Bit of uplifting news: (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2011/01/11/2011-01-11_tucson_residents_to_fight_back_against_westboro_baptist_church_with_angel_wings.html)

A group of Arizonans will defend the services for young Christina Taylor Green, one of six people killed when a gunman opened fire on a crowd gathered outside a Safeway to meet Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, with giant-sized "angel wing." [...] Gilmer is one of dozens of people who plan to wear the large, 8- to 10-foot wings to block the spiteful Westboro protesters from view at the funeral. [...]

"People, businesses, they're all donating material and money to build the angel wings," Gilmer said [...]

A group of bikers from the Phoenix Motorcycle Rider Group is also expected to be on hand to keep the Kansas-based Westboro group away.

Another article mentioned people from all political sides are donating, supporting and/or attending.
