Here's what I suggest as a course of action the next time Fred Dip____ Phelps and his traveling freak show comically named the Westboro Baptist Church show up to disrupt a solemn event:
They should be met by counter-protesters carrying their own signs. There should be more of these than the traveling loonies. The counter protesters will have "home-field advantage", so this shouldn't be difficult. The signs should have two different messages as specified below.
There should be one line of counter directly in-between the loons and the mourners at the funeral. There signs should carry an appropriate counter-message, such as "God bless our soldiers", or whatever the particular occasion calls for. These must be clearly distinguishable from the rabble from Westboro. Bathing, shaving, and acting with dignity should suffice.
In addition, there should be two large signs held at either end of the asylum outmates' line. They should have matching signs, differing only in the direction of the arrows on the signs. The arrows should point to the Westboro bozos. The signs should read "Welcome, Westboro Inbred Baptist Church!"
Hey, it's free speech, right?
