Dear God, please let the Patriot Guard Riders know about this ahead of time. The Phelps gang is ready to strike, and they outline their intent here.

Please pass this along to all who can get the word out so we can stop these fools. According to their site, this is when it’s going to happen and why:

***UPDATE – WBC HAS UPDATED THEIR SCHEDULE LISTING THE NEW LOCATION***

07/17/2008 08:30 AM – 10:00 AM Washington, DC

National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception 400 Michigan Ave. NE Tony Snow (Press Secretary for 6 “B” George W. Bush) is dead, YES! He had a platform, he was given some small talent by his creator. He was an unfaithful steward, and is now residing in hell. Each opportunity he had to faithfully Report what the servants at WBC had to tell this country/world, Tony Snow besmerched and vilified the words of God and the people of God. Thereby being a party to the crime of passing laws to make the preaching of the gospel to this adulterous and sinful generation = criminal activity. That is a very bad monkey!…

Then they’re going to continue on in Maryland:

07/17/2008 11:00 AM – 11:45 AM Baltimore, MD

Federal Court House in Baltimore, MD Hopkins Pl & W Pratt St Since we will be in the neighborhood picketing in Washington, DC at the funeral of a very evil (cut off at a surprisingly early age) scribe of DOOMED america named Tony Snow – we decided to hook up these unthankful brutes in Baltimore with a nice little picket….

***NOTE***

Apparently Fred Phelps saw fit to post a YouTube video about Tony Snow’s death, the vile and disgusting pig he is.

I’m sick to my stomach at this, and really don’t want to give them any more press than they give themselves, but I would hate to think that their planning would go un-noticed and that nobody would respond to stop this insanity. Please… don’t let this come to pass. I know we have freedom of speech, but some things should just not be permitted: shouting hatefully behind signs and vinyl banners at a funeral is one of them.
