Pathetic and Disgusting

Briefly, Protesting at Soldier Funerals is repulsive and pathetic.

In the back of a truck, there were signs that read "Thank God for IED’s" and "Thank God for Dead Soldiers."
I was with the Phelps family. They’ve launched a disturbing campaign to tarnish the funerals of fallen soldiers.

Fred Phelps is the pastor of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka. The congregation is made up mostly of his family. Phelps has 13 children, 54 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.

He describes himself as an "old-time" gospel preacher who says, "You can’t preach the Bible without preaching the hatred of God."
