Phelps-Roper is a member of a Topeka, Kan., church that conducts anti-homosexual picketing at funeral services for U.S. soldiers.

Hmmm. Smells fishy, like the reporter trying to pretend the scum-bag is something different than a left-wing America hater.

Sadly, the reporter is accurate. The Phelps “Westboro Baptist Church” actually does protest at soldiers funerals stating that the soldiers die because god is mad at the US for our “tolerance” of homosexuality.

I personally believe that they are Democrat operatives whose act is designed to make Christian, anti-homosexuals look bad. They reveal their true beliefs when they abuse the flag and protested Falwell’s funeral.

The Phelps family is ONLY about the money. A lawsuit will follow and whatever insurance company this community has will settle out of court rather than go through the long litigation that will surely ensue. They've done it before and will do it again. It's how they earn their living.

Thats the westboro baptist church gang who goes all over the country picketing at all sorts of funerals with their god hates fags signs.

They were going to picket at the funerals of a couple of miners killed in an accident here over a year ago, until the state police heard people were planning on shooting into the picketers. Phelp’s bunch left town before someone killed them.
