Westboro Baptist Church: We will picket Elizabeth Edward's Funeral

[Aratus]

Batman --- if their singular theme is that society is totally falling apart around us,
the poor dear woman had a cheatin' hubbie... and yes, they are a fringe faction...

What does their protest have anything to do with her funeral?

None .

Like mushrooms. Give them less shit and they won't prosper.

You made me belly laugh at that. Thanks!

They are irrational AND misguided for protesting strangers funerals who do not make policy that offends the beliefs they have , OR , they are just evil scum who are intentionally trying to provoke violence to profit from law suits , or , all of the above .

Has it occurred to anyone that the soldier whose funeral is being picketed might have killed an innocent civilian in Iraq or Afghanistan?
No need to make a big deal about a murderer's funeral being picketed.
In Elizabeth's case, they should leave her alone.

Has it occurred to you that the soldier might have died while trying to save a kid from a firefight or trying to rescue another American?

They are the offspring of an mkultra acid cult experiment gone wrong.

I really hate this extended family of fanatics...but what can you do? They have the right to say whatever they please. Picketing funerals and disturbing the right of a family to mourn in peace is sickening.

They express their opinions. Their right to do so, but what sickness would drive them to do it? It is people such as these that give whatever group with which they identify themselves bad names. Many will see this and think, albeit erroneously, just how twisted and evil are christians.

Explain to me why a funeral isn't private property?

Why don't these people just tattoo on their heads "We are the skuzziest skanks around!"

It should be a requirement for protesting funerals.

I think it is outrageous agression against an innocent family, not 'free speech'.

Not that anyone deserves to have these vultures anywhere near their funerals, but why her? Elizabeth Edwards was not a lesbian or a Jew. I don't think she was a particularly vocal supporter of the war either. These fuckers aren't even making a point about homosexuality anymore, they're just desperately seeking negative attention wherever they can find it and are wildly successful in this pursuit. Eventually, I'm pretty sure someone's going to smash their skulls in with a baseball bat in front of a thousand witnesses, and when that happens, no jury will convict him.
