Someone oughta burn this church down.
Huge fine for anti-gay US church
'A church whose members cheered a soldier's death as "punishment" for US tolerance of homosexuality has been told to pay $10.9m (£5.2m) in damages.
The Westboro Baptist Church was taken to court by the father of Lance Cpl Matthew Snyder, a marine who died serving in Iraq in March 2006.
The church cited its constitutional right to free speech in its defence.
But Albert Snyder's lawyer urged the jury to ensure the damages were high enough to stop the church campaigning.
Members of the church - based in Topeka, Kansas - have denounced homosexuality for years, initially targeting the funerals of Aids victims.
But they later extended their pickets to the funerals of soldiers, who they say are being punished by God because of the US' tolerance of homosexuality.'http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7072404.stm

There are groups of bikers who go to the funerals these inbred hicks go to so they can drown out their cries of hatred by revving their Harleys.
Those guys (the bikers) are awesome.

I just wonder what's going to happen when one of them dies. The protest at that thing will be huge. And what are the Phelps' going to say when one of their own kind dies?
"Oh, he/she was probably a closet "fag enabler", so that was God's will."

LOUIS – The American Civil Liberties Union sued Maplewood today on behalf of a controversial Kansas-based church that protests at the funerals of soldiers, alleging that the city's funeral protest ban is unconstitutional.
