So NOW It's Wrong To Exploits Soldiers' Deaths

The mainstream press is finally outraged over the exploitation of soldiers' deaths for political purposes. Of course, it's not the anti-war explotation offends, or their own. It's Fred Phelps that's got them mad.

"Members of a church say God is punishing American soldiers for defending a country that harbors gays, and they brought their anti-gay message to the funerals Saturday of two Tennessee soldiers killed in Iraq.

The church members carried signs and shouted things such as "God hates fags" and "God hates you."

I do not doubt that Al Gore's old buddy Fred Phelps means it, but in his own sick way, he's pointing out the disgusting practice of using funerals for political purposes.

I don't remember similar outrage when Pennesylvannia's Lt. Governor did much the same thing.
