If you haven't heard of the Westboro Baptist Church you can google them. These are the people that give Christians a bad name.

Church gets Sued

I remember hearing about that. I can't come up with a reason as to why they would think God would kill soldiers because we don't give a shit if someone is gay. That's retarded. I'm surprised those assholes didn't get shot.

I`ve been following the antics of these yayhoos for quite awhile now. The "church" is composed mainly of members of one family and they are foaming-at-the-mouth NUTS!!
:devilhead :angerFU:
I saw those nut cases last year when we went to D.C. They were outside Arlington when we were there. I had to pull my wife away before she went off on them.

Looks like there's precedent to at least take this group's money.

I'm a member of the Patriot Guard Riders who were formed to shield the soldiers and their families from this specific group along with anyone else that might come along. We take our missions very seriously and it's too bad some people don't understand the difference between free speech and personal rights against having their privacy invaded. But I won't go into that here (Todd you can check my posts concerning this in the OCR at the other place if you want.) I have seen and heard these slime buckets in person a few times and it will turn your stomach. Even the most staunch first amendment people have spoken out against the actions of this group. Ignoring them isn't making them go away, they are mentally unstable. Especially the father and his immediate family. When I joined the PGR I was member 8900 and change. Yesterday there were 117,000 plus members nation-wide. As I said, we take this very seriously and it has been a life changing experience for me and I'm guessing most of us.
That said, I'm ecstatic that the court finally found some common sense against this mentally disturbed family and hit them with this huge verdict. Not that the family will ever see a dime, but it wasn't about that anyway. It's about protecting the rights of the family and their privacy.
If you've never been to a military funeral, I hope you go to one and pay your respects to the people who put their life on the line for our freedoms, both here and abroad. It'll literally change your life.

Nice post Hal, my grandfather was buried at Arlington. If these folks showed up I would hope there would be live rounds in those Marines' rifles...
That group wont be doing that bullshit in Maryland anymore, nor any federal funeral, it's against the law now. Seriously, those people should have been shot.

One of the funerals I was at was really bad, they pissed off a Marine so much he was on his way to beat the crap out of them but his buddies held him back. I can't imagine the emotions he was feeling, seeing and hearing that while attending a fellow Marine's funeral. A friend went with me and he had a hard time holding his composure too, they were just ten yards behind us if that far. The asshole's son was doing most of the screaming. I swear, one of these days someone is going to crack and kill one of them. Some of the bikers that attend these funerals aren't real stable, usually because they were in one of the wars.
