If the Phelps family had any REAL balls, they would go to Ferguson and protest THAT funeral!

If they were really that upset over a US remake of a foreign film both made decades ago, they would’ve protested outside Robin Williams’ home a week before his death.

Such drama queens.

Did they 'warn the living' that the head of the WBC played a gay man in real life ?

That's about as un-Christian thing they could do.

They aren’t Christians, they’re lawyers. They live by suing people.

I’m sure the WBC members will get their judgement from God.... But if he ever wants to subcontract that out. ... I’m available.

What more do they want. The man lost his way then in turn gave up his mortal life. His family suffers tremendously. Let the man rest in peace. Each one of us have to answer to what we do as humans. Those people are just totally despicable. If I knew anyone as that, in my life, the pain would be overwhelming. Now, this family is their target. I don’t think they will get near that funeral. Someone posted a link last night on this site that this church (some sort of cult) is associated with some democrats. Seems if true, then it’s motivated by keeping certain issues in the news for sympathies to a cause. Let the man alone and his family. Because it s the practical and righteous action to see and to aspire with. Not this.

The leftist Westboro goons would be marching in support of the strong-armed robber thuggish Brown. After all, their now-deceased liberal leader, Fred Phelps, was the recipient of numerous awards from racist outfits such as the NAACP. He was a so-called "civil rights" activist and a DemonRAT through and through. Phelps relocated to Topeka because he was a lawyer in support of the notorious Brown v. Board mandate from the commie Warren court.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Imagine the chaos that would ensue.

Ever notice they never protest at actual gays’ funerals?

They protest someone who played a gay man at a movie.

Please God.

Hit them with an awesome hail storm...

Please, God, hit them with some awesome punctuation; a couple of periods and a comma will do.

They are not that sharp.

April 2006 USMC funeral.
A local Police Chief and the Patriot Guard Riders shut them out.
A slight last minute change of the route left the phelps gang behind the Patriot Guard with their engines revving.

“Ever notice they never protest at actual gays’ funerals?”

They never protest outside a gay bar, gay pride parade, planned parenthood...the list goes on and on.

If they can protest him playing a gay man, I protest them playing a Christian.

“By your love, they will know” you”, “Love the sinner, hate the sin” and, “Know a tree by it’s fruit” come to mind.
