Those ****ers from Westboro Baptist plan on protesting funeral for 7 kids
Man this really ticks me off because it hits close to home. I'm originally from Perry County although I am from the other side of the county (right over the border from Dauphin & Cumberland). This story is tragic, the Clouse family was your basic rural family, the mother was out milking the cows when the fire struck. Of their 8 kids only one survived (the one that ran out to mom to tell her about the fire). Now I find out Westboro is protesting this? Why are these assholes protesting this funeral other than the fact that it was so tragic. Hell in that part of Perry County you are more likely to find supporters of Westboro/anti-gay folks. But I highly doubt this protest will endear the folks of rural Perry County to Westboro and the Phelps family.

Westboro Baptist Church plan to picket fire victims' funeral met with shield efforts
The family wants everyone — family, friends and complete strangers — touched by the tragedy in this small farming community to have one, grandfather Noah Sauder said.
Funeral is Tuesday. But not all who show up will be welcomed.
Members of the Westboro Baptist Church have threatened to picket the service, and that has incited a huge backlash from people who want to shield the hateful protests from the grieving family.
“We just think it’s wrong. It’s just absolutely wrong,†said Kendra Shaffer, who plans to drive to the service in Perry County from her home in Newville and form a human chain to block Westboro’s signature signs and parody songs.
<<<snip>>>>
Even Sen. Bob Casey Jr. encouraged push-back.
“If this protest goes forward, I hope that the people of Perry County and the midstate will come out to support the family,†Casey said.
BTW where is Toomey - why isn't HE speaking out against this?

1. It boggles my mind how those inbreds have not been shot yet.
I find it kind of hard to criticize this DUmmy since I wouldn't lose any sleep if they did get shot, however we keep hearing how the left never ever ever condones violence.

4. Whatta u gotta say in this country to drive someone mad?
You tell them you want to give them health coverage, they come out armed.
Tell them god hates dead soliders...
Nothing.
Ever hear of the Patriot Guard Riders? They go these funerals and counter protest Fred and his gang of merry men.
Most of them, if not all are Christian Conservatives. I have 2 members in my extended family that are PGR.

6. This is even worse - WBC is saying God hates 7 innocent dead children
Libs hate innocent unborn children.

...Fred Phelps will himself be needing a funeral.
If any of his members die, I fully support protests of that funeral.
