Hecklers harass families of US soldiers killed in Iraq

When I read this headline, I was expecting a story about some flea bitten, long haired, pot smoking, anti-American, hippie, commie, pieces of shit that were protesting the war. What I read about was at least, if not more despicable.

Five women sang and danced as they held up signs saying "thank God for dead soldiers" at the funeral of an army sergeant who was killed by an Iraqi bomb. For them, it was the perfect way to spread God's word: America was being punished for tolerating homosexuality.

This is Fred Phelps and his minions at their finest. I have read tales of their protesting of abortion clinics by publicly displaying pictures of a torn up fetus in full view of young children or anybody else that happens to drive by. They protest homosexuality by showing up at funerals of gays with signs that say "God Hates Fags" and "God Wants Fags Dead". They cheered the terror attacks of 9/11 saying it was God's retribution for America's evil ways.
Now they are disrupting funerals of our honorable fighting men and women to protest homosexuality? What kind of sense does that make?
These people need an ass whipping of the highest order.

But it was the callousness and cruelty of harassing the grieving families of soldiers at dozens of funerals across the country that has sparked a grassroots movement of bikers determined to drown out the jeers and taunts. In Flushing, Michigan they turned their leather-clad backs to the five women and held flags and tarps up so that mourners walking past wouldn't see the signs saying "God hates fags," "fag vets" and "America is doomed."

Thanks God for these bikers. Whether you agree of disagree with how somebody has led their life, the dead deserve a little respect, and their grieving loved ones should be able to attend the funerals without having to put up with these assholes.
I really don't think our loving and merciful God would approve of this hateful behavior. After all, God is love.
