Westboro Baptist will pickett AZ funerals. Will the Patriot Guard riders show up?

[bluestateguy]

One of the things that has always annoyed me about the Patriot Guard riders is that they only seem to show up when the funeral is a military funeral. I applaud their actions, but they seem to be like other conservatives in turning a deaf ear when the deceased are civilians and subjected to Westboro's picketing.

1. Hopefully people will form the human shield of love like they

did at Elizabeth Edwards' funeral.

2. I think the media needs to form a pact to ignore them

and quit mentioning them by name. And I hope the shield of people and love continues.

3. I predicted this yesterday

and I didn't need a crystal ball.

The Phelps people are vultures.

I wouldn't be surprised if decent members of the various religious communities in the Tucson area stood up in the name of love.

It is time to classify them as a hate group and have them lose their tax exemption

6. They have to be invited first

I have seen them at non-military funerals

8. They won't need to be invited.

The rest of us will be there.

The westboro douches tried to picket a funeral here and a hundreds "regular" citizens kept them at bay.
