BALTIMORE -- A Kansas church has been ordered to pay $3,150 for costs and fees associated with a summons and complaint filed by the father of a Marine whose funeral was picketed by the extremist group.
Albert Snyder, of York, Pa., is suing the Rev. Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church after church members demonstrated at the funeral of Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, of Westminster, and posted pictures of the protest on their Web site.
Lance Snyder was killed in Iraq in March. Members of the Topeka church claim U.S. soldiers are killed as God's punishment for America's tolerance of homosexuality.His father's federal lawsuit, filed June 5, alleges church members violated the family's right to privacy and defamed the Marine and his family at the funeral and on the church's Web site.
Phelps and the church refused to grant a waiver in the serving of summonses in connection with the federal lawsuit, making the church liable for those costs.
Court documents say the church has 30 days to make the payment to Snyder.
if this doesnt make you feel good then nothing will. dont get me wrong i wouldnt mind seeing someone punch the living shit out of one of the phelps family but it wouldnt do any good. a punch to the wallet will be what stops this insane family. if this is the kind of people god would want in heaven then hell looks better every day. i can only hope god in his infinite wisdom calls the whole congregation to him soon. wow i would hate to be in line at the pearly gates behind these asswipes. please do not make the payments in 30 days. please throw fred phelps in federal prison. wow. that couldnt be better
a little extra smile in your day.

It is SO strange that you should bring this up, because not two days ago, Slave Hubby sent me a video link (not YouTube, can't remember which site) of that same group being run out of a funeral, fearing for their lives and having their van window busted out! It rocked! I can't stand this bottom-feeder. He's at least a few rungs down on the ol' evolutionary scale. Try to gooooogle Fred Phelps chased out of funeral or something. You'll love it.
