NORWAY, Maine --A church that has placed pickets outside funerals of U.S. soldiers plans to be in Maine as Army Sgt. Corey Dan is laid to rest on Saturday.

Thanks! So are they spending the money they've screwed out of taxpayers, or is it coming from somewhere else?

[SheLion]

There are plenty of threads about these folks on FR. But I haven't seen any reports on where their money's coming from.

Probably information they don't WANT us to know!

[longtermmemmory]

more media games.

The moron has to be a plant because they don't state the fact this "church" is a one man show.

What actually motivates these people? No matter how stupid the are, they can't believe this helps their "cause."

Radical right-wingers are usually very quiet and stealthy. There just aren't that many of them, anyway. (Except to the MSM, which thinks we're all nuts).

These protestors look like the same people posting that "I'm sorry" crap after the '04 election.

[mewzilla]

Usually following the money is a good investigative tack to take. And if they are spending money they've screwed out of taxpayers to do this, hope future juries keep that in mind if these guys go to court again.

To myself: Fred Phelps looks like a nut.

ROTFLMAO

Groups like this are nuts and tend to get violent, which is the scary part.

No Fred's family has like 27 lawyers. They would just sue. If you've ever seen them, most of them aren't bigger than a stick. They couldn't get violent with anybody

So, they are all mouth.  But why would they take the chance of getting their butts blown away?  Seems like they are just inviting trouble, IMHO.

Some people should just vanish into the night and fog.

[billbears]

That's exactly what they're doing. I think they want someone to physically attack them, as it will get them even more publicity. And I wouldn't put Fred in the anti-American camp as much as the anti-everything camp. According to the church of Fred everyone except his church is wrong on everything. There's a couple of pages up on Wikipedia and elsewhere that try to put together a history on him. The man is an absolute loon and has been for a very, very long time

[SheLion]

The man is an absolute loon and has been for a very, very long time.

And he surely looks like a loon.  I, too, would like to know how they get travel money.  We could put a kabash on it real quick.

There is a group called Patriot Guard that musters around the country to provide a shield from these idiots. The Guard "quietly" ride their Harleys, etc. between these morons and the grieving family, ensuring these fools do not get close enough to interrupt the proceedings. Do a Google search for their home page, I am sure they have already mustered for this funeral.

THAT'S the group I saw on Fox News!  They ride motorcycles and become a shield between the idiots and the funeral.  They are to be commended.  I wonder if they will be coming to Maine this Saturday?

Have you heard that this group is actually a bunch of far-left trolls, out to make Christians look bad? I have, and I believe it.
