2. There was a guy with a homemade bomb.

Maybe that was Phelps?

4. No, I believe that guy was there for Phelps.

IOW, to attack the Phelps clan.

3. We can onlly hope...

that someone was there to record (and later publish a list of) who was in attendance.
This will further draw the battle lines between rational throught and dogmatic hatred.

Phelps Clan Pickets Falwell Funeral

Posted: May 22, 2007 - 3:00 pm ET

(Lynchburg, Virginia) About a half dozen members of a Kansas church that denounces homosexuality protested Tuesday afternoon at the funeral of evangelist Jerry Falwell.

The members of Westobo Baptist Church carried placards accusing Falwell of being in league with gays and of cozying up to Israel.

The church, which operates the GodHatesFags Web site, had warned Lynchburg police in advance they were coming.

On its site Westboro, run by Rev. Fred Phelps, called Falwell, a "corpulent false prophet" and said he"spent his entire life prophesying lies and false doctrines like 'God loves everyone.'"

Okay, full disclosure, I did enjoy the "corpulent false prophet" line, no matter how much I despise the Fred Phelps klan.
