I think Fred Phelps bit off more than he could chew this time

[ellid]

The Westboro Baptist Church plans to picket Madelyn Dunham's funeral.

I wonder if it's occurred to these pinheads that this time they're going up against the Secret Service?*




*I know they won't be a physical threat to the President-Elect and his family, but does anyone really think the humorless young men in dark suits, sunglasses and earpieces will let Phelps and his minions within half a mile of the cemetery, let alone the Obamas?

About the only thing I can think of to say to that is: "LOL!"

After all the hateful things they spew, do they honestly think they'll even be within sight of that funeral?

I'd be willing to bet they will be placed out of earshot, too. :)

Has that man (Phelps) been psychologically examined? He sounds like he's got serious issues.

All I can think is, "Jeez, what a doofus!"

**sigh**

How are they going to afford the trip to Hawaii? (Don't they owe huge sums of money from some lawsuit or another?)

Let's hope the Secret Service do there usual good job and keep those Phelps whack jobs away from the mourners.

He is a very, VERY ill man, psychologically. It's horrifying how he abused his kids...once they got too old to terrorize, he turned his attention to everyone else outside the family.

Um, can't he be forcibly committed?

I know these things are usually frowned on but I think it's pretty safe to say that he's a danger to society and with the plans to picket the First Grandma's elect funeral, I think a case could be made that he's a danger to himself.

Those Secret Service agents take their jobs seriously. They will not hesitate to take down (like John Hinkley) anyone they see as a threat to the Pres. (elect's) safey.

They don't think is the problem. They react and they overreact. Those are their two main settings.

Someday these people will stand before God too, and he will say "DUDES! Did you hear ANYTHING my son told you?"

I hope the Secret Service has some real fun with them. The ones who guard the Clinton's house in Chappaqua are not above playing with the minds of those who test them...one of the environmental consultants hubby works with had to go to a house on the street and made some harmless wisecrack. On his way out they cheerfully asked him how his family was, naming his wife and referring to the ages of his kids. Just to show they could.

Just in case we thought Feebs had no sense of humor....

Granted, guarding the Clinton's street is probably not the most exciting job on offer...gotta stay awake somehow...

Wow

Until today I don't think I ever heard of these people. I am watchign the video the BBc did. Now I wish I could wash them from my mind.

They are sick.
