Moorhead, MN -- A controversial Kansas church plans to picket the funeral of a North Carolina-based marine who was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq.
A church attorney says ten members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, plan to picket before the Camp Lejeune Marine's funeral in Moorhead, Minnesota.
The church blames the US government for a bomb that exploded on its compound in 1995.
The Westboro Baptist Church says it was bombed to stop its anti-gay preaching.
Church members say they protest at soldiers funerals to tie the deaths to the church bombing.

I heard about his group which is actually only seven members of the same family. They get their support by suing people who attack them and also the community because the police didn't protect them.
The easiest way to put these people out of business is for the families of the deceased military to sue them for grievous mental harm. This was discussed on a talk show in Oklahoma. The thing is not to confront them but to advise the families of the deceased serviceman or woman to sue them.

No matter the actual structure, anyone who calls their property a "compound" is likely begging to get bombed in some fashion. Very true. For example, this guy lives in a compound, and he's spent most of his life bombed...

Yes- it was an awkward title. A better title may have been: Brave Marine (Who Left Home to Live and Train in North Carolina at the Famed Camp LeJeune) Was Buried in His Hometown of Moorehead, Minnesota after Dieing in Iraq in America's Finest Tradition of Freedom, Which Allows for a Group of Nuts to Travel Freely Around the Country Protesting His and Other's Funerals.
(Okay - so it's a bit long for a title!)

The most *EFFECTIVE* way to silence Phelp's pro-Democratic-Party agenda (he's a Democratic Party fundraiser and a DNC voting delegate) is to enlarge these photographs and carry them to his protests. Because Phelps wants to discredit Republicans and advance Democrats, these pictures will cause him extreme discomfort. These are not photoshopped; they are real and available at the Log Cabin Republican website.

What in the blue blazes does gay preaching and a bomb dropped years ago have to do with this Marine's funeral.
This is a road freep for sure...I would stomp all of them.
