Maybe I Should Tune Into Fox Once in Awhile

This is ... well many things. Terrible, unprofessional, unexpected from Fox and... hilarious!

Behold the power of a well shaken can of Whoop-Ass.

Backstory: For those of you who are unaware, the Rev. Phelps and his church became famous in the '90s for disrupting the funerals of AIDs victims with signs, loud speakers and protesters. Really, just-not-done kind of stuff. It made them famous, doubtless got them lots of backing from rich crazy folks and really showed how little compassion some Christians have.

However, the thrill is gone form that. There are, unfortunately, too many AIDs funerals now and, fortunately, most respectable media outlets refuse to give them air time. So they did what any brand-savy media organization does when the market moves, they followed it. Consequently, they rarely picked funerals of AIDs victims anymore.

Now they picket the funerals of Iraq war dead.

Yeah.

Theoretically, that's what Mrs. Phelps is there to discuss.

I'm very glad that you said "some Christians" Because these people, despite what they may claim, are not Christian. There are so many that "talk the talk but, don't walk the walk" as we were fond of saying in the Army. Too bad these sorry people make those of us who actually try to live what we believe look bad with their actions....

Even as large a detractor of organized religion as myself cannot make the case that these misfits represent more than a handful of Christians.

Anyone who makes such a category error is, IMHO, selling you something.
