Fred Phelps Protests a Soldier's Funeral

Being a strict a supporter of the right to free speech I respect this guy's right to political activism, but as I've probably noted before, I can't think of many speech acts more morally repugnant than picketing a funeral, and telling the families and friends of the deceased that their loved one is roasting hell. But I guess I just have different beliefs about both propriety and Christianity than those held by Rev. Phelps and his supporters. In my mind - he's one nasty and mean-spirited asshole. Look here for his latest revolting behavior. He recently interrupted his busy schedule of protesting at the funerals of gay people to protest at the funeral of a soldier. Oh, and be sure to check out the signs. Talk about an America hater. Ugh.
