I can't adequately put into words the disgust I feel towards these assholes. There is no place in society for them, but yet, they continue their brand of hate. I don't really do a lot on facebook, but I ran into a comment tonight about them disrupting a funeral set for Monday for a fallen soldier in Nashville.

and it really makes me angry.

I don't know Kevin Montgomery, and I didn't know Marine Sgt. Kevin B. Balduf, but I do know he died fighting for us. It breaks my heart that any soldier should have to sacrifice in these wars that have gone on way too long. I have no idea why Westboro would choose to pick on this funeral, and I don't care, as there is no reason in the world to do anything by show respect, grattitude and sadness for the loss.
I do know that anyone who would protest at a funeral is lower than dog shit.
I feel in my heart that the ass wipes at Westboro and their supports are nothing more than attention whores, and use any excuse they can find to get attention (and donations) - which only disgusts me even more.
My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Sgt. Kevin B. Balduf. May he rest in peace.
If you want to join the facebook group, or join the counter-protest, please do. I know this is not much of a diary, but I'm feeling pretty pissed off about this, and needed to vent. Thanks.
