The radical Baptist church known for picketing the funerals of American soldiers who lost their lives in Iraq has announced that they intend to protest Heath Ledger's stateside memorial service because he played a gay character in "Brokeback Mountain."

Stop giving them more coverage.  If we ignore them, they will go away.

Believe it or not, if you read up on this lot of vultures, one way they make money is actually the Phelps Chartered law firm.  What they do is get a city/county/etc upset enough to ban them and then sue for violation of first amendment rights.  Most places will settle rather than go through a trial so they end up making money with no legal costs because most of his kids are shysters that haven't been disbarred yet as Fred was (for perjury before the Kansas Court of Appeals).

Of course that law firm didn't do them any good in that 11 million dollar judgment against them regarding protesting at a military funeral.

It is a shame they don't actually believe in the book they claim to preach.  So stupid, let him be.

It is absolutely disgusting how bigoted and hateful groups who claim to believe in the "greater good" of mankind often are.

I am almost ashamed to call myself a Christian in light of such atrocities... but those people at Westboro Bible Church certainly are NOT Christians.

Anyone who tries to profit from someone elses demise is a dirtbag in my book.  Shame on them!  Christian or not, there is a certain unspoken code of respect that should be followed!
