Westboro defends protests at fallen troops? funerals

Westboro Baptist Church defended its protests at funerals of fallen troops and renewed its claim that God hates America.

“It is a very sorrowful thing that we have to do any of this, that this nation is in the position it is in,” said Rebekah Phelps-Davis, a defendant in the first lawsuit against Westboro. “They have put themselves in the cross hairs of an angry God.”
