#2 At the March 11 funeral of Sgt. Gordon Misner II in here in Colorado Springs, the riders used large American flags mounted on their bikes to shield the mourners from these A**holes. They placed the flags between Phelps' small band of rabble and the funeral home so the family would not have to see this scum. Don't remember hearing or reading about the bikers gunning their engines.

Colorado (D)Rep. Mike Merrifield, has introduced a bill trying to balance the free-speech rights of protesters and the rights of families to mourn peacefully and privately. His bill would create a 300-foot buffer zone between the funeral and protesters. Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor that carries a $750 fine and six months in jail.

Five states have already enacted similar laws, including Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Another 27 states, including Colorado, are considering it.

#3 On Wednesday there was no need to conceal the Kansas group behind a wall of burly bikers. The protesters picked up and left after being photographed by media--long before most mourners arrived to remember the popular high school athlete from Lansing.

Run along, cowards. The media has helped you play your sick little game.

"I'm the only patriot standing here," said Shirley Phelps-Roper of the Topeka-based church. She then headed 30 miles up the road and picketed a veterans hospital.

Somebody should turn this bitch into a hood ornament.
