[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

I very rarely post on this forum, but a friend called out, and I couldn't pass on his request. These nutjobs are an embarrassment to all who would call themselves Americans...

Just Fred Phelps and his gang of hate-drunk loonies again...

Put in a call to the local VFW, and the Harley dealership. They'll drown them out.

I wish I could be there to support Lance Corporal David Huhn and his family. May he be accorded the honor and dignity he and all of our fallen defenders deserve.

As for Fred Phelps and the Westboro "Baptist Church", I'm certain God is reserving a special place for them.

My brain is locking up, but hit the FReeper list. We need to hit these arseholes hard.

I concur with the VFW and the Harley dealers being the best venue to get the word out. We aren't too shabby on here, either, though :)

Holy smoke, I sure wish I could think of who to ping in time to notify some folks, but I think and pray Michigan won't let this family down.

This 'kid's' dad was a 'Nam vet who died earlier this year as he was leaving for deployment. A sister died at 13, I think it said. His uncle is a retired Marine.

Mayor James Barnes said the town was prepared to rally around the family and their fallen hero, a 2000 graduate of Portland High School. Huhn's father, Larry, died earlier this year at age 54. A sister, Jaime, died in a farming accident in 1990.
