I cannot believe how heartless and cruel human beings can be. :(

DODGE CITY, Kansas (CNN) -- This past Saturday morning I found myself in a five-car caravan cutting across the Kansas plains with about 30 religious protesters. In the back of a truck, there were signs that read "Thank God for IED's" and "Thank God for Dead Soldiers."

I was with the Phelps family. They've launched a disturbing campaign to tarnish the funerals of fallen soldiers.

This is a painful drama playing out at dozens of military funerals across the country. The group is led by Fred Phelps.

He and his family have picketed and heckled military families at more than 100 funerals since June. They say the soldiers are fighting for an army that represents a country that accepts homosexuality. (Watch how protesters targeted the funeral of a soldier killed in Iraq -- 7:08)

So you guys know, they are advertising some "pickets" here in Maryland, according to their website. I am not sure if they are going to be there, but if you want to have a word with possibly them or at least some of their supporters, here is your chance:

I couldn't go to any of those to protest the protesters. I'd be passing out five-finger tattoos and finding myself draped over the hood of a Crown Victoria. And to think... the dead soldiers were defending their right to protest and keep their freedom of speech. Disgusting.

I would have to agree to this statement. Those people deserve it. Yet, I think the best way to handle this situation is to let someone else take care of it because someone will and at least it wasn't you.
