Well what do you know? It shouldn't be any surprise, but it somewhat is for me. One lunatic has attracted the attention of another lunatic. I am of course referring to Jared Lee Loughner, who killed and wounded several people last Saturday in a Safeway parking lot. As well as Fred Phelps who goes around the country protesting funerals attempting to stand in for God and judge everyone on earth except himself. Claiming everyone, except him and his family is going to hell.
You'll be excused today for thinking there isn't possibly a more depraved human being in America than Jared Lee Loughner, the man accused of shooting 20 people in Tucson, Arizona, killing a 9-year-old girl and putting Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in intensive care. You'd be wrong, but you'd be excused.
That dubious honor goes to Fred Phelps, pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church (aka the God Hates Fags church), who hopped right on YouTube to "thank God for the violent shooter, one of your soldier heroes in Tucson." Oh, and he doesn't care how many are dead! He's taking the wholeklanclan to picket their funerals. Yes, including Christina Taylor Green. Wouldn't want to leave out a defenseless 9-year-old, now would we?

This guy actually thinks its okay to protest the funeral of a 9-year old girl. A little girl who is innocent and was just beginning her life. A life that was cut horribly short by this depraved man that thought he would go and kill a Congresswoman and who ever else he might kill as well with his 90 rounds that he had on him.
The Arizona Republic reported this morning that
In a rapid and bipartisan move, Arizona lawmakers unanimously passed a bill Tuesday intended to shield the families of victims of the Tucson-area shooting spree from disruptions at funerals.
Senate Bill 1101 creates a "funeral protection zone" that bans protesters within 300 feet of a funeral service. The ban applies to one hour before, during or after a funeral service.
Gov. Jan Brewer signed the bill Tuesday evening, saying, "Despicable acts of emotional terrorism will not be tolerated in the state of Arizona."

You can see the despicable message of Fred Phelps by watching his video above. Be warned though he praises Loughner in this video. It is not a video to watched lightly. It is despicable in every sense of the word. I hesitated about even posting such a video on this blog.
As Cafe Mom said,
Warning, if you have any respect for the sanctity of life or yourself for that matter, you probably don't want to click on the video below. Or at least keep a barf bucket handy.----------
