Delicious. I can’t wait until these S.O.B.s have to spend so much time working to pay for their miserable existence that they have no time to harass the brave men and their families who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

"...It’s something that new funeral picketing bans, now passed in 43 states, have proved unable to do..." Because they haven't been taken to court on individual suits as they should have been.

Let me say I’m 100% opposed to Fred Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church and what they are doing. However, this $11 million judgment bothers me. What exactly did the church do to cause $11 million of damages? They are disgusting slugs, but when did the 1st Amendment start prohibiting speech we don’t agree with? This isn’t like the case of shouting fire in a crowded theater. Public safety isn’t at risk, nor is Fred Phelps advocating (to my knowledge) illegal activities. Opinions?

Insane or just evil?

"It’s not just homosexuals and families of fallen soldiers who have felt Phelps’ scorn. Over the years, Westboro has condemned the pope, Jerry Seinfeld, Santa Claus, Mister Rogers and the entire nation of Sweden.

Church members praised the Sept. 11 attacks, said Amish children deserved to die in a school shooting last year, and thanked God for the 2004 tsunami."

“Phelps seemingly always craved publicity. He ran for Kansas governor as a Democrat in the ’90s and launched other failed bids for the U.S. Senate and the Topeka mayor’s office.”

Wow. I’m SHOCKED The Kansas City Red Star actually printed this without leaving off his political affiliation.

I have long suspected (altough I will concede that I have no proof of this) that Westboro was being bankrolled by someone. The amount of $$ they made off of their lawsuits should have run out years ago. I have also been surprised that the MSM never dug into their fiances either.
I am not one to wear the tin-foil hat, but there are just too many unanswered questions about Phelps and his whelps.
Maybe this lawsuit will help to “out” anyone involved in (for whatever motive) financing these people

Let the world show that before I read a single comment, I will put on my fine, oh-so-fashionable tin foil hat and suggest something I said on my own Blog, link below.

http://patfish.blogspot.com/2007/11/true-crime-dog-shoots-man-man-saves-dog.html

But I figure that having a churchy-church group going around the country, going to military funerals under the guise of protesting America’s kindness to homosexuality...I figure this is how the Moonbats think.

I mean how many other homosexual venues, if you would, are far more appropriate for the protesting of the supposed crassness and evil of homosexuality? Wouldn’t this Westboro church be better served to squat down on some of those San Francisco homo events that the world could better see the homosexuality the politically correct don’t want us to see? If not San Fran aren’t there plenty of other sorts of places that could provide a better background that the funerals of American soldiers? By what logic does the Westboro church think the funerals of soldiers will enrage the American public against homosexuality of all things?

But if you wanted, by some nefarious pretense, for the world to see the many funerals of American soldiers...say...well this scam is pretty convenient. Remember, the Moonbats are no longer allowed to show the caskets of the dead as they return to mine own state of Delaware’s Dover Air Force Base. So some way is needed to put dead soldiers, in some form or fashion, in front of the American public, especially the ladies in the beauty parlor.

That bit about having a church group against homosexuals, well that helps deflect the anger to ...duh, church groups! Cause only the holier than thou church groups are so evil as to do this sort of thing.

I think, if they’re really digging for funds for this group, that somewhere, some way....there’s a Soros connection.

I will now remove the tin foil hat and return to my scheduled programming.
