Old, old, news. Why?
Oh, I dunno.
Maybe some of us hadn't heard about it - this sheltered military retiree being one of them. I didn't know who Heath Ledger was either. I suppose I could camp out at APS 24/7 and get all the news...

How about another one of those pledges? This time, you pledge that if you are going to talk tough on the internet, you go ahead and buy a plane ticket to their next funeral bash, and you really go upside their heads. We'll be watching the news.
We could start an airfare fund for all you hot-heads.

Hey, Fisty... What's the law here in Missouri? If I walk up and slap one of them silly, what am I looking at?
It's not the criminal code you have to worry about, but their assault lawyers they'll sick on you for various civil rights issues.

And she's also a patriotic conservative type, who would likely walk up and slap one of 'em silly too.

When nobody's listening, they'll go away, but some folks aren't bright enough to get that.

Best thing would be if everyone flat out ignored them. Second best is them showing up at THE wrong funeral, and quietly "disappearing"...
Ok... maybe I have those reversed...

Are those guys that Christian group the Westboro Baptist Church?
Uh. Sort of.
Actually, T, it wouldn't be out of bounds for someone to describe the WBC as "Christian hate-mongers" or some-such,* the same as they might describe bin Laden as an "Islamic terrorist." In both cases, you have people that make constant use of religion (even if they're only faking it) as the motive for their actions. The same cannot be said for McVeigh. The facts I've seen indicate he was not a religious person, anyway.
*Even though they are demonstrably not Christian.

they then hung our flag upside down.
Quite Fitting when you look up the meaning of an Upside Down US Flag.

You misunderstand. OBL and Phelps are either religious, or they pretend to be. McVeigh didn't seem to be either. That's why it is misleading to label him a Christian terrorist.

If I shoot Phelps, well... Someone, somewhere, might get irritated. Maybe.

The majority of his views seemed to develop from the Christian Identity movement. So they are religious in nature.
I'd like some of the good, old links-and-evidence to support both of those points.
1. "The majority of his views seemed to develop from the Christian Identity movement."
2. How religiously-oriented is Christian Identity, anyway?
