I knew that Fred Phelps and his nutty Westboro Baptist Church was coming to South Holland, Illinois today to bring his anti-gay, anti-troop preaching to the funeral of Lance Corporal Philip Martini. I didn't blog it, because, for starters, I've sounded the alarm enough so the mainstream media is finally taking notice. Also, Phelps and his followers often don't follow through on their picket threats.
Hundreds of counterproductive, including some from the Patriot Guard Riders, were there to confront Phelps and his whackos.
Illinois is one of the states expected to pass funeral-protest ban legislation this year. The bills, nationwide, have one thing in common: They're in reaction to Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church.
