#1 Isn't this why ax handles were invented?

#4 Good Morning Mr. Phelps ... The funeral you are looking to protest at is that of Pfc. Sammie Phillips of Cecilia. As a member of the 2nd Battalion, 138th Field Artillery, Kentucky Army National Guard of Carlisle, Kentucky, this worthy young man was killed on September 10, 2007 in the course of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He is being buried with appropriate honors in accordance with Americas proud tradition of interring its fighting men and women with all due respect and regard. It is important to note that Sammie Phillips died fighting for your own right to express whatever repugnant religious views you and your perverted spawn might hold.

Your mission, should you chose to accept it, is to refrain from making any more of a flaming, raging, outlandish asshole out of yourself than you previously have manifested at several other military funerals. Opting to create the same grief as youve already done for Matthew Shepards family, not to mention those of other undeserving and noble warriors who sacrificed their lives protecting your two square meters of profoundly wasted skin, will result in a beat-down of monumental proportions.

As always, should you or any of your diseased and fetid, malignant offspring be beaten, caught or killed, the entire population of Americas rational and sane thinking people will disavow all knowledge of your actions and open several bottles of expensive Champagne while consuming vast quantities of costly caviar ladled up with mother of pearl spoons onto toast points garnished with finely minced onion and freshly grated egg yolk.

#5 Westboro's website is indeed scary. I would expect the Rev. Fred Phelps to be the kind of preacher that would ask his followers to swallow the cyanide-laced cool aid. Be wary of false prophets.

#6 Law enforcement needs to stay at least 5 miels away from the protest. And let it be known that they will absolutely not be near that area and will not come to calls in that area.

And just let the veterans do what comes naturally. Phelps will have his cameras smashed and get the beatings he and his lawer kin so justly deserve, and have no recourse.

Actions have consequences, and someone needs to impose those on this walking piece of scarecely human filth.

#7 Somebody needs to show up with a couple of dozen donuts and some coffee for all the wonderful police officers. Have them call a 15 minute donut break. And when they get back on station, the problem will have been solved.

#8 as the patriot guard riders are mostly vets themselves maybe they will take care of these morons. I'm sure us rantburgers could provide alot of bail money for such a project.

#9 The Patriot Guard Riders won't do anything to upset the bereaved unnecessarily. So no axe handles or donut breaks. I admire their considerate forbearance under strong provocation.
