A church group that protests at military funerals around the country will be barred from services for an American Indian soldier on a reservation, tribal officials say. Members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, planned to demonstrate at National Guard Cpl. Nathan Goodiron's funeral on Saturday at the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.
Church members say the deaths of soldiers are punishment from God for the country's tolerance of homosexuals.
Tribal leaders passed a resolution Friday that prohibits the group from protesting on the reservation, said Marcus Wells Jr., chairman of the Three Affiliated Tribes.
"We will not tolerate any harassment that is intended to provoke ill feelings and violence," he said.
Provoke violence? You mean like this video where they are running for their life? Yes, preaching hate does seem to provoke hate in return. Yes, this group's speech does provoke violence, and for that reason should be treated differently than other free speech in my opinion. Of course groups like the ACLU don't buy that argument. It would be a different story if they were pro-life demonstrators outside an abortion clinic though.

"We will not tolerate any harassment that is intended to provoke ill feelings and violence," he said. I wonder if there are any blondes or red heads in the Westboro Baptist Church congregation who would make especially prized scalps?

Good for the Three Affiliated Tribes.
I'm glad to see, too, that the Westboro group is rightly labeled a 'Hate Cult'.

"But let them spew their hate and take comfort in knowing that in the end they will reap what they sew." Sow, knuckleheads. Sow. I'm no grammar nazi for normal posts, but if you're going to do a press release, proof read your work. Also, F*** the WBC!!!

Seeing as how Indian land is considered to be a distinct nation (but I don't believe autonomous), I'd say that if the west-babblers want to take it to court, it's going to get very interesting...

As I am sure we are all aware, it serves their purposes to call these sinister cultists a church. By and large, most all religions who have legitimate churches, DO NOT teach, advocate, or tolerate hate of anyone. Much less use it as a religious ideology. The old media knows this, so they use this group to dispel that knowledge.

Maybe they have seen the signs on the side of the highways......"Don't mess with Texas". If not, they should.

I tired of hearing of Westboro Baptist Church being a "church group". That they are not. There are more like a mobile insane asylum.

Sow, knuckleheads. SowNormally grammar police boar me, butt in this case, I agree.
Reap what they sow; wear what they sew, or best, they can sink where they sewer.

No, I appreciate grammar police. I've fixed the error on my site thanks to this guy pointing out my knuckleheadeness. I don't know how to fix it here though.

...Cpl. Nathan Goodiron, 25, of Mandaree, known on the reservation as Young Eagle, was killed Thanksgiving Day in Afghanistan when a grenade struck his vehicle while he was on patrol. He was a member of the 1st Battalion of the North Dakota National Guard's 188th Air Defense Artillery.American and tribal flags are being flown at half staff on the reservation to honor Goodiron.
Go in peace, Young Eagle. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice.

No, I appreciate grammar police. Don't misunderstand me; I appreciate having an error pointed out to me privately, or quietly, at the very least.
The grammar police whom I mean are those who wish to make no contribution to a topic per se, but only make posts publicly pointing out--in some cases, even ridiculing--the grammar or spelling errors of posts; or worse, other, contributing, posters.
