"Christians" like Phelps and the WBC whackdoodles are a good reason to root for the Lions.

This may be the first time in four years I've agreed with you. :)

I try hard not to hate anyone for their honest beliefs, but . . . These people need to die.

A series of Old Testament-style plagues would be more appropriate.

I have always somewhat wondered how a tiny church composed of basically one small extended family can afford to travel all over the country spreading the gospel of hate and bigotry.

Its gotta takes some big bucks to finance that much travel and time off from any gainful employment.

Can anyone shed some light on where those disgusting people are getting their money?

Having seen them on TV I am prepared to rule out prostitution and porn . . .

The Westboro Babtist Chruch, responsible for celebratory protests at the funerals of U.S. marines with placards saying "Thank God For IED's" and "Thank God For Dead Marines", will make a celebratory protest at Elizabeth Edward's funeral with some placards reading "Thank God For Cancer" and "We Are Glad She Croaked". She's Edward kennedy's wife and she was an atheist.

Those bozos sure do like to test the limits of freedom of speech... but that's where you can really see if a country has freedom of speech or not. Popular speech does not need protected. Sure wish they'd jump off a cliff or something, but as long as they keep getting attention they won't.

Someone explain to this kid about names, please.

They are a family of lawyers, and constantly sue people and municipalities for the shit they start. If the police ask them to move to a different area for example, violation of free speech, they sue. The city settles for more than enough to pay for their travel.

Eventually someone will kill the whole lot of them and we won't hear about them anymore.
