Another Capitol Fax hat tip. This statement was received by Rich Miller, who runs that blog:
"On behalf of Illinois' 13 million citizens, we honor the life of Gunnery Sgt. Terry Ball and we mourn his loss. His memorial service on Saturday is a profoundly sad day for everyone in the Land of Lincoln and anyone who would dishonor his memory is truly despicable. May God rest the immortal soul of Gunnery Sgt. Terry Ball."
Acc. to Rich, Lt. Governor Quinn, an Oak Park Democrat, attends these events regularly and with no fanfare.
That despicable group is of course the Fred Phelps anti-Gay Westboro cult.
I refuse to call them a "church."
Phelps' Topeka, KS based cult, which blames American tolerance of homosexuality for the death of soldiers such as Marine Sgt. Terry Ball.
Thank you Pat Quinn for speaking out!
Scroll down for other posts on Phelps, including the one directly below. It has an updated Phelps flier that brings Chicago Alderman James Balcer into the fray.
