I've actually spoke to Shirley Phelps from Westboro Baptist when they were protesting at a soldiers funeral in Arkansas. She is the lead nut of the crew.

As well as being highly nutty; she is a highly intelligent free speech attorney.

They are in your face fire and brimstone puritans, but are friendly enough if you know what you are dealing with and have a sense of humor.

Thats good...because otherwise all the high-paid technical jobs will go to TX from CA. An uneducated workforce is not necessarily a bad thing-

Her father is/was a civil rights attorney also. Many of the family are lawyers. They know the law inside and out and yes they are nuts.

So Steve Jobs' Funeral was on Friday, supposedly. Very private, very few people know where it was held. In the end, did the WBC show up? I doubt it.

I think he was saying their brand of "Democrat" is not a democrat in the conventional sense, if they consider our democratic president to be the anti-Christ.

Unlike like the trolls on this forum, they are trolls with a plan, a media platform, and legal expertise, and therefore harder to ignore. I wish the media would, all the same.
