this group also has been protesting at the funerals of soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. They are extremely offensive. The group is lead by the Rev. Fred Phelps, an extremist with an anti-gay, anti-black and and anti-Semitic agenda. If you go through their site, its the same as many white supremacist groups.
