When InTheFray Visual Consultant Dustin Ross attended President Bush’s inauguration on Thursday, he saw the predictable protesters — and some unbelievably uncompassionate conservatism. See for yourself:

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, protest George Bush’s inauguration. I overheard one of the members saying “God hates
fags, God hates fag enablers, therefore God hates George Bush.”

Lines stretched for blocks as people tried to enter the parade area for President Bush’s inauguration. Security checkpoints only let a few people in at a time, and people with bags were not allowed into the area.
