Pam Spaulding of Pam's House Blend has obtained a copy of this flyer distributed by Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church, expressing their intent to picket a speech by former vice presidential candidate John Edwards Mar 4.

The Westboro Baptist Church has repeatedly traveled to picket against gay rights and gays, including the funeral of Matthew Shepard, a gay student who was beaten to death in the late 1990s in Laramie, Wyoming. They have also rallied to celebrate Shepard's death and the death of another gay man, Scotty Joe Weaver, who was murdered in Alabama in 2004.

Looks like Phelps is gearing up for another nutcase protest, hopefully this one will get him plastered all over the TV screens where average, everyday Americans have a chance to see just where all this "it's ok to hate gays" attitude promoted by the wingnutz and ShrubCo is leading us, I think the remark about God warning Edwards by killing his son would make alot of normal folks take a hard look at the real issues.
