I'm listening to local talk radio here in Boston, they were talking about the closing of the Walter Reed Army Hospital, one thing led to another and much to my horror they started talking about the protestors OUTSIDE Walter Reed, can you believe this???? There are anti-war protestors outside Walter Reed with mock caskets protesting the war, they get especially riled up on Friday evenings when the families come in for visits. This is outrageous, what kind of sick wackos protest outside a hospital where our boys are recovering from protecting our freedom?

After one of his "Church Members" meets his maker, I would like to go to THAT funeral and protest.

Just call me Bubba and my friend here is Bubba too!I'm in Tennessee and I don't think this will go over to good myself.

This is not a cool thing to do, I mean this is a grieving family trying to bury their loved one and this bunch of pukes are disturbing them in this time of sorrow? What ever they get they deserve, The Sheriff may be right about what Tennessee Bubba's can do when provoked by something this low.

If I was there I would keep an unwavering eye on these people. I'm sure I would see the rock that hit them and them fall out, but you can't always see everything that happens,like who threw the rock........

I was trying to come up with a legal and peaceful way of counteracting these pieces of crap. What about getting a couple of people to join in with their little protest carrying signs like “We’re a bunch of nuts” or “Look at me! I want attention!”? Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

We live close to the funeral in Smyrna. Just might have to go and try and keep these animals out.

In name only, it is clear.

Funerals are private events held on private land. They have no right to trespass. Let them protest on their own land.

Oh man, that would be too funny. It would certainly keep them off the CNN, which you better believe, is poised to make an appearance as well. GO FOR IT!!!

Disgusting viscious, whackos. Tennessee needs a MOAB to cover up their hateful signage. Sounds like the sheriff would grant the appropriate permit, placing some MOAB bearing freepers or other patriots between the crackpot crone and the mourners.

Phelps is an ass.

If God is punishing us with war dead for not outlawing homosexuality, then why did we have fatal casualties in WWII when in most states homosexuality was illegal?
