I guess Fred Phelps and his Westboro hate group doesn't "play in Peoria." Or East Peoria.
As I've blogged here in the last week, Fred Phelps rabidly anti-gay Westboro cult, founders of the God Hates Fags web site, has been protesting at the funerals of soldiers killed in action in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The sicko is celebrating these combat deaths, claiming it's God's punishment for American acceptance of homosexuality.
Once again, here is the disgusting flier calling for the whackos in the Westboro cult to protest the August 13 funeral of Marine Sergeant Terry Ball.
In today's Peoria Journal-Star, there was no mention of Phelps' group showing up to disrupt the Ball funeral. Did they chicken out? Is Phelps' group simply not large enough to get bodies to the Peoria area? It's possible the newspaper chose to overlook these idiots. But it doesn't matter.
Lots of other people did show up, as the Journal-Star reports:
The funeral home was so full that mourners spilled over into another room, where the service was cast on video. Cars were so numerous that they extended into a lot across the street. Local marines and police officers swarmed the building to pay their last respects to the local hero who lost his life fighting for his country.
Are you reading this, "Rev." Phelps?
