Fred Phelps' Religious Group That Protests Soldiers' Funerals Must Face Its Day in Court

I've come across some pretty fucked up stories but this one takes the fucked up cake.

The Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, an organization led by Fred Phelps (a man who, for all intensive purposes, is the Antichrist) have decided to go around protesting soldier's funerals because a) they love God and b) they really hate faggots.

Initially, when I heard this story, I thought, "oh this Marine must have been gay." I have no problem with homosexuals in the army or out; that's just what I assumed this "group" was protesting about. Then I did some more research.

It turns out that the Phelps Klan protests as many soldier's funerals as they can; not because these soldiers were gay but because (they believe) our country (and subsequently these soldiers) represent a tolerance of homosexuality that needs punishment (it is God's will; they're just acting it out).

This kind of backwards thinking makes me literally sick to my stomach. If our government wants to do something productive, they can start by unleashing some "shock and awe" on the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka and then Fred Phelps' house. These people aught to be shot (actually tortured and then shot).

The Phelps Klan included little children who held signs that said "Thank God for dead soldiers" and "Semper Fi Fags" and "Thank God for IEDs," (referring to the improvised explosive devices that have killed many servicemen and women in Iraq).

I am normally not a fan of any kind of civil lawsuit or defamation case, but if there ever was a scenario that would warrant one; this is it. Must of these suits are frivolous and/or ungrounded, but not this one. The name of the 20 year old, fallen Marine was Mathew Snyder; his father is Albert Snyder.

How (or why) Albert Snyder didn't take baseball bat to the heads of these protesters when he buried his son is beyond me (I don't think I could have held back). He deserves every penny that Phelps and his fucking church have; he deserves their cars, jewelry, land, real estate; he deserves everything they've got and everything they've ever had.
