Three members of the Westboro Baptist Church protested the funeral of Beau Biden, the vice president’s son, on Saturday, according to USA Today.

One man was arrested for throwing coffee at the protestors, the report said.

The three members of the Topeka, Kansas-based church were seen picketing outside St. Anthony of Padua church in Wilmington, Del. where at least 1,000 people attended a service for Beau Biden.

Well, I hope the coffee someone threw at the jerks was scalding hot.

They are going to lose their cult status if all they can scrape up is three bodies for their ‘protest’. They’ve been on hard times ever since that crowd busted out their van windows and ran them off.

Amazing that these three clowns get a headline - but the tens of thousands in annual March for Life isn’t even reported.

Wonder no more. The PGR is a non profit 501c3 organization that is non political. Biden the younger served in the Delaware Army National Guard and was a Major in the Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps. He was also deployed in Iraq. The PGR would have happily accepted an invitation had one been offered, and would have considered it an honor to have been there to honor Biden for his service, just as it does all men and women who serve this country.

That doesn't surprise me. Most larger affairs such as this, especially with both the president and vice president in attendance have plenty of security in place. Then there is this.

The level of intensity reminds me of Bruce Jenner - the need to inflict themselves on others. Maybe it’s just the personality of the demon riding on their shoulders.

Did they protest outside the funeral of the jihdists who were killed on the verge of a terrorist attack in Garland?

WBCCult seems okay with Islamonazism.

Democrats are loony.
