I take it your referring to the anti-war protestors. In which case I ask: and what of the anti-gay and anti-abortion protestors?

(I think you mean "Christian anti-gay protest at a homosexual soldier's funeral.)
I think people should be allowed to protest. I don't think people should be allowed to impede progress to a structure as vital as a hospital. Frankly, I hate the people who go protesting at abortion clinics because THEY are what everyone sees when everyone thinks of the Religious Right.
I think there is a time to speak and a time to be silent. In this case, I would say that demoralizing the men and women who give their limbs and lives for our country should not have to listen to protestors while they are convalescing. The people have a right to protest, but there are some times when it is wrong to do so.
"Christians" protesting at a gay soldier's funerals are, for lack of a better word, ****wads. They have warped and perverted the Bible and are acting completely against what they allegedly believe.
In a recent poll, when people were asked who Christians most closely resembled (and they were given several answers from which to choose), the most common answer was "people who hate gays".
Sadness.
