"A Kansas group made their latest stop protesting at the funeral services of a Michigan soldier yesterday. But they were met by hundreds of people carrying signs defending the military and honoring the soldier as a hero.

They say soldiers are being struck down by God for defending a nation that tolerates homosexuality. Six women picketed the funeral of Army Sergeant Joshua Youmans.Fred Phelps and his band of despicable rightwing religious nuts picketed a Michigan soldier's funeral yesterday. I'm sure the right feels proud knowing these are their brothers and sisters in their fight to get us to where they want us to be.
