Oh man...I am in Macon and not that far from Athens. Unfortunately my car is lucky to make it to town. There is no way I could drive it to Athens. I really want to go up there if I can find a way to do it.

I found this press release, on their website, that pertains to Lauren Burk. I’m sure some of the same sentiments apply to Eve Carson.

Where do these jerks get the money to travel around, injecting themselves in the personal tragedies of others?

I'd be up for making their collocation inconvenient.

Yawn. These idiots don’t even upset me anymore. They are boring and are just publicity whores. They make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

They will be about 5 miles from my house on Sunday. If I see Fred Phelps, I may ask him to check the oil leak under my van.

All of the Atlanta TV stations and CNN have been alerted to Westboro’s plans to picket/protest at Lauren and Eve’s funerals. Also, my daughter just e-mailed me that a notice about the Westboro group’s plans has been posted on Facebook, so the kids are aware and calling for counter-action as well.
I know that Westboro has a right to protest, but I really hope that we can prevent them from impacting these funerals. Lauren and Eve’s families and friends have enough to deal with.

As if these poor families haven’t suffered heartbreak enough. These people are subhuman!

I think I need a shower after viewing that “press release” from these ignorant fools. These people are pure evil. They do NOT represent the true God, nor Christianity, nor Baptists.

Mayhap they are just protesting death,

You're a very forgiving soul, my friend... but if you look at their signs and listen to their words, that's a far cry from what they're doing. "This is God's punishment for not following His Word" is usually their basic message... just what a grieveing family of a slain student body president or fallen Marine needs to hear.

Look, their whole premise for celebrating funerals is to show that “God” caused them to punish America for being pro-homosexual

Now that these appalling unbalanced nuts hidng their hatred behind the First Amendment are running short of miltary funerals to disrupt, it appears they are going to focus on taunting the grieving families and mourners of murdered children

I think only people on FR know of Phelps and Algore’s cozy relationship.

"I think only people on FR know of Phelps and Algore’s cozy relationship."

That relationship is long over.

From Wikipedia,

During the 1992 presidential campaign, Phelps protested Hillary Clinton during a campaign speech in support of the Clinton-Gore ticket at the University of Kansas on October 14, 1992. In Bill Clinton's second presidential campaign, Phelps and the Westboro church also opposed Clinton and Gore because of the administration's support for gay rights.

The entire Westboro congregation picketed a 1997 inaugural ball,[45] denouncing Gore as a "famous fag pimp."[46] In 1998, Westboro picketed the funeral of Gore's father, screaming vulgarities at Gore and telling him, "your dad's in Hell."[46]

They don’t even belong in a freak show. At least freaks don’t piss people off, like WBC low lives do.
