Schadenfreude is my friend.

Anti-Gay Kansas Church Members Plan to Attend Falwell Funeral

The controversial anti-homosexual Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., plans to "preach" at the funeral of Rev. Jerry Falwell, according to its Web site.

"WBC will preach at the memorial service of the corpulent false prophet Jerry Falwell, who spent his entire life prophesying lies and false doctrines like 'God loves everyone,'" reads a posting on Godhatesamerica.com.

The church cites a break with the Calvinist Baptist church as one reason they will attend the funeral in protest.

"Falwell warmly praised Christ-rejecting Jews, pedophile-condoning Catholics, money-grubbing compromisers, practicing fags like Mel White, and backsliders like Billy Graham and Robert Schuler, etc.," the site reads.

Those morons came to a funeral of a friend of my daughter's who died in Iraq last year. Our police promptly kicked them out of town. It's one thing seeing that hate in pictures on the web, you can almost feel it when you are up close to it. Those people are pure evil.

Yep ME, they tried to protest a military funeral here in IN.

The state passed a law restricting how close they could get to the cemetary. One of the few restrictive laws I actually approve of.

Does anyone think that the radio show host who let the group come on his show instead of showing up at these funerals will make the same offer again? I can't recall his name.
