I'm a veteran of 3 conflicts.When we bury a comrade in arms,we are burying someone who gave all there is to give to protect the rights and freedoms enjoyed by all Americans.
It is a dis-service to the friends and family of the fallen hero to use their funeral as a venue to vent your frustration at some policy that you,the protester,disagrees with.
There is a time and place for everything,causing pain and grief to a soldiers family during their service to say farewell to a loved one is neither the time nor the place. |

Why- Common Decency
Anyone that protests at a funeral deserves whatever harm falls upon them for their cowardly actions |

No they should not. A funeral is a private, family time with great stress and emotion already present. The family does not need to be subjected to protesters opinions at a time like that. The protesters need to find another platform for their protests. |

NO!!! There is some retarded church out there that protests at funerals & I think that is completely disrespectful. I don't support the war, but I support our troops. Where I live they started the Freedom Riders, which is guys on motorcycles that make sure the protesters can't get near the funeral. |

I do not agree with the war but those boys did what they felt in their heart was for our benefit. I don't any life should be protested in any way. The grieving family has their own things to contend with without having to deal with others that have nothing better to do. They can go protest the whitehouse for the war but leave the lives ouf our children alone.
No I do not have anyone in the military I am a complete outside and the protesting is excessively rude and an obvious downfall to this country. |

I truly believ people have a right to protest, but dont belive that right extends to every place in society........ To intrude on the family of anyone after their loss of a loved one is reprehensible and should be illegal |

Absolutely not. I hope they are escorted away by a Marine Corps Gunnery Seargent with a .45. |

I think being ex-military, that if my husband had died and some protesters showed up at my hubby's funeral, I would seriously go try to strangle someone's neck and try to kill them. I mean, how dare they! Most mourners have rage at first anyways and then reality hits and then they cry so they would be stupid to be showing up at a funeral in the first place. |

you can't protest at a funeral that shows no respect at all think of the family it will be hard enough for them already having to say goodbye at least let them do it in a dignified manner |

Absolutely not. If people want to protest, there are other times and places to do so. It is rude and disrespectful. These people gave their life for our freedom and their family deserves the privacy that they want and need to come to terms with their loss. |

No they shouldn't that is a time for the soldiers family and friends to grieve not to have to listen to a bunch of rubbish about how their solider died in vain. Let them do it at their own families graveside if they want to be disrespectful. And they shouldn't protest out side of the Military Hospitals either...Mother of three active duty members... |

And Fred Phelps seems to have forgotten he's supposed to "Hate the Sin (as he sees it) , and LOVE the Sinner."
I'm from Kansas and personally I can't wait till he goes away, one way or another. |

Protestors should not be allowed at ANY Funerals Period(Military or Civilian). Its disrespectful to the Families, Deceased, etc.
There is a time to protest, but getting in the face of People who just lost a Son, Daughter, Father, Mother, Nephew, etc. is asking to be Thrashed within a inch of ones life. |

No. It doesn't matter what the reason is.
There is no rationale for disturbing a family in mourning. |

No. Fred Phelps and his band of bible-bashing monkeys are nothing but a pack of slobbering, neanderthal cowards. |

Nope, It shows lack of respect for the mourners. It will also make little difference, they can protest in better and more effective ways which do not disrepect the deceased family and the deceased him/herself.
Those protesters are selfish. |

There is a time and a place for protesting and a funeral is not one of those places!
A funeral is a time to remember and honor someone's life and to say goodbye to them in the physical sense. To intrude on a funeral with political views is ridiculous! |

ABSOLUTLEY NOT! These fallen hero's protected those protester's butt's and I cringe when I hear there are protestor's at a funeral. Have some respect for the families! |

No, there are more appropriate places for the protest. They are free to protest because a soldier fought and died to get and keep that freedom. |
|

|
ABSOLUTELY NOT! There is a time and a place to voice your opinion and you have no place at a funeral. Why in the world would these freaks go to a funeral of a fallen soldier?! It sickens me! |
|
navywife
 |
no way! it's so disrepectful! there is a group my hubby belongs to when hes not on deployment called the Patriot Guard Riders, they help keep the nasty protester away. to me, it's terrible that a protester would even consider going to a funeral to do protesting. they are entitled to their opinions, but this in not the time or place to so do. |

no way that is so disrespectful. Safe the protesting for outside the damn white house. That is just so wrong. |

NO! You want to get sued! Do you think it would be OK if someone protested outside your funeral because you did something they didnt like or because you were a certain way. You protesters forget you have the right to protest because of these soldiers!!! These guys fight for you to have the right to get out there and have your opinion. Get a grip and leave these parents and wives and children to grieve in peace. The last thing you want is a pissed off military widow or parent because you cant be respectful. Just because you dont agree doesnt mean that you can do whatever you please and to whom. Remember a funeral is a private mater for the family and friends NOT some schmuck protesters. Keep away from fallen soldiers funerals. It is an insult and a disgrace!! If they really are americans they will stay away. |

Absolutely not !!!! Anyone that protests at a Soldiers funeral should be horse whipped to within an inch of their miserable and insignificant lives.
Why do I feel this way? 1. Many generations of my family have proudly served this country, some dying in the process.
2. Respect for those who have served. 3. Simple human decency. |

Freedom of speech was intended for people to have their voice heard in Government, it was NOT meant to impose personal beliefs on others.
That being said, whether you are for or against the war does not matter, most of America can agree that if someone is protesting a funeral they are traitors to America and should be treated accordingly |

They may have a legal right but its in extremely poor taste. |

No. Funerals are for the greiving and for those who want to express their sympathy and give comfort.
Anything else is monstrous beyond belief.
I don't know what I'd do if I saw some awful person protesting at a funeral. I doubt I'd be able to control myself. Hopefully someone could restrain me from opening up a can of justice and righteous fury!!!
Protests are fine at colleges and bookstores and town squares. Show up at a funeral with signs and smelly clothes and hacky sacks and bongos, and I'll for one will go totally ape-s**t!! |
