It's a vocal minority that gets the attention of the vaunted media. What do we do?

The other thing is that they will come whenever invited, but it has mostly been that they are invited when the Westboro Baptist Church are intending to demonstrate, which apparently they always announce because they are so into the publicity. If someone was coming to a funeral in my family intending to yell at us that our loved one had died in vain and because the country was tolerating gay people, I'd be so glad someone was willing to come and guard me from them!<BR/><BR/>I wonder if that mother was referring to the WBC invading? Well, there is something I don't understand.Maya's Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12183715043200608144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30396930.post-1156995344461855662006-08-30T19:35:00.000-08:002006-08-30T19:35:00.000-08:00You know, I read somewhere in the LA Times about a...You know, I read somewhere in the LA Times about a miliary mother who objected to these guys at her son's funeral. She resented their presence and said she never asked for them to "invade" the funeral as I think she phrased it.<BR/><BR/>But, she sounded like a minority and perhaps it was just her grief speaking.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604097511444010759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30396930.post-1156973134317683072006-08-30T13:25:00.000-08:002006-08-30T13:25:00.000-08:00It is outrageous that the Bush Administration has ...It is outrageous that the Bush Administration has remained silent about the WBC.
