The Left does some truly despicable things in this world, but this is a new low for Democrats.
Former three-time Democrat gubernatorial candidate Fred Phelps Jr. (commonly called just “Fred Phelps”) and his Westboro Hate Group have announced plans to disrupt the funeral of 9 year-old shooting victim Christina Greene.
Christina was murdered by Jared Lee Loughner yesterday in his assassination attempt on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. The little girl was born on September 11th, 2001, so her parents have been cursed with a horrific trifecta of high profile trauma: their daughter born on the worst day in our generations’ lives, their daughter murdered in an assassination attempt on a member of Congress, and Democrat Fred Phelps aiming his hate machine at their family during their daughter’s funeral.
Democrat Phelps (an enormous supporter of Al Gore’s, though the media conveniently leaves off that he’s a Democrat and instead likes to imply he’s a conservative, which he is not…he’s a Democrat, and ran repeatedly on the Democrat ticket unsuccessfully for several elected offices) disrupted the funeral of Elizabeth Edwards last month, because it is what he does.

There have been photos posted of Fred and Al Gore.They make a lovely couple.
Seriously,I’ve been waiting to see if God will strike Phelps and company dead.A lighting bolt ot of a blue sky would be very impressive and very appropriate.
WBC is anti-Catholic too, given that one of their three main slogans is "priests rape boys" (to go along with "God hates fags" and "God hates the world").
Phelps' whole argument, that the shooting is some twisted "God turned the shooter on YOU" notion is based on the lie that the shooter was a Vet. False prophets don't let little things like facts get in their way. Like I said upthread - Phelps and WBC are disgusting on every level.
Not if I get there first.
The evil of the left is beyond comprehension...
This is about to ratchet up to a whole new level.
Green was the daughter of a Los Angeles Dodgers scout and the granddaughter of the wild man Dallas Green. A take no prisoners type of guy.
I wonder if Phelps will now back down.
Canya b’lieve this crap? I’m really, really surprised Phelps is still drawing breath, what with his stunts against grieving families. It must be the freak factor - the pause for WTF?!? - that spares him.
un-phocking-real...
“Former three-time Democrat gubernatorial candidate Fred Phelps Jr.”
Oh really. I never knew that.
This entire Cult should have been eradicated under "fighting words" and the "reasonable man standard" decades ago. #1 reason to bring back public dueling.
I sent this article to the PATRIOT RIDERS
they attend funerals to protect the families, mostly war veteran funerals. http://www.patriotguard.org/
I sent email to the Arizona State Captain of the Patriot Riders
I hope they will come to the funeral to protect the family.
Not eradicated - - tar and feathered. It is an appropriate protest with great historical precedents.
Seriously, is there a jury anywhere that would convict a person of tar and feathering these maladroits if they protest at this young girl’s funeral?
Not a chance.
Well done DaisyJane. I didn’t see this posted earlier. This man is beyond description, at least in civil discourse. Kudos to the folks at Hillbuzz.
Some who are members of the Patriot Riders could show up as individuals. That would be their choice of course.
Ever since I was child, when I first heard about dueling, I always thought it the most reasonable, honest method for two irreconcilable parties to finish an argument.
I was mortified beyond comprehension when I found out that dueling had been outlawed in America. *Outlawed*. In *America*, for heaven's sake.
I tie the rise of the legal class and the destruction of justice in America to the outlawing of dueling. It allowed words to take precedence over deeds, and made anathema the concept of putting one's life on the line in defense of one's honor, as well as expecting and demanding the same from your fellow countrymen.
Money is a poor substitute for blood.
Dueling was the only thing that kept an otherwise dishonest man to his word. Lies were punishable by death.
Since we lost that, we ended up with exactly what you describe.
The left is evil.
Dueling was the only thing that kept an otherwise dishonest man to his word. Lies were punishable by death.
Huh? That assumes the lying bastard would agree to a duel, and the one telling the truth, was the winner.
Dueling left a lot to be desired, especially if lying bastards were expert in the use of word, sword, and pistol.
You make a good point. The threat of a duel on the spur of the moment was perhaps the real force to be reckoned with.
The end result of the duel was no guarantee of true justice, I’ll grant that.
