They might be an IRS "church" but they are NOT Baptists and they are NOT Christians. They simply exist to smear those subsets of American faithful.

They are however radicals...part of the anti-war Marxist fringe of the RAT party.

Kansas church to protest funeral of Afghanistan war casualty David Baker in Painesville

Painesville — Followers of the controversial Westboro Baptist Church plan to protest outside the funeral of Lance Corporal David Baker Saturday morning.

Baker, 22, of Painesville Township, was killed Oct. 20 while on patrol in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan.

Shirley Phelps-Roper, one of the picket leaders for the Kansas church, said a team of seven to 10 protestors will follow state laws and not disrupt the service in their protest of this country’s tolerance of abortion, adultery and its participation in wars.

Protestors will set up at least a half block from the Zion Lutheran Church on Mentor Avenue well before the 11 a.m. service, she said. They will sing songs and hold signs and then depart before the service, she said.

She said following a plan that meets legal limits “makes things blessedly simple.”

Zion Pastor Jimmy Riley said he knows little about previous Westboro protests and hopes to keep the focus of Baker, who he said “loved his country, loved his family and loved his Lord.”

“I think there are better ways to show your Christian love and support than protesting at the funeral of a fellow Christian,” he said.

Teams from Westboro travel to schools or events that attract media attention to give what they call warnings of the imminent destruction of the country by their god because of immoral behavior.

After their protests started, Ohio lawmakers passed the “Let Them Rest in Peace Act” that provided a 300-foot zone around a funeral that protesters could not cross one hour before, during and one hour after the service. It also established a 300-foot “floating buffer” around a funeral procession.

A federal court judge removed the buffer from procession routes in 2007 after the American Civil Liberties Union filed suit on behalf of the church, claiming the ban violated protesters’ right to free speech.

Screw the ACLU! Defending these pieces of garbage.

Go get em’ Patriot Guard. I can’t say how much I appreciate them. When my friend’s brother was being laid to rest they turned up to the tune of about 200. Maybe more. They protect those families. No one should have to worry about morons like these on a day of grief. Thanks to the PGR they don’t. Bless all of you.

The PGR and a small band of Freeprs ran these dirtbags out of Reno about two years ago. They got in their cars and left. One of them got in the face of the mother of the fallen soldier. A PGR leaders was in his face and had him cornered before I could get there. The dirtbag complained to a Deputy Sheriff who asked him if he would like to sit in his cruiser while he listened to his complaint. The dirtbag left. It was a proud day.
