'Hated' Group Crosses Border To Picket Funeral

An alert that Public
Safety Minister Stockwell Day reportedly sent
to Canadian borders guards to bar a
controversial U.S. church group from entering
Canada didn't block some members from getting
in, the group's lawyer claimed
Friday.Shirley Phelps-Roper, the daughter of the founding member of the Westboro Baptist Church, told CTV.ca a group of seven members was turned away when they tried to cross the U.S. border into Canada Thursday night. But she said other members managed to get through at another border crossing, although she would not say how many.
Phelps-Roper and her church have outraged Canadians by planning to protest Tim McLean's funeral. Members of the ultra-conservative Christian church claim McLean, who was decapitated by a fellow-passenger on a Greyhound bus last month, deserved his fate. Although no member of the group ever met McLean, they claim he lived an immoral and godless life, just like all other Canadians.

SINC SAYS:
These kooks should be arrested and deported the minute they pull out their protest signs.
