Phelps protest in Richardson for soldier's funeral (PIX)

Yes, folks, it happened again - some of those Phelpsoids picketed the funeral of a soldier who was killed in Iraq recently. It happened on Saturday, June 17 at the First Baptist Church of Richardson, just north of Dallas, TX:



As it turns out, yours truly was just passing through, and I had my camera on hand, so what's a DU activist to do? Get out and document their shameful activities for posterity:



These people actually celebrate the killing of innocents. I always felt that Bartleby and Loki from Dogma were like a more rational version of Fred Phelps - and I have few doubts that some of these protesters would also get violent if they felt they could get away with it.



Phelps himself wasn't there, but the guy in the gray shirt and black sweatpants is apparently one of Phelps' henchmen. Notice the American flag he's standing on - it's tethered around his ankle so he can continue to trod on it while walking. Some of the other protesters did the same thing, tying flags around their shins or ankles.



This Talibornagain actually halfway posed for me. She's smiling. But why? Does she really think her tomfoolery will earn her favor with the God she professes to worship? Or was she simply orgasmic at the thought that the poor soldier whose funeral she's picketing is burning in Hell? Either way, she's in dire need of a spiritual enema.



Ladies and gentlemen, the Westboro Baptist Church seed-corn in action. The next generation of anti-gay, anti-Semitic, blind, unquestioning hate. This is probably the saddest picture of the bunch, especially when you consider that such hate may have been beaten into their fragile little minds.



Some of the Richardson cops on hand to maintain order. That legislation Bush signed into law doesn't completely ban protests at funerals; the Phelpsoids are allowed to picket until one hour before the funeral starts. When the time came, all of the protesters bundled into a maroon Honda minivan and another little red car and drove off with a police escort.

And there you have it. That soldier was probably someone's father, for cryin' out loud. Really classy of those cultists to claim that God is actually on their side.

"Thank god for 9-11", "Thank god for Dead soldiers", "Thank god for IED's"

These sub-humans are sick F**ks, and I wish god would smite the wholly Shit out of them.

They are disgusting and pathetic creatures and obviously don't even understand their own dogma.

Thanks for sharing and caring enough to document this for us, Derby!

Thankfully, I'll never know. Just goes to show some people can be encouraged
to believe anything. Pathetic.

I think Fred Phelps himself is given to numerous homoerotic fantasies, myself. He does all this as cover so that nobody will know.

CRAP! I was coming south on the access road, and suddenly traffic just STOPPED. I pulled a Uey under the overpass and went back up to Collins to get home. I figured it was a wreck, but I just saw cops standing around; wasn't sure what was going on.

Man, if I'd known, I would have gone back to Kinko's, bought stuff for a COUNTER-PROTEST sign, and got out there with you! Sorry I missed you, derb!

SICK

That's all...

I lived in that neighborhood in the mid eighties, an I just can't believe those Phelpsoids didn't have there asses kicked. Had I been there,I believe I would not have been able to contain myself. These Assholes have organization, so is there a schedule that they go by,and when and where is the next protest they plan in Texas?
