I was hoping for axe handles chains, not eggs and insults...

This is not a church but rather a group of lawyers looking to create a situation to sue someone and make some money.

Church members plan to return to Seaford on Wednesday to picket the funeral of another Marine killed in Iraq.

What despicable people..

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Fred Phelps group is despicable. It is not Christian. And their going to funerals is horrid. But folks need to be aware that the way this group funds itself is to take civil action against people who attack them. I can understand folks wanting to pop somebody for their behavior. But that is a criminal act. But now this group will sue those five who assualted them, and will probably win damages.
Just leave this Phelps group alone. What God is going to do with them is far worse than anything we can do to them.

They have a permit to be back for another funeral on Wednesday. That family issued a statement yesterday asking the good folks of Seaford to NOT allow a repeat of what happened Sunday.

[pghkevin]

Unfortunately, the evil side of my brain is working today. I would suggest that when one of the church members' family dies, that we picket their funeral, saying that it it God's punishment that they are picketing our military.

Turnabout it fair play, correct?

[sauropod]

This is why the DC Chapter's rules for protesting are so important.

Fred Phelps' Westboro CULT

There fixed it. These people are not a church and most certainly not Baptist

[navygal]

These people need to understand, if they are believers in Christ. They should represent Christ.

The church believes U.S. casualties in Iraq are God's retribution for America's support of homosexuality.

No. The group is anti-American and only pickets the funerals of our service men and women.

[Clintonfatigued]

I hear that Freepers sometimes attend these events to support the fallen soldiers and those attending the funerals.

If so, they should carry signs that say, "FRED PHELPS, GET A JOB!!!"

They have all this spare time to picket funerals. Don't any of those people work for a living?

[Dead Corpse]

Can't the police cite those Phelp's a-holes with "incitement to riot"?

[trooprally]

I thought Phelps was banned from Funerals?
I wish we could get a group that size.
Thanks for the heads up for Seaford Del.

Much as we might be angered by these loons from Topeka, we won't accomplish anything by assaulting them.

I like the counter-protesting bikers I've heard about. Now, THEM I'd join. (I know that Phelps guy doesn't like them much. LOL)
