Fred Phelps and his maniacal followers can't show up to picket the funeral and a memorial service for two Illinois soldiers killed in Iraq, even if the events are in different parts of the Prairie State, can he?
Phelps and his followers generally shows up for most of his promised pickets, but my guess he'll show up for just one of them.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch had an article in yesterday's edition about that nutcase from Kansas, Fred Phelps, the pastor of the Westboro Baptist "Church."
The deluded goofball believes God is punishing the United States for American acceptance of the gay lifestyle.
Saturday, Phelps is threatening to picket the memorial service of Army Sgt. Gary Harper in Virden, IL, as well as to protest the Beach Park funeral of Army Sgt. 1st Class James Ochsner.
As I noted on Marathon Pundit earlier this week, Illinois Lt. Governor Pat Quinn, who attends most of the military funerals of Illinois soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, will soon propose legislation limiting the protest options at funerals by groups such as Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church.
