Follow the link and watch the video news report.

This woman's father organizes people to go to the funerals of soldiers from iraq, holding signs saying "thank god for dead soldiers".

"God is punishing this nation, and one of his wepons of choice is sending your children home from battle, dead."

How do all of you feel about that? Do you think that these people have the right to intrude on something as solemn as a funeral, to shame these people and the dead soilder? Do you guys think that God is really "punishing the nation"?

I'm not condoning the war, and i'm DEFINATLEY not agreeing with this woman or her "church", but i also do not believe that it's the soldiers' fault we're there.

Quite frankly i can't believe insane people like that exsist.

*i believe this goes in the debate section, but i appologize if it's in the wrong place*

That lady is coming to protest at our school and a few churches in our town.

We're performing The Laramie Project.

Her father, Fred Phelps, protested the funeral of Matthew Shepard, the boy who was the victim in the hate crime, and the people who compiled the play put him in there. He claims that they misquoted him and put him in a negative light, so their church goes and protests every performance they hear about. (There's other reasons, too.) The school is getting the police involved to make sure they don't come on school property. *sigh*
