Slimeballs protest at Reagan funeral procession
2004-06-11
These twits are the lowest scum imaginable! Can you imagine what any of the family in the funeral procession must have thought looking out and seeing these a-holes with their signs "Reagan in Hell"?! Are you proud of yourself, Ted Rall, you piece of s--t?! Isn’t that your slogan?

I ask for two things--
1. That the officer move out of the way.
2. That someone loan me a hand grenade.

#20  They're participation demonstrates Reagan's true greatness. I was hoping that A.N.S.W.E.R. or Ted Kennedy would step forward to embarass themselves and damage their own credibility. Reagan's presence divided the wheat from the chaff.

#19  Somebody should organize a protest against Phelps outside his own church.

#18  That someone loan me a hand grenade

"Loan" you a hand grenade? Do we get it back?

#17  Here's my reply:

** Requiescat in Pace Rex Veritas, Ronald Wilson Reagan, 1911 - 2004! **

("Rest in Peace, the True King!)

#16  That's so weird. I had the same reaction as AC when I saw the photo on drudge--Looks like the Phelps crowd!

Lo and behold! I get the answer at Rantburg!

I flipped him the bird about a decade ago in Chicago when they were "demonstrating" outside a gay-friendly Episcopal church in my neighborhood.

What a scumbag.

#15  We jumped the gun a little in assuming that the Phelps Phreaks were LLLs, but it turns out there were some positively identified El-Cubos emulating his mob today.
Castro slaves protest Reagan funeral.
In stark contrast to the Phelpers, this tribe of rancid freaks accuse Reagan of being ANTI-gay.
Like Phelps, these aging derelicts desecrate not only a funeral, but the Cross itself by using it as a prop in their shameful display of petty heartlessness.

#14  Thanks, Angie. You were a little ahead of me with that.
I should have recognized the signs, the striped "caution" motif is almost a Phelps trademark.
This mob of weirdos protested outside my church a while back (in Lubbock, TX) for Fred alone knows what reason. I remember reading that nine of his thirteen children are lawyers and two or three of them work for the Kansas Department of Corrections.
Fred himself is a disbarred lawyer.
They have bought up all the property around his home/church in Topeka, moved in, and set up a kind of fortified moonbat compound.

#13  oops..nevermind.

#12  Maybe it's the way I look at that photo, but it seems there are only about 3 people protesting...the ones holding the placards. That gray-haired old lady seems to be there for the right reason.

#11  Holy guano, gang!

It seems that the desecrators are not emulating the Phelps gang, they ARE the Phelps gang.

Fred is not an LLL, though he is in solidarity with their position on the Iraq war and US policy in general. Fred also has a site called "God Hates America".
Among other things, this charming work features a cartoon of an American soldier raping a little Iraqi boy.

#10  AC, this may have been Fred Phelps. That link goes to a pdf file at Phelps's site. It's a protest flier, reading, in part:

[Phelps's "church"] to picket funeral proceedings of Ronald Reagan...in religious protest & warning to a doomed nation: REAGAN IS IN HELL!

He betrayed the Great King! He gave America to sodomites! It is altogether fitting that the one who sold his nation out for Rock Hudson sodomites should now be buried by filthy Bishop Gene Robinson Episcopalian sodomites.

There's much much more. I just had to get the Rock Hudson part in there. There's even a bad xerox of a photo of Hudson on the flier.

Phelps's religion is not Christianity, it is hatred. He's just dressed it up in Christian trappings.

By the way, note that the photo of the protesters was taken by a Gay.

#9  At least they left the giant puppets home. Maybe they're in the shop.

#8  Although I did not like living in DC (too cold in the Winter, too hot in the Summer) I wished that I still lived ther just so I could 'show' these idiots how wrong that move was! No doubt this is the MoveOn/DU crowd. I hope that someday I get to exact some revenge for this treatment of our beloved President. If Reagan went to 'Hell' I hate to see whats in store for this crowd.

#7  This is, I believe, what is meant by the term "no class."

And that's being kind.

I'll say this much, if I'm still around when Carter or Clintoon kick the bucket, I'll make sure they're IN the ground before I disparage them.

#6  Obviously this is an attempt by L-Cubo devils to emulate the tactics of the barking moonbat gay- basher, "Reverend" Fred Phelps. These, as everyone knows, have been a great success in garnering support for Phelps' agenda *deep sarcasm*.

#5  Looks like some of the .308 targets vermin are giving the nazi salute. The guy on the right has a "middle-eastern look" as the collaborationist PC media might put it.

#3  Absolutely disgusting.

#2  Yeah but if we knew where they had parked, we could deflate all the tires on all their cars.

Not vandalism, mind you, but mischief. No permanent damage. Just a whole lot of inconvienence.

#1  Mean spirited people, looking for a cause. As my mother use to say:

It says more about them than it does about anything else.
