Is there ANY news or pictures of Fred and his cast of idiots showing up in WV yesterday? Just wondering....
From the Charleston Daily Mail --
"Look, they're all close together," one woman observed. "Like true West Virginians right there."
Meanwhile, members of the fringe group that calls itself the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, arrived as promised to protest the service.
About an hour before the start of the service, between 20 and 25 West Virginia State Police troopers spread a line of yellow tape across half of Camden Avenue and made a human barrier in front of the group's 16 members and the throng of heckling public who gathered on a hill nearby.
Every once in a while, members of the group would break out in some kind of variation on John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads."
Westboro's lyrics to the song included a reference to the controversial film "Brokeback Mountain," which deals with homosexuality -- the plague of mankind, according to the group members, and, for some reason, why the group contends the 12 miners lost their lives.
"Brokeback Mountain's in Wyoming, Einstein!" one heckler yelled.
