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?

I always hear about how easy and cheap it is to hire an illegal criminal hit man, yet, there those guys still are.

Proof the USSC was full of crap for giving these vermin a license to inflict emotional pain on grieving survivors...

[A_perfect_lady]

I mean “fate.” The fate they deserve. (blush)

[tnlibertarian]

I just want a front row seat so I can see the looks on their faces when they get the great big “I never knew ye” that’s a comin’.

[Walkingfeather]

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

[blueplum]

can somebody please find a legitimate Baptist church that is willing to sue the pants off these people for using the Baptist title? isn’t there some way to hit these folks in the pocketbook?

[diverteach]

Wouldn’t wanna be them come judgement day.

I wonder where they get their funding?

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.........

“The scum of the earth.”

Freed to roam, thanks to the SCOTUS.

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 it’s 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:

Ironically, about the only thing one we can do for them is to pray for them.

[Reagan69]

Why not every day he’s alive?

[Reagan69]

By the way, there are LOTS LOTS more of US than Them !

[Cheburashka]

Is there some reason that decent people don’t 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?

Where’s the Polonium-210 when you need it?!!!

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