The Knucklehead of the Day award

Fred Phelps= Knucklehead loser

After reading about this story(Hat tip- The Corner and The Mudville Gazette) I've changed today's Knucklehead of the Day award winner. This person is I just something I can't put to words but he is an idiot for protesting at a funeral that is in connection to him or his church. He is unwelcome and no matter what the cause he is not doing God's work in appearing at the Carrie French funeral.

This is not about you Knucklehead Fred Phelps but a heroic young woman who gave her life so you can be an idiot. How ironic. Now go back to Iowa and crawl underneath the rock you belong under.

Kansas Preacher Announces Plans To Protest Idaho Soldier's Funeral

(BOISE - AP) -
The Kansas preacher who tried to erect an anti-gay monument in a Boise city park says he's coming to Idaho this week to picket the funeral of a fallen soldier.

Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, says God killed Idaho National Guard Corporal Carrie French with an improvised explosive device. Phelps says God is retaliating against America for a bombing of his church six years ago.

French was a 19-year-old Caldwell High School graduate and varsity cheerleader. She was killed June 5 in Iraq's northern city of Kirkuk by an improvised explosive device.

French served as an ammunition specialist with the 116th Brigade Combat Team's 145th Support Battalion.

Phelps says there is no reason he is targeting French specifically. He says his church will protest any public funeral of soldiers killed in Iraq.

Caldwell Police Chief Bob Sobba said he can't bar Phelps from going to the public funeral. It's scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at the Albertson College of Idaho.
