I doubt it (they'd be keeping a safe distance from the idiots pictured). None of those people can ever be accused of having class.
Drudge played a Bill Mahrer (sp?) segment wherein Mahrer and Richard Belzer were shouting down a woman whose son (or son-in-law) had returned from Iraq. The two of them seemed to imply they knew more about the war in Iraq than the soldier did. It's just incredible how ignorant and obnoxious the anti-Bush - anti-war cheerleaders have become.
There is also a traveling "church" group (cult) that pickets and loudly protests at the funerals of America's fallen soldiers. The vile signs and despicable taunts at the survivors are worthy of a prison sentence IMHO.

Shortly before Christmas, I went to the funeral of one of America's finest, who was killed in Iraq. (son of a friend) That so-called "religious" group from Kansas was there with their signs, banners, and yelling their diatribe/garbage. It sickened me. A bunch of bikers from our local Harley Owners' Group (HOGS) showed up and placed their bikes and bodies between the protestors and the family and mourners. First time ever that I heard cheering at a funeral.
This group from the so-called "church" in Kansas is traveling all over the country attending and disrupting these funerals. IMHO, First Ammendment rights only extend so far.
I cannot help but wonder who funds them.
That is a particularly despicable practice, at anyone's funeral, let alone service personnel. Normally, I believe free speech is nearly an absolute right, but I'd make an exception here. Or settle for a bunch of bikers thumping their heads.
Even more disgusting protestors:
