What I don’t understand is why it is only the Patriot Guard and supporters of the military, generally, who have taken on the Westboro/Phels group? Where are all the gay activists? Were any amicus briefs filed by any “Human Rights” or GLAD groups?

Also ... Is Mr Snyder still stuck with the Phelpses’ legal bill?

I don't know if any gay groups took part in any of this. Aside from the signs, Phelps pretty much leaves gays alone. If memory serves me right, Phelps and his gang used to protest at gay pride festivals and the funerals of AIDS victims. For whatever reason they've now focused their attention away from these type of events.

And, yes, Mr. Snyder is looking at a possible $100,000 bill. I thought I read somewhere that Bill O'Reilly has offered to pay it.

The homosexuals like Westboro because they’re the perfect poster child for “lunatic christians.” Every time they go out there they damage the reputation of all Christians.
