I stood with about 2,000 other North Carolinians at Elizabeth Edwards' funeral (pics)

[Lex]

because I wanted to shield her family from Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church group. Here are a few pictures I took:





The good guys now:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Great photos, my dear Lex...

Thank you for helping make that barrier against those unspeakably evil people.

Recommended.

2. I had wanted to go

but I had a concert tonight and had to get stuff done. I am glad so many showed up.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Good the Phelps cancer has to be treated this way

every where.

[OneGrassRoot]

4. It was great. To me, it was like "they" weren't even there...

That Line of Love vibe was in full effect. It's like the Westboro idiots were invisible.

:hi:

[sabrina 1]

5. Good for you for being there.

And thanks for the photos ~ it looks like it was raining :cry:

[Lex]

7. Our side sang Amazing Grace in the rain.

Their side held those vile signs.

[sabrina 1]

33. Love triumphs over hate. Beautiful!

[Starry Messenger]

6. Thank you Lex. k&r

[Lex]

34. Aww, thanks Starry.

*hug*

[applegrove]

8. What a wonderful crew.

[Octafish]

9. You did the impossible the only way it could have been done.

With Love. For Elizabeth and all who knew her.

Thank you, Lex and all who were there.
You rightened an impossibly sad situation with Truth.
It shines straight through hypocrisy.

[bluedigger]

10. Good!

That was very decent of you!:grouphug:

[kimi]

11. Thank you

You did right by her memory, bless your heart.

[MindandSoul]

12. Thank you for being there! I wish I could have been closer to make it!

We all need to be a barrier to those lunatics!

The hatred they preach is offensive to believers and atheists alike!

[nolabear]

13. Those poor children.

Not the Edwards' children; they have suffered a terrible loss but they had a mother who was adored and respected, and are surrounded by love. I'm talking about the poor children in the photos who are being taught hate and live in homes filled with the evil that Westboro teaches. I hope something helps them survive.

You did good work today. Thanks.

[Tatiana]

14. Beautiful. Thanks so much for your time and effort to honor a great lady.

[Lint Head]

17. All members of the Westboro Baptist Church need to take a long walk

off of a short pier in the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean and show the world how they can walk on water like their personal savior Jesus. That way they can immediately be with him in heaven.

Elizabeth is already there to greet them.

[Maru Kitteh]

23. Thank you :-)

[Tsiyu]

24. Awesome, Lex

Even if you care nothing about EE (who was one of us, a DUer for those who don't know) your pictures prove that hate is not winning in America.


Hate is outnumbered :D





:headbang:

[mmonk]

25. Great pictures. Thanks for sharing them.

[The Wizard]

26. Does Westboro Baptist enjoy

tax free status? If so why so?
Why haven't they been charged with child abuse? They are the American Taliban on steroids.

[barbtries]

27. thank you Lex

i didn't make it out of the house at all yesterday, sorry to say. but if i had that's where i'd have been.

[Coventina]

28. They must think the total population of heaven is about 14 people.

:crazy:

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. Thank you so much

[Irishonly]

43. Great Pictures

Their hate couldn't get through the wall of love. Thank you for being there.

[Lifelong Protester]

44. Thank you for these great photos (of the good guys)

and a thank you to all of you who were able to be there.

The coverage I saw on most of the MSM did not mention the media whoring Westboro group. They must be drowned out. Or ignored completely, if we can do that (sometimes the 'drown out' is the only option).

[defendandprotect]

45. Great to see strong opposition to these sick people using God as a weapon!!!

[Greybnk48]

46. Thank you again Lex for doing this. n/t

[Raschel]

47. What a beautiful thing for you to do. The world needs more people like you.
