Westboro Anti-Gay Protesters "No-Shows" at Soldier's Funeral
TOLEDO -- A local soldier's funeral, which was expected to draw protesters, turned out to be a peaceful memorial Tuesday. Those who attended were caught off guard when the protesters from Topeka's Westboro Baptist Church didn't show up. The anti-gay group has been crashing the funerals of soldiers because they say the deaths are part of God's wrath toward America and homosexuals.

3. Is H&C "Hannity and Colmes"?
What did the interview cover? Did they talk about the Ohio funeral?

4. I caught a portion of that on the radio the other day while in the car
Hannity slammed her good.

First time ever I've enjoyed listening to that asshat.

She was totally spit-flinging crazy.

I think it was a different WBC member than Franken had on a while back though.

I think that was a grand-daughter and seems like she came off calmer and and more reasoned in her lunacy.

So much so that it was toward the end of the interview before she overwhelmed Al's urge to be polite to everybody.
