Phelps announces plans to picket 9-year old victims funeral.

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.

In retrospect, perhaps ‘send’ would have been a better word than ‘summon’...

That would make more sense, my blood is still boiling over this story. I just don’t know where good human decency went, and how we get it back.

He's past the point of insane. He's EVIL.

He's already done crazy actions, far too many.

I fear this latest unspeakable horror of his will not end well, except that as a result, he will begin assuming room temperature.

The liberal instituted policy of releasing mental patients and closing down the institutions bears fruit.

Now those on the Left who said nothing against Phelps can get a taste of their own medicine.

“But Phelps is playing with fire’’. Play with fire and you get burned.

Get over yourself.

Those at the rally were not GOP and not Conservatives.

This hasn’t anything to do with the 9 year old.

It is the child’s funeral they are going to picket.......so get over yourself... I don’t care if the people killed were green martians, they had family that loved them and do not deserve the Phelps klan..

Who in the Left stood between Phelps and military families’ funerals?

Who in the Left denounced Phelps?

Who in the Left did anything about Phelps except defend his “right” to desecrate military ceremonies?

This isn’t about a 9 year old; it is about Phelps, the Left, and Karma.

BTW, what have you ever done to stand against Phelps and his crew?

The same way we got here.

Reward the behavior we want and punish the behavior we don’t.

It took the left decades to get the behaviors they wanted widespread.

Be prepared for the long haul.

No one on the left, but he is one of them and you are condoning their actions at this child’s funeral.

This man is clearly insane. I suspect that some day his crazy words will lead him someone to some crazy action. It won't be him it will be some poor big hearted person driven beyond endurance.

The father told Megyn Kelly today that his wife and daughter were Obama supporters, and that he was not.

Look up the word “condone”.

You’ll find that I don’t condone what Phelps does.

But sometimes I do find some small satisfaction in ‘what goes around comes around’.

I pointed out to a couple of liberal friends of mind that Phelps is one of “theirs.” To say they were less than pleased and reacted badly to it would be an understatement.
