They bring their children and carry signs that say "Thank God for IED's" to the funeral of an american soldier who was killed in Iraq.

How sad.

If people hate America so much then why don't they just leave?

Yep, these guys picket funerals of all gays that they can. Really class acts, but I notice a deafening silence from y'all when it's "just a gay citizen" and not a soldier.

Too bad they weren't the ones killed by the IED!:mad: The man dies protecting his family, friends, and country, and they have the testical fortitude to do such a thing. They arent americans, they are almost like who were are fighting in this war on terror!

GOD BLESS HIM!!

I just want to thank him for defending this country and i am sorry that those Mother trucker's did that at his funeral!:mad:

Allow Honor Guard to use live ammo. Ready - AIM - FIRE...

Not even Jane Fonda did that

OTOH; sick as it is; at least I can respect a Christian saying "Don't kill!" more than I can one saying "Bless this cruise missle, Oh lord; and send it unto the unbelivers"....

There is, at least, a moral consistency in their stance.

You don't ever criticize soldiers, (unless they committed crimes) you criticize the government and administration that causes the policies, never the troops. ~~Doing a job that most don't want and few can do. Give em hell boys!~~

"The first sin was being a part of this military. If this young man had a clue and any fear of God, he would have run, and not walked, from this military," said protester Shirley Phelps-Roper. "Who would serve a nation that is godless and has flipped off, defiantly defied, defiantly flipped off, the Lord their God?"

These morons need a dose of reality. Why don't we buy them all tickets (one way of course) to the "Holy Land" and let them protest there? Couldn't we consider them insurgents?

From the Article

"Do I like it? No, I don't. But what can you say, it's a free country," said veteran Dave Campbell.

I do not beleive the first amendment applies to these people at all. Not because of what they have to say but because of their approach and how they are saying it.

Ruining a person's funeral.....a time to honor a fallen soldier is not freedom of speech it's disorderly conduct and the police should arrest them. In fact I would agree with them being arrestd protesting any funeral. WHat nerve they have to protest a greiving family.

These people need psych evals and a really good look at WWJD.

One protester had an American flag tied to his belt that draped to the ground. He was holding a sign that read, "Thank God For IEDs," which are explosive devices used by insurgents to blow up military convoys.

1 these are not eurotards
2 they r christians who support moslims extremist.

Its a strange world out there.

I would say arrest for dishonouring a funeral.
Than blindfold em bring em to the middle of iraq with a sign on their back.

" we are western christians from the USA"

After that we might see some cool videos.
