Wave on...
I've been facinated by the people who protest funerals with anti-gay signs and rhetoric. And when they protested at gay peoples' funerals, despite being horrible, there was some mad logic to it. But now apparently they're protesting Iraq war veterans' funerals and apparently haven't bothered to update their signage. Have I missed something here?
It's always been the case that when these radical people start their protests, like the laws of physics, an equal and opposite reaction takes place. (sometimes not quite equal...) Groups are protesting the protesters and forming human chains to protect the privacy of families that are at the funerals. "About 300 bikers blocked the handful of demonstrators so that family members didn't have to see the signs or hear their jeers(AFP)."
To the people who still wave the anti-gay signs and yell at mourners, although it's despicable, I say wave on! They draw attention to whacknuts, and demonstrate to all of us where we need not go as a country and as human beings relating to others.

I just wonder what runs through their heads - That Rev. Phelps must be one hell of a closet case.
