Personally, I support the right to Free Speech, as long you respect my right to tell you "Shut up! I don't care what you think. You're an idiot." This is one of those times.

Fred Phelps, pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) of Topeka, maintains a website titled God Hates America. He and his group make a practice of picketing public events, dragging the US Flag on the ground, holding signs that say, e.g., "God Hates Fags", "Thank God for 9-11", "God: USA's Terrorist", and "God Hates America." This group has recently been traveling to other cities to protest the funerals of fallen soldiers. According to their website, they will be here on Sunday, October 16th at the First Baptist Chruch in Del City. A local radio station is trying to organize an "antiprotest" rally. If you are in the Oklahoma City area, you can show up and show your support for our troops.
Pro Troop Rally

This is the same group that brought us godhatesfags.com and godhatessweden.com. The Washington Post has an article about their efforts of protesting homosexuals in Oklahoma as well.
