d see sitting on the stage at a stadium concert. Then you haul it somewhere nearby these fools and crank it up so that it feeds back. Wouldn’t that be a low-tech version of what the military uses or is developing? Who’d want to be near that? I’d be willing to bet they’d disperse accordingly.

[NRA2BFree]

They’re going to keep pushing until someone opens fire and kills several of them. They’re obviously too stupid to understand that. They’re too full of hate to see it. They remind me of Muslims! They try to justify what they do by using the name of Christianity.

[don-o]

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

Understatement of all time...

[Our man in washington]

In a way, Phelps has pulled off one miracle in his life.

He has gotten us freepers and the DUers to agree on something.

[HitmanLV]

‘Gay on the Brain’ is a serious problem.

[NCDragon]

I have ridden in a couple of PGR runs here in North Carolina to show my undying respect for the warriors that were being laid to rest. A few of the “Phelpsholes” were in attendance each time but, when they saw the bikes, the leather, the flags AND all the Patriots arrive, they quickly tucked their tales and ran away from the area. Not only are they sick-minded individuals, they are cowardly to boot.

[napscoordinator]

I don’t usually hate people against God’s will and all, but I am going to risk a sin here and say I really hate these people. I pray to God that the motorcycle group gets together and block all these freaks. Sorry for my ignorance on not remembering the motorcycle group’s name.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Thet will make a mistake some day, and start a fight.

[colorado tanker]

They must need another injection of publicity.

What sick, twisted creatures.

[LilyBean]

I totally do not understand the mindset of these people. Why someone would protest at a funeral is just beyond my understanding. Even in the case of Cho, Klebold, and Harris. Their parents have a right to grieve also. It is just Wrong, on so many levels. That these people call themselves Christians, makes me sick. There are no words left to say, that won’t get me banned. So I will leave it at that.

[colorado tanker]

They are not Christians and they will not be pleased with their reception when they meet their Maker.
