the photo showed a building with "Boy Scouts of America Headquarters" lettering in the background, and indeed the protestors were holding signs the read "God hates fags". any resonably informed person would recognize that as the signage of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church group led by Fred Phelps. this group of professional anti-American protestors tour the country holding their obscene protests at funerals for fallen veterans. several states have passed laws restricting these protests at the funerals.

My guess would be that the Westboro group was picketing the BSA because they were not being anti-homosexual enough for their tastes, since the BSA does not actively hunt down and ban homosexuals from membership.

I totally don't agree with that Phelps person. If I could get away with hating one person...he probably be the one I chose because I humbly believe he has done more damage to conservatives than practically anybody else.
