BTW, sorry for the triple post, here!

This paragraph, too, was a very nice mention of FR, IMO:

The FreeRepublic.com group was trying to counter demonstrations by the Kansas-based group, led by the Rev. Fred Phelps. He previously had organized protests against those who died of AIDS and gay murder victim Matthew Shepard.

It seems to me FR is not actually the lunatic/ wacko/ nut job-right wing fringe that some on the left would like people to believe.

OK, I will try once again to take my break, but first, I had to post these great photos, from the article posted on this thread --
