A cruel irony, the blind leading the blind.

I find that rather ironic because the Teamsters terrorized me and my family for two years when I was young.

What is the WB protesting about?

I think she was a waitress at a steak house. Could be mistaken.

Patriot Guard Riders PING

They just protest in general at any well known funeral anymore. Anywhere they get media play. Of course, Christians are outspoken against them...very unlike muslims and their bombers.

Why these evil people are still breathing; still amazes me.

It shouldn't. Their behavior has two purposes:

to marginalize the anti-homosexual viewpoint, and

to provoke anyone into attacking them so they can sue him. This group is all lawyers. It must be maddening for them that, no matter how outrageous their behavior, no one will give them the satisfaction of throwing a punch. Let's keep it that way.

Sure would be a shame if the Westboro Baptists' cars were all illegally parked and had to be towed.

And the paperwork at the impound lot "misfiled"

And the paperwork at the impound lot "misfiled"

These things do happen. Also, it can be very hard to find hotel rooms in Boston. Sometimes it's almost impossible.

Depends.. If it’s rank and file. Teamsters all the way. Their leadership or wb??

Just plant me. No reason to have anyone there but the guy with the backhoe.

[cableguymn]

I think most of them have earned a spot on the do not rent list.

Not saying I’d condone it. But if a fire plug was plopped next to their van and it was towed. well..

or if someone let the air out of the tires at the hotel.. well..

Looking for their 15 minutes of fame while being as rotten to the core as they can be.

Exactly.

[OldMissileer]

Toss up as to who to have and my burial. Thug teamsters or crazy people.

I'll take the Patriot Guard but I am just a retiree.

[Born to Conserve]

The story and this thread seem to have a gag order on mentioning what the protest will be about. Something about fags? Are they for or against the fags?

No excuse for disturbing funerals. That’s just wrong.

[nutmeg]

How do these beyond-despicable members of the Westboro CULT have the means to pop up anywhere, any time at any funeral in the country? Just how many of these cult members ARE there?

[Mears]

You are a complete moron.
