Funeral Protesters Talked Out of Trip to NDDec 7 2006 11:54PM
KXMCTV Minot Members of the Westboro Baptist Church planned to protest at the funeral of National Guard Soldier, Chris KleinWachter, who was killed in Afghanistan. The group says God is killing soldiers because of America's tolerance toward homosexuals. But, radio talk show host, Dakota Huesby says the group has agreed.... not to come to Grand Forks... if they get an hour of radio time. (Dakota Huseby, KNOX RADIO) "That in exchange they will not come to North Dakota for the funeral coming up this weekend and they will not schedule an alternate protest in its place." Huseby will have members of the group on during the first hour of her radio show at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The interview will be done via telephone. Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate today unanimously approved legislation that prohibits protesters from disrupting soldier funeral services. Earlier legislation signed into law only prohibited demonstrations at and around national cemeteries during military funerals. Protesters got around the law by protesting at houses of worship.

I must be a lousy Christian, because I think these loony bastards should be taken out and shot. How dare they condemn the very people who gave the ultimate sacrifice which allows them the privilege to practice the first amendment!
Side Note: There was no talk of them going to Mandaree to protest Cpl Good Iron's funeral. Why not, aren't Native Americans worth your time?
You are the lowest form of life on this earth, and I will not be surprised that when it comes time for you to meet Jesus Christ our Lord and savior, he will turn his back on you in shame.
This sick, so called church spreads its hate through picketing in our streets, provoking attacks, with abusive vulgar language. Worst of all, they endanger their own young children, having them man the front lines in their combative demonstrations - attempting to create a confrontation and cause for one more of their frivolous lawsuits.
If a mother has given her son to this country and is putting Him in his grave, this is not the time or the place. This is not about protesters, this is about a group that calls that mother names on the way into a church to say goodbye to that son. We are not talking about FREEDOM we are talking about human decency. This is not about protesting, this is about a life of hate. They are not peaceful. They are not a "church". They go after any thing that can get them in the news. I am all for protest when there is a reason, I have been in many. This group will protest anything to get its face on TV. It is about an old man lost in the darkness of hate, but will put his six year old grandson in danger to save himself. Do we have a real need to protest at any funeral? Is that a real Freedom.
The city of Topeka, the state of Kansas and the U.S. at large, its citizens and their Churches, schools and events are all held hostage by this "hate group" - always at the tax payer's expense. With this group it is just not about Freedom. It is only about HATE.
