RALEIGH, N.C. (WGHP) — The Westboro Baptist Church, a Kansas church famous for its anti-homosexual protests at funerals, said it plans to protest at the funeral of Elizabeth Edwards on Saturday.

The church plans to protest for 45 minutes before the funeral starts at 1 p.m., according to the church's website.

The church did not provide a specific reason for the protest.

What's the problem? Was she gay too?

I'll answer my own question - the only reason they're protesting at her funeral is because she's well-known.

Phelps and his ilk are attention whores. Pure and simple.

Eventually they'll pull this shit at the funeral of someone who has a bereaved survivor with a gun and nothing to lose, and no amount of judicial bullshit about the First Amendment is going to uncrack the egg.

Sick.

Leave the woman alone!

Anything to get your name in the media, I guess.  It's sick, but that's all this guy wants... attention.

Note to Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church:
Why are you defiling a great woman. Sure, I may not have totally agreed with her politics. Elizabeth Edwards is not going to Hell. YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!

For the record, I hate Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church more than I hate rabbits.

No she wasn't. She was a limousine liberal.

Anyone remember how she treated her neighbor who put up the "Giuliani for President" sign in his front yard. She wouldn't try and resolve the differences because the guy was a crazy republican because he owned guns.

True, but her family (especially her children) do not need phelps and his trash raising a ruckus at her funeral.

This is one time that being bi partisan or whatever you want to call it is needed. The more that stand between them and Mrs Edwards on her day of final rest the better. One town completely cut them off from even getting anywhere near the town when they closed off all the roads to the city. Sounds likea very good plan and easy to do even in a small town like mine witha Population of over 5K.

Gee Wasp, from some of your posts about this woman I would have thought YOU would be there with your own sign reading --    GOD Hates Woman Who Stay In A Marriage For The Security And Money.     :fuelfire:

Please reread some of your former posts on this woman.      When I praised her for her dignity and pure guts with all life gave to her, you Poo Pooed me.

On the other side I also wonder what kind of signs these subhumans will carry.  They do not believe in divorce and as far as I know she was still married at the time of her death.

Anyone want to bet that the signs will relate to husbands that fail their wives, will the signs be subtle, God hates those that are unfaithful?    God hates adulterers.---The seed of an adulterer is born a Bas**rd.

Should be interesting to see what the Phelps come up with.

She died so young and her children will never know the excitement of placing their own child in her arms.     

Darn I feel so sad for a life taken of a young mother.  She the mother is at rest but the children must go on without her.

I got in your ass for trying to martyr and romanticize this woman's life and her husband.  In no way does that mean I think her children need to be exposed to phelps and his merry band of harridans while she is being laid to rest.

Learn the difference, you bi-polar twat.

WASP, I have not been called a Twat in 30 years, thanks for the memory's.

Biopolar  that is a possibility, but that is a disease as is breast cancer.

Now I had no idea you have such a thin skin that you cannot debate, much like Fred Phelps on any thing you do not believe in.

Did I hit too close to home for you that caused you to rear up and throw out ---to some insults--to me, a good laugh.

No I will not bitch slap you, I only give high 5  to anyone.   

You may think as you will, but it disturbs me the reaction I received from you.  Can we reason together , I at no time called you a pencil necked geek, a mommas boy or a physio that needs a good whipping in the shed out back.

So you are the first to call me out as a Bipolar  Twat, what fun I am going to have with you.

Best duck and cover as I will be watching you every step of the way------Prepare to be dammed by this bipola twart .

 My sincere regards     Vesta.

Oh hell Vesta.   I didn't chime in yesterday, as I didn't have the time to dedicate to this, but I do today, so here goes.  There is not one iota of redeeming quality in John Edwards.  Powerful man, or regular every day Joe...it matters not.  The man cheated on his wife.  He did not hold true to his vows.  There are NO excuses.  None.  Zip, zilch, nada.   So, he was there with his kids....when the woman HE disgraced died.  Even if it was some altruistic namby-pamby crap to support the kids, it doesn't matter.  He does not deserve any excuses, or any favors.  Now, with all that said, Elizabeth was no saint.  We all know that, but we aren't hateful mean vindictive people here.  We will pay respect for the departed, especially since she handled her situation with a significant amount of grace and dignity.  Had she acted out like a whining, sniveling kid, well, I don't know. But she maintained a facade of dignity, for her children's sake, and for that I am respectful.

But for the love of God and anything holy, Fred Phelps is an evil man.  The only one that deserves a Fred Phelps service at their funeral is Fred Phelps.  He is a horrid, evil man.

Yes, they are both diseases.  Good thing you aren't married to a shyster democrat politician, huh?

Vesta, I have no doubt in my mind that you are a very sincere person.  Most people here are very sincere people. 

Difference is, most of the posters here at the CC don't post rambling, stream of consciousness things that tend to meander off the edge of the map.  Nor do most here try and excuse the behavior of two corrupt liberals because one of them died from cancer.  Nor do they try and assume that Jim Jones was a pawn or a patsy or "there's just something more to this".

Now I had no idea you have such a thin skin that you cannot debate, much like Fred Phelps on any thing you do not believe in.

No, you have no idea.  Stick with those 4 words, dear.

I can debate, but I don't suffer fools lightly.

In normal "debate", the general requirement are two reasonable people with differing viewpoints and a rational discussion of them.  Not trips into an alternate universe where scum like John Edwards is a "true gentleman" and terminal diseases make wholesome people.  Those are not debatable points.

Calling someone out on blatant stupidity is not debate, Vesta.  It is calling someone out on blatant stupidity.  Learn the difference.

I care about you, Vesta, as I do with everyone on this board so I am very sincere when I say you need to get a grip on some of the things you say.

Dear Wasp,

I do understand your complaints about my writing, however as this whole forum and computers are new to me, with in the last 5 years or so, I am still trying to work out the quirks and learn to write without the stream of related stuff.

Give me time and in 20 years or so I may be able to make sence to you.--- by then perhaps I will be able to understand myself.    ::)

Fred Phelps and his disgusting minions will no doubt suffer the wrath of God one day.

Perhaps that will do it for the Phelps but why on planet earth do these people be allowed to make money on the backs of grieving people.?

We all so soon rather leave it to God to punish the wicked in Heaven yet if we read the Bible, God did not want to wait that long, he had us humans fight his battles here on earth.

Is it a coincidence that good thyrumps over bad 90% of the time.  Few Evil society's exist for the most part and they come crashing down in time.

Look at history, the Evil loose every time, the good always wins over the bad.  This cannot be a consistence that happend from time began for us.

This a weird fact in nature that has no explanation then sooner or later those that are evil will rue the day.

Some of us call it Kama, others the will of God--  Whatever life on planet earth with an overseer, God will not allow the nasty into heaven or hell until they get their comeuppance here on earth.
