I was no fan of Elizabeth Edwards' politics BUT that being said, this is just wrong for her young children to have to see on the day they say their final goodbyes to their mother. I think it would be a good thing to have people in the area protesting the evil Westboro'ers as someone in the article's comments said, with Christmas carols sung LOUDLY! Are there any FReepers in the area who might participate in this venue?

The Westboro church website throws invective at Edwards but gives no specific reason why they chose to protest her funeral.

Bunch of inbred attention seeking morons.

Conservatives need to be at the forefront of blocking this evil homosexual pedophile and his “Church”.

[Grunthor]

“Westboro church plans to picket Edwards’ funeral”

I would proudly march into my jail cell for punching any of these evil monsters in the jaw.

THE WBC is no church. They are petty scam artists. I must admit, I am surprised that no one had ever taken a shot at them during such an emotional time. i’d imagine that is their hope: being attacked so they can sue the local and State Police Depts, as well as anyone arrested. I heard their tires were flattened before...

these folks are so crazy....anyone can call themselves Baptists I guess

[Niteranger68]

I would pay damn good money to be locked in a cage with Rev Fred Phelps and get to go un-Christian upside his head!

[frogjerk]

The left did not care when this was happening to KIA's families. Now that it is happening to one of their own are they now going to rely on Christians to call these people out as the wackos that they are?

I can just see the comments on how Christians are not denouncing these wackos and are hypocrites because they point out how they denounce peaceful muslims for not speaking out against terrorism. Fat-head Rosie or No-eye-brow Whoopie will spout this line.

"no specific reason why they chose to protest her funeral"

same reason they do the other "God hates America" stuff they do. They are anti-Christian leftists, who try and slur Christianity.

[I cannot think of a name]

I have seen two females of this jackass “church” appear on two different newscasts and break into this “clever” song about, “you’re going off on a crazy train.”

Freaking idiots - it’s an Ozzie Osborn song! You know, the guy that calls himself, “The Prince of Darkness”, former leader of Black Sabbath, etc.

That “church” is the biggest collection of morons and fools outside of Washington!

[Old Student]

I’m not fond of Mr. Edwards, either, but someone who can be there needs to call the Patriot Riders and ask them to participate as they do for the funerals of soldiers.

[tflabo]

Whatever happened to taking cae of the poor and needy as church activities. Then again Westboro Baptist is a sham and a false church mired in hatred.

[texteacher]

I am deplore the pain John Edwards caused his wife at the end of her life. However, my extreme anger is directed to these so called Christians. I wish every moment of their days for a year would be disrupted to them as they have done to others.

[silverleaf]

the Westboro kooks are publicity whores and nuttier than cuckoo clocks

Liz Edwards was brought down low and suffered mightily in her life, that should be enough to satisfy their vindictive “god”

[rhubarbk]

Who’s funding these pukes? Soros?

[Joe Boucher]

I see little difference in these religious crazies and the moosie crazies.
Each take their cause WAAAAYY to far.

[netmilsmom]

This is horrible!

If I were in the area, I would go to protest these jerks. The poor kids have done nothing and don’t need these doofuses at their Mommy’s funeral.

*spit*

[IoCaster]

What the hell is with these ghouls? They have absolutely no sense of common decency and should be shunned. The poor woman must have had a horrific experience in the last couple of years of her life and simple compassion dictates that her children and family would be spared this ghastly spectacle.

[random_user_827]

Those people are just sick.

[Vendome]

Frickin idiots.

The are not Christians and if I ever meet one of these boils, I might seriously consider lancing them.

Please God:
Infest these hillbillies with all sorts of pestilence.
