#3 I wouldn't want to be in his shoes, but I look forward to being at the funeral - with a picket sign, of course.

#5 Fred Phelps picketed the funeral of my young friend Cpl. Reed last year. It was extremely hard on the family. It was almost impossible for me and the other Veterans attending to refrain from seriously cracking his head.

#6 It's time to pass some laws to make this illegal.

#7 I'm not sure laws are what is needed.

#8 military establishment was packed and jammed with homosexuals

Interesting choice of words. I wonder if he knows he's a closet case or if he's repressed it even further than that.

#10 Or a work accident; as in fell and impaled on the pointy tip of the picket sign. 45 times.

#11 Phelps is criminally insane. He will cross the line too far. Only thing that is missing is the Kool-Aid.

#12 If you watch the video, it appears they don't deal well with confrontation. And it also appears that they have no qualms with inbreeding...

#13 Fred Phelps, pastor of the independent Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan.

I love how the MSM always reports this matter-of-factly, as if it's just another typical red state Christian church. When, in reality, it's a family cult with no standing in any Christian circles.

#14 No violence, please. Phelps' supporters have people videotaping each potential confrontation in hopes of violence, so that their slimy lawyers can then go to court and make more of a spectacle of themselves. Don't give them what they want.

I like the motorcycle dude's approach best.

#15 I'd pay for a crop duster to spray them with liquified dogshit. I mean, what would it cost? A couple of thou?

#16 2b,

A number of states have been passing laws against funeral protests. These laws haven't been tested in court yet.

#17 Agreed Dr. White. Unless it's in Taylor County FL. Then demand a jury trial.

#18 The dead don't sue except in Chicago.

#19 I encourage Fred Phelps to have a face-to-face with God. I don't think he'd survive. God does not like people like Fred Phelps. I will be praying that God corrects the attitude of this nutcase. Let no human hand intervene, but let God do what He will. I just want popcorn rites.

No violence? When was the last time you saw a 'slimy lawyer' suing a mafia family?
