Can you believe that Albert Snyder -- the Pennsylvania man whose Marine son's funeral was protested by Westboro Baptist Church -- has been ordered to pay over $16,000 to cover the cost of their appeals after he sued them and won? The Supreme Court is going to hear the case.
Wickipedia gives the following definition for the Westboro Baptist Church: The Westboro Baptist Church is an Independent Baptist church and hate group known for its hatred of gays. The organization is known for picketing at public events and funerals, often those related or peripherally related to gay people or soldiers in the military. Does this sound like a church to you?
I don't understand how this "church" can be so hateful. I know of no other church that preaches hatred as it's doctrine. What is worse...most of the protests include children. These kids carry signs and wear T-shirts that say "God hates fags" or "Your Pastor is a whore". It baffles me that this organization is not labeled the same as the KKK or the Skinheads. How can we let them hide behind the safety of a religion?
Thank God for groups like the Patriot Riders who keep these knuckleheads away from the funerals of most service members.
If I were Mr. Snyder, I would sling a few choice words at the judge and thank him as he sends me to prison because I sure wouldn't be paying one red cent to the Westboro Baptist Church!
I wonder if these people have any idea that their ability to be so hateful was provided by that young, dead Marine!!!
