Phelps & "God Hates Soldiers" to Desecrate Funeral of SSG Matt Maupin, 27 April.

Having heard talk of "God hates Soldiers" protesting the funeral of hero, Matt Maupin, whose remains have been recently restored to his family, I went to the devil's den at Westboro's website and found confirmation. From Phelps' own website, which I won't link to, because I don't want to give him traffic, comes this gem:

Great American Ball Park 100 Main This is for the funeral of Army Staff Sgt. Keith M. Maupin. Thank God for another Dead Soldier! Whoohoo! That is some goodness right there!

One item that I noticed only recently comes from Matt's family, and is information they received early on about Matt's capture. In addition to the disturbing threat of someone being executed, and the military's inability to actually confirm that it was Matt was a message that the executioners permitted Matt to make. In it Matt said that all he wanted was to return to his wife and child.

The truth is that Matt had no wife or child.

Matt was signaling that he was being tortured and forced to speak. It was important for him to let his nation know that anything he said or did should be discounted.

Also significant is that Matt was taken prisoner in the Abu Ghraib region of Iraq. The media, which made a big deal of a phony, torture-atrocity at Abu Ghraib prison, in which prisoners were stripped of their clothing, has not mentioned the real atrocity of Abu Ghraib, the torture-death of an American Prisoner, SSG Matt Maupin.

This young hero deserves our support as he is laid to rest. His last known words were an attempt to uphold the dignity of his nation. What can we do for him?

Cincinnati, Ohio, Great American Ball Park, Sunday, 27 April, approximately at noon.

Concerned Americans should consider being present with airhorns, signs, whatever, to NON-VIOLENTLY block any view or hearing of Phelps and crew.

got it Thanks!

I expect over a few hundred “riders”, should be no problem.
The Maupin family means a lot to the PGR, they are respected members. If the condolence thread is any indication, the Phelps group will be no where near any service. Local law enforcement will see to that

Prayers for Sgt. Maupin and his loved ones.

The msm isn't interested in real torture and murder, if they were they'd be on our side.

This is heartbreaking. Wish we lived closer.

Will someone not rid us of this odious ghoul

Any doubt that these a$$holes are dems? They used to be fundraisers for algore.

Who are these "God Hates Soldiers" people? (I don't really want to know.)

These people can take the cellophane off of their Holy Bibles and read Matthew 8:5-13. In this passage Jesus commended the centurion for his great faith and healed the centurion's servant.

NO AIR HORNS!!!

That will disrupt the funeral!

I’m sure that PGR has been contacted, and will handle this properly!

The funeral MUST be performed with utmost respect for the Maupin family!

Given enough time, I suspect the Phelps clan will add other things, places, and people to their "God hates" list, so long as there is an infinitesimal chance that the above might have some relation to something--by their characteristically convoluted reasoning--involving homosexuality.

[Amendment10]

Regarding homosexuality, the Holy Bible clearly indicates that God condemns homosexuality. However, that still doesn’t give “Christians” the right to be a stumbling block for homosexuals seeking the truth in Jesus.

You and I are in total agreement. Where is Jesus Christ, the Savior of all manner of sinners, in the WBC's message?

The attacks on our fallen military servicemen is simply deplorable.

[dalight]

I agree. If you want to attend. Go to PGR site and sign up. Show up as noted on the site using the link for Matt's Funeral. The PGR Ride Captains are working with Local Law Enforcement and this is the best and safest way to show your support.

No Airhorns.

This is a Funeral for a War Hero and a family in grief who have done so much for so many over the years.

Thanks to both of you for the heads-up.

Not that I’m per-tik-ly religious, but if there *is* a God, He will seat me on the jury of the Disgruntled-American who finally silences that disgusting hate cult.

[MountainFlower]

I will send this to the PGR captain in my area to spread the word through the system.

[MountainFlower]

contacting PGR.

PING! If you are near here, you are needed!
