Chicago Alderman James Balcer now a Phelps picket target


According to this vile flier, which relates to the above post, Alderman James Balcer, a Chicago Democrat, is now a "picket target" of Fred Phelps' rabidly anti-Gay Westboro cult.

That's Alderman Balcer on the left, Mayor Daley is on the far right; this picture was taken at a Pearl Harbor Day memorial.

As blogged here on Marathon Pundit Monday, Balcer led a Chicago protest denouncing the groups' disruption of the Portage, IN funeral of Army Specialist Adam Harding.--a roadside bomb killed Harding in Iraq.

Alderman Balcer is a Vietnam War vet, and the only alderman to vote "no" on 2003 Chicago City Council opposing the war in Iraq.

And here's what the Phelps flier says about Alderman Balcer:

The sodomite policies of politicians like Chicago Alderman James A. Balcer killed Sgt. Ball.

The cheaply printed and poorly written flier ends with the threat to include the South Side Alderman as someone his group will likely picket.
