Radicals to protest at funeral - it's Phelps again.....
Radicals to protest at funeral

When Army Pvt. Jonathan Pfender is buried, the sidewalks outside the funeral home will be lined with protesters.

Ziemer Funeral Home in Evansville is handling the arrangements. The funeral home said Thursday information on services will be published in Sunday's Evansville Courier & Press.

His death, church members say, is God's punishment to a country that has turned away from the Bible. "One of (God's) weapons of choice is an (improvised explosive device)," said Shirley Phelps-Roper, the daughter of Westboro Baptist Church founder the Rev. Fred Phelps.

"Our forum of choice must be soldiers' funerals. Our job is to show America her abominations. God is punishing America ..."

2. Shirley Phelps is quite the piece of work...
She and her elementary age children are regulars on The Howard Stern Show.

Yup, she's the vision of good judgement.

3. Jesus, in a long-lost sermon, exhorted his believers to beware of IEDs.
Do these people have a clue how ridiculous they sound?

7. Well, what can I say? Stupid people like Phelps shouldn't breed. . .
and it wouldn't surprise me if one day it was found that Fred Phelps himself had sired half the grandchildren he's got.

8. The BBC had a great documentary on them
I can't remember the name of it, but someone posted it here and I saw it. A BBC reporter went undercover and showed what they were about. I felt bad for the kids because they were so brainwashed.
