Fresh off their Supreme Court victory allowing them to picket funerals of military soldiers, members of the Westboro Baptist Church have announced plans to picket the funerals of seven Mennonite children killed Tuesday night when their Perry County farmhouse caught fire.
The children, ages 7 months to 11 years, were killed when a fire started in the home while their mother was milking cows and their father was on his milk delivery route.Their three-year-old daughter managed to escape and alert the mother, but the fire had already overwhelmed the wooden structure, police said.
The group from Topeka, Kan., said the death of the children was "just punishment at the hand of an Angry God" displeased with the failure of Pennsylvania residents to heed Westboro Baptist's call to "put away rebellion and obey the Lord your God."
Funeral arrangements for the children have not been announced.

How true. Very interesting point you’ve made. Makes me wonder what their real intentions are. These are the strangest people I’ve ever seen. Their sole reason to live seems to be to kick dirt in the face of families who mourn and for their dead love ones. The one group of people I’d enjoy seeing Muslims declare a holy war on.
I wonder where they get their funding?

Should we create an opportunity to picket at a westboro baptist funeral... maybe a mass grave one?

Westboro Baptist is not a church, they are a deviant pseudo-christian family of attorneys who's income is based on successful lawsuits filed against anyone who attempts to violate their self-proclaimed "freedom of speech". They have successfully bastardized the U.S. Constitution, as scumbag attorneys will, and profited at the expense of all the families of the deceased veterans they have publicly protested.........

AS if that poor, poor family has not suffered enough. We often left our kids asleep in the house when we went out to milk the cows. What a nightmare, then those blasphemers threaten to make it even worse.

One day when that Phelps family loses one of its dear members I hope the world tuns out to cheer for the departure of a devil who no longer walks the earth!
I would like to be in line of thousands shooting the moon as the procession drives by. Phelps is evil dude. He reminds me of this guy:

Is there some reason that decent people dont just beat the $*** out of these horrible creatures when they show up at a funeral?
Because the Westboro demonstrators are women and children. Decent people have this thing about beating up women and children, no matter how obnoxious and evil they are. Yeah, Phelps and his demented offspring are hiding behind skirts and their maliciously mis-educated children, but what can you do?

The Bible says that whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. So, at some time, this will come home to them.
