"The group's literature proclaims ``Thank God for IEDs (roadside bombs)'' and states that Piper and other slain soldiers were ``cast into Hell to join other dishonorable Americans.'' "

I'm really surprised Phelps hasn't teamed up with Chief Ward Churchill of the Cigar-store tribe to spew vile invective at grieving families. The Phelps-Churchill tour, coming to a military cemetery near you!
I sharply disagree with the posters who say he should be shut up. On the contrary, it is his free excercise of speech that has demonstrated for anyone with the eyes to see and the ears to hear that he is a contemptable fool with no credibility whatsoever. He should be ahsamed. Sadly, shame seems to have gone out of fashion.
