Fred's follies

More states and even Congress are following Indiana's example of keeping Fred Phelps and his merry band of funeral crashers at bay.

"I haven't seen something like this," said David L. Hudson Jr., research attorney for the First Amendment Center, referring to the number of state legislatures reacting to the protests. "It's just amazing. It's an emotional issue and not something that is going to get a lot of political opposition."

No kidding. The article notes that the Westboro Baptist Church is made up "amost entirely" of 75 of Phelps' relatives. Heck of a family.
