| − | {{ | + | <let name=data index=Text>“On the August 30 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, [[Fox News]] host [[Sean Hannity]] falsely blamed "the anti-war left" for a protest at the August 28 funeral of Sgt. Jeremy Doyle of Indianapolis, who was killed while serving in Iraq. Hannity read excerpts of an article on the website of Indianapolis TV station WISH describing the protest, adding, "I guess this is just another example of how the anti-war left supports our brave troops." In fact, as The Indianapolis Star reported, the protesters were not anti-war liberals but, rather, members of [[Westboro Baptist Church]] (WBC) in Topeka, Kansas, who claim that the deaths of U.S. soldiers in [[US occupation of Iraq|Iraq]] are inflicted by [[God]] to [[anti-gay|punish]] the [[United States]] for its acceptance of [[homosexuality|gays and lesbians]].”</let> |
