Wow. After watching that I feel like taking a long shower. This shows the extremes people will go to in order to have some sense of identity that sets them apart from everyone else.

These @$$#()<E$ are at it again... Today they hit a soldier's funeral here in Central Arkansas. Here is the story from our local CBS affliate. The link to the story is: http://www.kthv.com/news/news.aspx?storyid=29617 These guys give Christians a bad name, seriously. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Group Protests At Soldier’s Funeral
Family and friends gathered Wednesday in Beebe to say goodbye to fallen soldier, Army Spc. Bobby West. But they were joined by people protesting at the funeral.
West was killed in Iraq on May 30 after a roadside bomb exploded while his unit was on patrol in Baghdad. He was also the first Arkansas soldier to die since the state passed a law in April limiting protests at funerals. (See link for full text.)
However, it did not keep members of a Kansas religious group from protesting at West's funeral. The controversial group from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., has shown up at close to a hundred soldiers’ funerals.
They carry signs that many people find terribly offensive. One boy held a sign that read, “Thank God for Dead Soldiers" and another boy held the sign, "Thank God for IEDs." Their message: the deaths are God's punishment because the United States harbors homosexuals.
Meanwhile, the Patriot Guard Riders had about 300 riders to help shield the soldier’s family from the protesters. The group was created with the sole purpose of protecting the families from protesters at funerals. (See link for more on the Patriot Guard.) They flank the family’s car and make it difficult to hear anything other than the rumbling of their motorcycles.
The Westboro Baptist Church is led by Pastor Fred Phelps, and he and his followers began appearing outside funerals of American troops killed in Iraq last June.
Phelps says they will continue the protests despite restrictive laws passed by several states. In fact, some of the protesters have quit their jobs so they can travel regularly to soldiers' funerals. -

If you have time read Fred Phelps bio he's had such a messed up life and there are some really amusing bits in it that make him seem like such a hypocrit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rev._Fred_Phelps
Link to the story about Matthew Shepherd for those not familar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Shepard
Phelps also tried this:
Phelps later made attempts to gain city permits in Cheyenne and Casper, Wyoming to build a monument "of marble or granite 5 or 6 feet in height" on which will be a bronze plaque bearing Shepard's picture and the words: "MATTHEW SHEPARD, Entered Hell October 12, 1998, in Defiance of God's Warning: 'Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is abomination.' Leviticus 18:22." [12] [13] [14] [15]
