I don't. That seems to me like conceding the moral high ground. It makes it tricky to be outraged the next time they picket a funeral. Further, it gives validation to his church. My thinking with them is ignoring them is the best policy. I know I'm probably in the minority on this.

I have the same initial reaction, but I do not know how I would feel if they picketed at a funeral of one of my family members.

I am right there with you. Treat his death no differently than the average Joe.

Well since he hopes that most people should go to hell, I will agree with him just this one time.

Gone and soon (I hope) forgotten ... and ignored. An asterisk blip on some future internet search.

I don't think simply ignoring him is going to bring any justice to the thousands of mothers that watched his people hold up "God hates fags" signs at their funerals or give peace to a father whose son is sent to the grave with screams of "Soldiers go to Hell" instead of the honoring of their service to our country.

This isn't just some "bad dude" that we are talking about. This guy was the center of some of the most dispicable behavior I have every seen.

I think everyone should agree on sending one single person to picket. There sign should read "Our condolences, please find peace in this day of mourning." Show how ridiculous it is for them to picket on the most difficult day of most peoples lives.

I've actually been part of groups that have been picketed by him.

I have chosen to totally ignore him (except for this post, really). He's so obviously pathetic, I don't know why we should try to do anything else.

This man was one of the most hateful and idiotic people on the face of the earth. While I never like to cheer anyone's death, he will certainly have to pay for his actions in the afterlife. The irony is that he thought his actions were what God wanted, but he's about to find out the hard way. Wish he would have seen the light before his death, but not everyone can be saved.

The incredible hatred in this thread is quite disturbing.

He was a very wrong and sad individual.

But the sheer viciousness is alarming and telling.

I thank you. I tried (and bailed) on a number of posts to express this same sentiment.

I loathe his attitude and his followers actions, but wish him, and them, no ill will.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

This thread could used cleaned up.

Don't sink to their level gentlemen. Let his body rot in the earth. To do otherwise is to let him win.

That there is the right thing to say, however, I'm human and subject to those frailties, emotional outbursts, as well as some other not such good stuff.

F-this dude. I'm down with the emotional anger displayed here and had I been at a funeral where they were picketing, I'd need bail. (directed at the preacher d!ck beater-not you dshans)

I understand. Words are my weapon of choice. He and his minions showed their ugly mugs at a "demonstration" about 20 or 30 miles from my house a few years ago. I would have been hoarse from yelling had I gone. At 5'6" and 135 lbs. I'd be no real physical threat.

Give me a call, if need be, and I'll gladly post your bail.
