. . . When you've got hundreds of people showing up to block out the bullshit caused by 6 or 8 radicals it sends a message of how much ordinary Americans actually appreciate the sacrifices our troops are making. . . . .

Sure they do. Just to note the limitlessness of no low they won't go, the Westboro pickets plenty of non-military funerals too.

Whilst I find all their picketing to be manifestly unreasonable and vile, the most shameless and groundless of them all that I recall was their intention to picket the funerals of the Amish primary school girls who were injured or murdered by a paedophile who seized their school and barricaded them inside with him so he could molest, sodomise and rape them until his planned mass murder/suicide ending.

. . .
COLMES: Did they deserve to die?
PHELPS-ROPER: They did deserve to die.
COLMES: How you can possibly make a statement like that?
PHELPS-ROPER: Because that's exactly what happened, and it happened at the hand of the lord your God.
COLMES: How can you possibly say that — how can you possibly say that young girls who have done nothing wrong, who are innocent, who are just a few years old, who have never sinned, who have never done anything, deserve to die? How could you possibly make a statement like that?
PHELPS-ROPER: You told me that you serve the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who says that when Adam sinned all sinned. There are no innocent human beings. And the parents...

. . .

HANNITY: What about the living families that lost their daughter?
PHELPS-ROPER: They did that to themselves.

Talk radio host Mike Gallagher made a deal with them to offer 1 hour of his airtime to them if they didn't picket the funeral, which was accepted.

ANTI-GAY KANSAS CHURCH CANCELS PROTESTS AT FUNERALS FOR SLAIN AMISH GIRLS

Shirley Phelps-Roper, the daughter of church's pastor, told FOXNews.com the group canceled the protests in exchange for an hour of radio time Thursday on syndicated talk-show host Mike Gallagher's radio program.

"We're not going to any of the Amish funerals — that's the agreement we're making — that we won't go to any of them," Phelps-Roper told FOXNews.com.

On Tuesday, the church posted a flyer touting the demonstrations in response to the attendance of Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, who has spoken out against the church publicly. Both Amish and non-Amish residents of Lancaster County — where the shooting took place — have vowed to not allow any protesters anywhere near the funeral services; Rendell called the church members "insane."

Phelps-Roper, daughter of Rev. Fred Phelps, said the church had planned to cancel the protests if given media time on radio and television as a platform to espouse Westboro's beliefs.

Gallagher said that church officials would have to sign a document making them liable for the airtime if they broke their promise not to demonstrate.
"It's awful for me to give up an hour of my radio show ... but I think it’s worth the sacrifice to keep them away," Gallagher said.

I genuinely believe that had they shown up to picket those funerals with their standard cruelties, they would have been attacked or killed as open targets within the Lancaster County vicinity by the non-Amish there. I think Westboro knew that too, and hence why they took Gallagher's offer given they would have gotten far more attention by picketing such a set of funerals with the international attention being paid to them in sorrow.
