From the site: "Anchorwoman Julie Banderas loses it as Shirley Phelps-Roper proclaims the word of God to a nation laden with sin. She goes to funerals of fallen soldiers to protest gays."

I'm british and have no idea who she is, can someone explain?

OMG.
That is one of the worst things I have ever seen.
Looks like this ghastly old witch Shirley Phelps-Roper actually goes to the funerals of dead American servicemen she thinks were gay and celebrates the death of the "pervert".
I'm in shock. I can't take this in.
Surely........not even in America?
It's all even worse than I thought.
Can some sane Americans PLEASE come in and condem this evil bahaviour?

The psychotic woman is the head of the Westboro Baptist Church which is a very deranged extremeist group. It shouldn't even be classified as part of the Christian Church because it is so abominable.
Anyway, the church is composed of the woman's entire family. No one else belongs to it. But they have a very cruel anti-Christian outlook. They feel they are sent to do God's work for him becasue it won't happen otherwise if they don't. They have absolutely no shame whatsoever hurting the families of other people with their sick.actions. They seem to like to go to funerals to do their dirty work.
For example, they were scheduled to attend the funeral of the Amish girls who were murdered recently, very likely as a protest that the Amish are evil (I can't see them on the Amish's side but I could be wrong). Thankfully they did not attend.
Personally, I think she and her family should all be shipped off to a deserted island with no hope of escape lest they be eaten by the sharks first. (If I said I how I really felt about her, I'd probably be banned).

Lucky you for living in Britian, where the fear of God was disposed of long ago....
This Roper chick is a perfect specimen of what is wrong with religion today. this woman and her church (made up of mainly 80 family members - INBREDS anyone??) actually prtest at the funerals of american soldiers, saying Thank God for Aids and Thank God Your Son is Dead. They actually beleive that this whole war was brought on by God to punish the US for living in sin!!! What a bunch of crackpots!!
If I could, Id escape and come live there...

Usually the video clips people ask others to watch suck... but I found this one entertaining.
That cult is should not get any air time... fox news pays them every time their interviewed. What the media should do is ignore them... what the cult wants is attention, and they should be denied it. Fox news uses them for ratings, and filler on slow news days.

Did you also know that those lunatics from the Westboro Church were going to protest at the funeral of the little Amish girls who were murdered? I don't know what happened to stop them, but their reasoning was that they were angry at the Governor of Pennsylvania because he dissed them. Can you imagine? Please tell me that other Christians are ashamed at this kind of behavior! Oh, and when he was asked about it, the Governor said..."They're insane." Apt description, don't you think?

I hope people realize that this protester does not speak for the majority of Christians.

The new's anchor is a pretty hot christian, and she isn't a fanatical idiot but that lady on the right is one dumb B****. I wish stupid medieval/ bronze age beliefs would quit tearing down our society. I guess as long as there is idiots there will be religion.

That lady is absolutely ridiculous! I hope I never meet her in real life because I would have a hard time controlling myself around her.
