Those Christian lunatics that Fred Phelps leads (of "god hates fags" fame) are now protesting military funerals. These guys are totally batshit.

Among those attending the funeral were members of Patriot Guard Riders, a veterans motorcycle group that provides an escort and color guard at military funerals. Lately, the group has been serving another purpose, that of shielding family members from a Topeka, Kan., church whose members have been protesting at military funerals, saying soldiers are dying because God is angry with America's tolerance of homosexuality.

About eight people from Westboro Baptist Church stood on the sidewalk across from the church, holding signs such as "God Hates America" and "Thank God for Dead Soldiers." The Patriot Guard members stood with their backs to the protesters and held up a large tarp so Hunter's family would not have to see the protesters as they entered the church.

The Kansas protesters left under a state police escort 45 minutes before the start of the funeral. They have plans to conduct a similar protest at Tuesday's funeral of Coretta Scott King.

Makes you wish the Baptists had tighter control of members of the convention when wackos like this can hold their insane hateful protests in the name of Baptists everywhere. The Catholics may have their issues, but it is an argument for better control of your religious dogma.
