First of, Fred Phelps is from Kansas and this is not normal Mid-West thinking!
It is embaressing to say the least.
He is an idiot along with his family and congregation! His so called church=cult is headquatered in Topeka, Ks.
To degrade the deaths of the valient mem and women who have lost their lives is dispictable!
His legal Lawyer said in the last report that I read is to file against the judgement and will win! BS.
$11 million is just going to be the tip of the ice berg and I hope they are put out of business!
They will never get the money over this suit, but it does set a precident for further law suits against them!
I love legal lawyers.
When I was interning on the hill we got calls/faxes/letters from Westboro on almost a daily basis. Lots of lawyers in that family, which is why they've always skirted by without much interference. The best at combating them thus far is the group Patriot Guard Riders, which form a barrier between the "church" and the mourners. http://www.patriotguard.org/
It's those illegal lawyers you have to watch out for!

I usually don't get misty over much but as I read the Patriot Guard Riders website I find myself tearing up. The overwhelming support that the riders are showing the families of our fallen soldiers - in response to a comparatively puny number of whack-jobs spewing hate - speaks volumes to this country's backing of our troops.

Fred Phelps has been a thorn in the side of the people of eastern Kansas for years. We are as disgusted by him as everyone else is. His congregation is a small, made up mostly of friends and family members, but unfortunately very vocal minority.
