Phelps to picket (strong stomach needed)
Kelda:
Well, my thought was that while they might not get to Oz there is more than likely going to be a memorial service in either LA or NY.
They might try to picket that. But I think they'll be vastly outnumbered.. by fans for one...
and I'm sure the likes of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Guard_Riders and http://www.eatromaine.com/angel_action/angelaction.html will be there in force if asked.
tell you what, if you see them, give them a smack in the face from me.

It sure was. His daughter was there in all her mean glory.

Yes it was Clarissa. They are even more vile in person. We see the violence from Iraq, and around the world, but nothing has ever chilled me more than seeing and hearing them and walking through them. Even the air around them was foul.

Falwells funeral was a few days after the tornado destoryed Greensburg, Kansas. When I asked a meember of the group if they were from near there I was told the town was destroyed because they had a tavern open on Sunday.

This is the same ilk who attended Matthew Shepard's funeral carrying hate signs. Phelps has a website devoted to promoting his vile hatred as well. Unfortunately, they get away with their antics in the US due to freedom of expression protections. Personally I can't imagine a more insidious and dangerous force loose in the country than people of this mindset. They're pure evil, promote gross intolerance, hatred and have no mercy, no pity. They feed on media attention. If they didn't get it, they would be deflated and hopefully dry up quickly, but that won't happen. All we can do is keep vigilant and try to peacefully counter their untruths and evil. It gives the US a black eye when this sort of hatred is given a public voice. Phelps ranks with Hitler in his fanaticism and ideology. The eyes of the country and the world need to keep a close watch on him. He's a boil on the side of humanity.
