| Fred Phelps ordered to pay funeral costs for Marine | |
| 2007-04-14 | |
A federal judge in Baltimore is ordering Topeka's Westboro Baptist Church to pay more than $3,000 in costs related to the funeral of a Marine the group picketed. Albert Snyder of York, Pennsylvania, is suing because church members demonstrated at the funeral of his son, Lance Corporal Matthew Snyder. Church members also posted pictures of the protest on their Web site. Corporal Snyder was killed in Iraq in March. The lawsuit was filed in June. It says church members violated the family's right to privacy and defamed the Marine and his family at the funeral and on the church's Web site. Court documents say the church has 30 days to make the payment to Snyder.

| #10 I think it would be great if God inflicted the irReverend Phelps with a terrible, incurable, non-transmitable disease that caused him great suffering and pain, and that grew worse with every protest he held. THAT would be justice. |

| #9 That guy ought to be careful because someone might offer up all his posessions on craigslist.org while he and his drones were off protesting another funeral in another state. Hey, it's happened before! |

| #6 I was thinkrn the foreheads Needs to be much lower down, and preferrably many years ago so he couldn't have polluted this world with his spawn. Someone needs to hold a funeral at the top of a really high flight of stairs. |

| #2 Hitting him in his two front teeth with a hammer would be better. But we wouldn't want to advocate any sort of violence here so here's to many, many, more lawsuits against this pond-scum. |
