From MSNBC's Live with Dan
Abram.The church Abrams refuse
to name is the Westboro
Baptist Church of Kansas, a
bunch of lunatics that consist
mostly of the Phelps family.
They are not recognized by any
other denomination, including
Baptists. In fact, some of
their biggest critics are
conservatives and hosts on the
Fox network. I love the
church because they're a major
embarrassment to the
Religious Right. They're so
over-the-top homophobic that
even homophobes are forced to
condemn them. Among their
most hateful acts is picketing
the funerals of [hetero]
soldiers killed in Iraq. The
church believes that the
deaths (as well as 9/11) are
God's punishment for our
acceptance of gays. They're
also antisemitic,
anti-Catholic, anti-Muslim,
among other things. Picketing
the Holocaust Memorial, they
said that the Jewish victims'
cause 'has been drowned in
sodomite
semen.'youtube/watch?v=b3PyoU.

..=============From GLAAD:Jan.
24, 2008In the wake of Heath
Ledger's death, people around
the world are mourning the
gifted actor's passing and are
expressing their appreciation
for how he changed hearts and
minds with his Oscar-nominated
role as a gay cowboy in 2005's
Brokeback Mountain.In a stark
and disturbing contrast, Fox
News Radio host John Gibson
cruelly mocked Ledger's death
and his role in Brokeback
Mountain during his Jan. 22
John Gibson Show radio
broadcast. During the show,
Gibson played an audio clip
from the film of Jake
Gyllenhaal's character, Jack,
telling Ennis (played by
Ledger), 'I wish I knew how to
quit you.' Gibson then coldly
quipped, 'Well, he found out
how to quit you.' Then, after
playing another audio clip
from the movie of Ledger's
character saying, 'We're
dead,' Gibson mockingly said,
'We're dead' and played the
clip again.'Gibson's remarks
are vulgar and disgusting,'
said Rashad Robinson, GLAAD's
Senior Director of Media
Programs. 'It's sickening that
Gibson would exploit Heath
Ledger's tragic death to
promote such hurtful
intolerance. And to do so at a
time when family and friends
are grieving shows a level of
insensitivity that is beyond
the pale.'Beyond his mockery
of Ledger's role in Brokeback
Mountain, Gibson called the
actor a 'weirdo' with 'a
serious drug problem,' and
callously speculated on the
reasons Ledger might have
committed suicide. Gibson had
previously mocked Brokeback
Mountain--calling it a 'gay
agenda movie' on his Fox News
TV program in 2006.Gibson's
