Fred Phelps followers frustrated -- for now

"The followers of Rev. Fred Phelps have been blocked from entering Canada after announcing their intention to protest at the funeral of Tim McLean, but they vow to try multiple border crossings."

McLean is the young man who was brutally stabbed to death and beheaded on a Greyhound Canada bus.

Un-f**cking-believable! If I believed in God, heaven and hell that bunch of retards would be headed straight for the fiery pit.

The dead soldiers thing was bad enough, but to harass the funeral of a guy who was a murder victim while he slept on a bus, just to draw attention to your own tiny minded agenda...

There must be some legal moves they can pull on these idiots other than just stopping them at the border.

Personally I hope Phelps and his daughter both die painful and drawn out deaths, not least so that I have time to prepare my dance routine for their graves.

*yawn*

Phelps trying to get attention from a tragedy? What else is new.

That's an interesting thing.

Canada isn't as "free" regarding hate speech as the US. Wonder what happens if he gets arrested up there?

Can the government just say "oh, no, you can keep him. We don't want him back..."?
