This is outrageous! In the past a few people on here defended this scum church and their right to free speech. I'd like to see if they still back their right to picket the late Ms Edwards' funeral.

What did she do to deserve this?
Maybe they think she "enabled" her husband by keeping quite about his affairs during his presidential campaign?

You beat me to it! I was going to post this same link! I do find the prospects of this group picketing Ms Edwards' funeral to be disgusting, but I do still have to defend their 1st amendment right to do so. If we start limiting someone's 1st amendment rights simply because we don't like what they are doing or what they are saying, next it might be YOUR rights or MINE that are limited because someone else doesn't like what we are saying or doing.

She became the target of a crazy person/group of crazy people?
/got nothing.
Jesus & Christianity/his movement challenged the Status Quo and thus, he had to die.
Here's another observation. You are walking down the street and you see a man, speaking softly, then powerfully, and quoting scripture. Suddenly, he claims, "I AM THE SON of GOD!"
Is he CRazy?
Same situation, except he has two people sitting at his feet, nodding and saying, "Praise be to GOD."
Are they crazy?
Now, there's 1000 people in a huge mass. SAme dude. SAme words.
If ever a funeral picket line were warranted, this it it. She was a vocal proponent of homosexual marriage. I'll weep for the innocent, not for the guilty.

Sorry, but I find your comments here as disgusting as I do the idea of anyone - this 'church' in particular - picketing at a funeral. What was she 'guilty' of? Caring about other people?

And she is guilty of what? Compassion? Empathy? Belief in civil rights?
