"I have seen the enemy..." (Protesters at soldier's funeral in Dallas)

That's right, folks - some of Fred Phelps' crazed acolytes picketed a Dallas-area funeral for a soldier killed in Iraq today, holding signs saying THANK GOD FOR 9/11 and GOD HATES YOUR TEARS. If you think that's incredible, watch out - I snapped pictures of the protesters, one of them up close and personal. Will try to post them tomorrow, as a bad thunderstorm is about to descend upon us.

if leftwing protestors showed up to insult a dead soldier, the piggy would kill them.....the fact piggy does nothing proves phelps is 1) part of a grand scheme to enrage the populace against all protests, esp. legitimate ones 2) colour the anti war effort itself as goofy 3)divide the people against themselves, with rightwing 'support the troops' clashing with rightwing cultural warriors who accuse the troops of fighting for a corrupt society; wingnuts get very edgy when confounded, and thus easier to direct to violence as a cure all...strangely enough, the fact the 'war' is really illegal also emboldens the fake protestors, who can claim that america is evil which the 'war' proves....
besides this, the paid rove agents only number about a dozen or so, so it's mischief making on the cheap- win win for the busheviks

This is outrageous behavior--right--left--whatever but it does make me wonder if there isn't a devious purpose behind them. Your explanation #1 seems to hit the nail on the head.....that's not good.

If it was one of my friends or relatives being planted...
