This is only the TV story, which is all I was able to get. Sorry for the lack of true detail, but these bastards are every bit as evil as Cindy Sheehan....

Just Fred Phelps and his gang of hate-drunk loonies again...
Isn't there a group of vet bikers following this kook? Forming a perimeter to block the view for the funeral attendees?
I thought I read that somewhere.
Put in a call to the local VFW, and the Harley dealership. They'll drown them out.
As for Fred Phelps and the Westboro "Baptist Church", I'm certain God is reserving a special place for them.
Man that just busts my chops. Marine Lance Corporal David Huhn, and family, and friends, will all be in our thoughts tomorrow.
My brain is locking up, but hit the FReeper list. We need to hit these arseholes hard.

I concur with the VFW and the Harley dealers being the best venue to get the word out. We aren't too shabby on here, either, though :)
I'm sorry, I'm falling asleep, but if anyone in the area is available to counter those idiots, it would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks for the ping!
Holy smoke, I sure wish I could think of who to ping in time to notify some folks, but I think and pray Michigan won't let this family down.
This 'kid's' dad was a 'Nam vet who died earlier this year as he was leaving for deployment. A sister died at 13, I think it said. His uncle is a retired Marine.

Mayor James Barnes said the town was prepared to rally around the family and their fallen hero, a 2000 graduate of Portland High School. Huhn's father, Larry, died earlier this year at age 54. A sister, Jaime, died in a farming accident in 1990.

I emailed American Legion Riders in Michigan.
Thanks for the ping Freema.
Tonk, I know it's late, but could you ping your list. The funeral is at 11:00 this morning.
No, thank you.
Shoot, I forgot to mention his brother was a Marine, too.
was/is/and ever shall be : )
Since they are so heavy in the military, I'm guessing the VFW will be there. Do you know?
No, I don't. I assume they would, especially with the stories I found.
Guess what. My brother-in-law just bought another Harley, after having his last one stolen yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaars ago. He's joined a new chapter of ALR. He helped me get the word about on those other two funeral protests. I haven't heard any reports about how one of them, but the other...I understand Phelps decided not to attend.
My nephew, his only child, is due home from Iraq shortly, and safely, God willing. I'm on pins and needles.
Please tell your nephew "Thank you!" I'll keep him in my prayers.
Thanks, this could be a rough week, and until he's home safe, he's not home safe.
Thanks for the ping Freema.

PING
Not again.
when will these Anti-Americans ever stop.
What a disgrace,
God bless this hero, that has fallen for their and our freedom.
May his family find comfort in the Lord.
Just once I wish this A@@@Ole would come to Miami so I could punch his lights out and beat the crap out of him, know full well what would happen to me if I did.
Then I remembered what he is protesting.
BTTT
Unfortunately, there is no time to do more than has already been done. Contacting the ALR and VFW was the right thing to do. I feel confident they will honor our fallen hero.
Hi there: The media is also approaching some of the mothers of fallen soldiers and using them to prop up their anti-war stance.
I believe their Sons to be career military.
The networks prey on these mothers, understandably they are
emotional, mourning.
What could be more evil ?
I really want to write ABC, channel 7 in my area. They had a special on late last Friday night featuring these moms. I had to change channel because I think this is an abomination. The previews show the mothers totally against Prez Bush, I think they are coached at at time of emotional stress. Of course their Sons knew their mission and their purpose.
There is no draft. We need to remind apathetic sleeping Americans of this. They make it sound like these guys were pulled out of their beds at night...honestly.
bump
I totally agree with you.
The MSM should be ashamed of themselves and I feel for every parent,Mother,Father and the families that have lost their loved ones ,fighting for the freedom of Iraqis and ours.
If my son decided to join the military today,I would support this decision 100% and if he died for the cause he believed in, I would never ,in a million years, blame our President.
I understand that some Mom's can easily be coached, in a time of grief, to say what the MSM wants the rest of America to hear.
It is evil for the MSM to exploit grieving families and they should be called on it.
Thanks for the ping!
And don't get me wrong. In my prayers, I thank every family for their sacrifices, I am sure some will be understandably angry, they have that right too.
God Bless our Troops and our Fallen Heros. Their rewards will be great in eternity. The body dies, the soul is never ending !
I would stand next to you brother
I'd knock you both out of the way and have at him.
I am not getting you wrong.:)
I agree.
God bless our Troops,their families,our Fallen Heroes and their families.
A heartfelt Thank you, to all our Troops,their families and the families of our Fallen Heroes, for the service and sacrifice to our nation.
: )
We'd cover your back ... you make me proud. Marine ma
Don't BE makin' me cry, now, whispering sweet nothings in my ear!
(((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))
Now,if I was cryin' while I was having at him, that'd be ok, and you could feel free to make my cry more. Because THAT kind of crying indicates I'm pretty darned mad and everybody could just take one step back...
but THIS kind just reduces me to a sniveling idiot blindly searching for tissues ! )
Moms like you make GREAT Marines ... well done Ma
Patriotguard.org should know about this and I am sure they will be out in numbers sheilding this family from these embarrassing and evil citizens.
Shame on you : )
I am too. I reserve that opinion for a very, very few.
It is painful to read of the emotional damage that has already been inflicted on the family by the announcement of this "protest."
Phelps and Westboro "Baptist" are beyond the pale . . .
Only if you let us pull you off of him.
Truthfully I don't believe this man is nothing more then then a real life troll pretending to be a reverend while acting like an evangelist. He has to be an atheist acting out to embarass all true believers.
OK, but you've gotta promise to let me release my 'demons' first. LOL.
I don't think he is an atheist. I've seen him in action.
He is truly 'touched', IMHO, as they used to say 'bout folks who 'jus' wuddn't raight'.
