Where are the Sheehan bashers? Look at what this crazy old fool is out there saying about our troops. What a bunch of tools!
Rev. Phelps is like a SNL character.

S0ME BIKERS HAVE AN 0PEN MIND"
ORT CAMPBELL, Kentucky (AP) -- Wearing vests covered in military patches, a band of motorcyclists rolls around the country from one soldier's funeral to another, cheering respectfully to overshadow jeers from church protesters.
They call themselves the Patriot Guard Riders, and they are more than 5,000 strong, forming to counter anti-gay protests held by the Rev. Fred Phelps at military funerals.
Phelps believes American deaths in Iraq are divine punishment for a country that he says harbors homosexuals. His protesters carry signs thanking God for so-called IEDs -- explosives that are a major killer of soldiers in Iraq.
The bikers shield the families of dead soldiers from the protesters, and overshadow the jeers with patriotic chants and a sea of red, white and blue flags.
"The most important thing we can do is let families know that the nation cares," said Don Woodrick, the group's Kentucky captain. "When a total stranger gets on a motorcycle in the middle of winter and drives 300 miles to hold a flag, that makes a powerful statement."
At least 14 states are considering laws aimed at the funeral protesters, who at a recent memorial service at Fort Campbell wrapped themselves in upside-down American flags. They danced and sang impromptu songs peppered with vulgarities that condemned homosexuals and soldiers.
The Patriot Guard was also there, waving up a ruckus of support for the families across the street. Community members came in the freezing rain to chant "U-S-A, U-S-A" alongside them.
"This is just the right thing to do. This is something America didn't do in the '70s," said Kurt Mayer, the group's national spokesman. "Whether we agree with why we're over there, these soldiers are dying to protect our freedoms."
Shirley Phelps-Roper, a daughter of Fred Phelps and an attorney for the Topeka, Kansas-based church, said neither state laws nor the Patriot Guard can silence their message that God killed the soldiers because they fought for a country that embraces homosexuals.
"The scriptures are crystal clear that when God sets out to punish a nation, it is with the sword. An IED is just a broken-up sword," Phelps-Roper said. "Since that is his weapon of choice, our forum of choice has got to be a dead soldier's funeral."
The church, Westboro Baptist Church, is not affiliated with a larger denomination and is made up mostly of Fred Phelps' extended family members.
During the 1990s, church members were known mostly for picketing the funerals of AIDS victims, and they have long been tracked as a hate group by the Montgomery, Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Project.
The project's deputy director, Heidi Beirich, said other groups have tried to counter Phelps' message, but none has been as organized as the Patriot Guard.
"I'm not sure anybody has gone to this length to stand in solidarity," she said. "It's nice that these veterans and their supporters are trying to do something. I can't imagine anything worse, your loved one is killed in Iraq and you've got to deal with Fred Phelps."
Kentucky, home to sprawling Fort Campbell along the Tennessee line, was among the first states to attempt to deal with Phelps legislatively. Its House and Senate have each passed bills that would limit people from protesting within 300 feet of a funeral or memorial service. The Senate version would also keep protesters from being within earshot of grieving friends and family members.
Richard Wilbur, a retired police detective, said his Indiana Patriot Guard group only comes to funerals if invited by family. He said he has no problem with protests against the war but sees no place for objectors at a family's final goodbye to a soldier.
"No one deserves this," he said.

You know they were gonna protest a soldier's funeral in bama. Luckily there was a massive amount of death threats along with the county sheriff not being able to guarantee their safety. So they never showed up. It would be kind of hard for them to file a lawsuit if all of them are dead.Comment

If there is a God, Rev. Phelps will have his asshole raped in hell, or even jail...
In any case, why don't these GHF losers go somewhere where "fags" are persecuted...
I mean, if God really "hates fags," why does he need to get US servicemen killed in Iraq to express his anger at our supposed tolerance? Why not just kill them using his magic powers?Comment

FORD said no such thing. And you need some serious therapy, cadaverfaggot.
He accuses one of the "so called patriots"of
beating up an anti-war protester whose son was
killed in Iraq.
When I countered saying a group called the protest
warriors were the responsible party and he was possibly
mistaken, no reply.
So you can kiss his ass all you want but facts are facts.
He saw one picture with a crippled vet posing with the
Patriot guard and made assumptions about the group
based on his identifacation of the one man as some
right wing nutcase by the name of "Jim Rob".
There are pictures of Clinton and Bush together , does
that make Clinton a republican?
Some people will never admit they're wrong.Beware of DogComment

The Devil kisses nobody's ass. But I do know that FORD can distinguish between those who oppose Fred Phelps and those who oppose patriotic dissent against the war policies of a fascist primate.
As for Clinton being a Republican, yes he is. He was just a more tolerable Republican than Reagan or either Bush. I will NOT say the same for his wife.Eternally Under the Authority of Satan

I name the Patriot guard by name before he replies.
He had every opportunity to clarify his remarks but
chose not to.
Are you blind?
Illiterate?
Both?
Or are you just blinded by your hero worship of Ford?
And all politicians are corrupt .
