TOPEKA, KANSAS

Showing no discernible limit to their insensitivity, and seemingly eager to puff out their chests in the wake of their recent Supreme Court victory, the Westboro Baptist Church issued a press release stating they plan to protest at the funeral of the seven Clouse children killed in a tragic fire in Perry County this week. The release is full of bluster over their Supreme Court victory and claims the fire was a result of God's wrath for Pennsylvania. After all, isn't that where the man who sued them for protesting his son's funeral and inititiated a landmark free speech case resides? The release is replete with misinformation about the circumstances of the fire, claiming Mr.Clouse was asleep in his truck during the fire.

"Isn’t a baseball bat to the knees also free speech?"

I'm sure I could find 4 SCOTUS justices who would agree - if the bat was wielded by a union thug...

Who’s going to protest at Fred Phelps’ funeral?

I figure we all need to kick in for a few kegs and have a beer bash at his funeral. Then we can all get in line and pi$$ on his grave.

Fun all around that way. :)

They will have 13-20 protesters PLUS 6-9 attorneys with note pads and cameras.

I guess that the attorneys will have to be neutralized also. If they are in support of this kind of BS, they deserve what they get.

For some reason I have a feeling something might happen at this one. This area, plus the HUGE loss of life, and children.

Their cameras wouldn't do them any good if everyone dressed like a cowboy...

“They also protested at the funeral of the 9-year-old girl murdered in the Tuscon shooting.”

Fortunately, although they initially said that they were going to picket they did not do so in exchange for a radio interview.

A hate group that preys on funerals to spread its anti-gay message now says it won’t appear at the services for a young girl killed in the Tucson shootings.

Shirley Phelps-Roper, a member of the group and daughter of its leader, Fred Phelps, said churchgoers will not picket the funeral of 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green, according to Topeka’s Capital-Journal.

The hatemongers backed off in exchange for radio time on 102.1 The Edge in Toronto, Canada, and an interview with KXXT-AM in Phoenix on Saturday morning.
