Good...those people to me are the very definition of 'EVIL'. I wish some of our fine soldiers would jump out from the bushes during one of these funeral protests and shoot every damn one of them...oops, maybe that make me evil too.

I am so happy to hear this good news. When I first heard about this "church" protesting at military funerals I was in utter shock. As a Christian myself, I was offended by their views and treatment of others. They are absolutely off base and what they did was equivelant to a hate crime. So again, I am glad they were fined for their actions. Lilly

Yea what a bunch of assholes. While I fully support religious freedom they went way beyond their rights. I am VERY surprised cities haven't cracked down on them for assembly without a license. As soon as some "skateboard" kids hold signs outside of a corporation it gets shutdown with a quickness. When someone is protesting a dead loved one slurring hate speech? No big deal.

Lol, that is the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas
. They`re just a small church, a couple of hundred members, lead by the "charismatic" pastor Fred Phelps. He runs a couple of websites;
...and the even more interesting:

Here Fred Phelps is preaching on Youtube:

He`s pretty obsessed with homosexuals, Soddom and Gomorrah and stuff, It`s pretty funny...

What do you mean by that, Jackrabbe? Are you talking about the Bibles view on homosexuality, or what the Westboro-idiots are doing at the soldiers funerals?
