The media keeps calling this rabble a "church" when in reality it is nothing more than a very small group of retarded losers who not more than 50 yrs ago would almost certainly have been scheduled Morons and committed to psychriatric care... These days they're let free to run amok and cause massive problems. While poor old Charlie Sheen is demonised and austrosised purely for not conforming to a very sterile and boring model of existance!

Shame Reuters! These people deserve NO airtime!!!

the main thrust of christ's teachings: 1. don't judge others. 2. be nice to everyone.

I understand the reason to protect and cherish freedom of speech (and the right to look like a complete moron in public), but the extreme distaste of protesting at a funeral is extremely offensive to the families involved. I feel sorry for the people who have had to endure their hateful presence.

"Laws prohibiting hate speech are unconstitutional in the United States, outside of obscenity, defamation, incitement to riot, and fighting words. The United States federal government and state governments are broadly forbidden by the First Amendment of the Constitution from restricting speech."

OUTSIDE OF!!! [obscenity, defamation and incitement to riot]. What the westboro baptist church is doing is NOT protected by "free speech" because of these things and they have no right to free speech.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

What ever happened to this? :/

[demonxthedk]

You have the right to say whatever you want...but some stuff you should keep it to yourself in my opinion.

[GrandInquisitor7]

The Supreme Court ruled right for once.God Bless the Westboro Baptist Church.
