And if you object to this kind of disgusting, uncivilized and thuggush behavior coming from a 'church' at your son's funeral, well, tough luck.
Now, go pay the fine to Fred Phelps and if you go broke paying the fine, tough luck again. You see, first amendment trumps all including your dead soldier son, who died fighting for America, so that someone can indulge in thuggish demonstrations at his funeral.

BALTIMORE (AP) — The father of a Marine killed in Iraq and whose funeral was picketed by anti-gay protesters was ordered to pay the protesters' appeal costs, his lawyers said Monday.
On Friday, Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ordered Snyder to pay $16,510 to Fred Phelps. Phelps is the leader of the Westboro Baptist Church, which conducted protests at Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder's funeral in 2006.
The two-page decision supplied by attorneys for Albert Snyder of York, Pa., offered no details on how the court came to its decision.
Attorneys also said Snyder is struggling to come up with fees associated with filing a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court.
The decision adds "insult to injury," said Sean Summers, one of Snyder's lawyers.
God Bless America.
