7 children die in Pennsylvania house fire their mother was out milking the cows 7 of their 8 children died in fire started by a space heater. They were 11 yr - 7 months. The 3 yr old made it out

Westboro Hate group ( I REFUSE to refer to this group as a church) is going to protest their funerals!

WHY WHY WHY???

May their garbage filled souls rot in the decaying pile of crap that is their own broken moral compass.

I too refuse to call them a "church"...they are a cult.

I really wish I could say they never fail to amaze me with their audacity, however, the WBC is very media savvy. They will go to wherever it is that they can get the press to talk about them. The funeral of a family of children is probably their Holy Grail.

Now I do believe that tonight Mar 12, they may have bitten off a bit more than they can chew. In Kansas City, Kevin Smith of Clerks, Dogma and Zach & Miri fame is hosting a Red State viewing with the Phelps Family.

Because they are hate personified. What an ugly group of people. They better hope that the awful, untrue judgments that spew out of their mouths aren't visited on them tenfold when they are held accountable.

Prayers for the poor family.

I feel so bad for the family. I read the first story posted. I don't know why I bother reading the comment section in these type of articles. I read some of the stupidest comments imaginable and it really pisses me off. Yahoo seems to have the worst.

Someone needs to find out who is funding these people. Who can afford to travel around the country and protest at funerals? They can not have a normal job and manage to do this. Someone is paying the tab on their protests and America needs to find out who it is.

From what I've heard, they are all lawyers. The represent themselves when the lawsuits come in against them and make a lot of money from counter-suits. I think. So they make money off of the people they condemn. Hypocritical much?

They also run a law firm that people in their community use and support. That is where the majority of their funding comes from.

THey are mostly lawyers and get most of their money by suing people they provoke at these protests.

There is a group that is actively working to get them disbarred for ethics violations... Don't know if it'll work but it would be nice if it does.
