If the political discussion at the memorial is fine with you, then you should have no objection to Phelps spouting that mantra at the funeral of a prominent gay person.
As was said earlier, because you CAN say it doesn't mean you SHOULD.
P.S. Bush couldn't win either way. Either he gets criticized for being at the funeral, or criticized for staying away.

Uhhh...has Phelps been invited by a single family to speak?
This is not random polical speech! This is material and ideas being delivered by the loved ones of the passed, ideas that bear direct relevance to the memory of the departed. Do we really beleive in the sudden separation of political and politicians/social activists as soon as they shuffle loose the mortal coil?
These comparisons are silly at best.
I agree...he was in a no-win situation. That doesn't change anything...life is tough all over.
