Too good to be true!

A grieving father won a nearly $11 million verdict Wednesday against a fundamentalist Kansas church that pickets military funerals in the belief that the war in Iraq is a punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality.

Albert Snyder of York, Pennsylvania., sued the Westboro Baptist Church for unspecified damages after members demonstrated at the March 2006 funeral of his son, Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, who was killed in Iraq.

Nice!

Man, that dad is a better man than I am. I would have killed those people. Seriously, probably maimed them if they protested my son's funeral.

It's about time WBC got screwed. I'm going to picket Fred Phelps' funeral. Who's in?

Westboro Baptist Church has annoyed everyone for a long time. Hopefully this will ruin them financially and they'll dissappear for good.

Every group has their whackos and idiots...it's unfortunate that many of ours seem to have ended up in Kansas.

See? This is what happens when you don't say NO to your kids. They wind up thinking protesting funerals is okay. geez

KOPISTAR · November 1st, 2007, 12:02 AM

I'm going to put a lot of money down that they will not all of the sudden claim they have gone bankrupt.

Right. When you don't have to pay TAXES, it makes things EASIER...

**mudfisher** · November 1st, 2007, 05:58 AM

I'm real glad these hypocrite's were put in there place. The way they showed there displeasure for what they believe in was wrong. Showing disrespect by, Protesting at funerals for a dead soldiers who gave their life for this country. This church was breaking one of the 10 commandments.

You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God.

**fansince67** · November 1st, 2007, 07:07 AM

My question is, what kind of person listens to this rubbish and believes it? I heard there's only about 100 members, thankfully.

**Hipcheck** · November 1st, 2007, 08:10 AM

Normally Im against huge lawsuit verdicts like this-but in this case I complete support it. This group takes the cake on crazy aggressive religious wackos.

Crowley · November 1st, 2007, 12:09 PM

I could be wrong, but I think that this church is run by the "God Hates ***s" people that have been on the Howard Stern show before.

I found it really disturbing listening to hatred spill out of the mouths of this nutjob woman's 10 and 12 year old kids. I hope that these people are financially ruined.

JackBarlow · November 1st, 2007, 01:48 PM

I'd hire Al Queada to blow them up

Salty Dog · November 1st, 2007, 03:11 PM

I think we finally found something we can all agree on!
