Then again he may well like that as there are long running allegations that like many of the more vocal "anti-gay" crowd Fred Phelps is partial to a bit of man on man action himself

We always hate in others what we hate in ourselves. :03:

Now that you mention it i'm surprised that gay groups haven't started a counter demonstration campaign. Not at servicemens funerals but right outside their church.

WBC's message is too ridiculous to protest, I guess. :lol:

On the other hand...

Not sure if this next one is related, but it's funny:

Plenty of counter-protest, but WBC gets most of the attention.

What would be awesome is if they could team up with the Patriot Riders to put even more bodies in the line that screens out the loonies. :yep:

I think it would be great to include two more ranks to that; one for driving the group a few blocks away from the funeral services, and another one to join in at that point to run the buggers all the way out of town. :yep:

Yeah, I don't think that's likely to happen. :DL

But imagine a gay protest with all it's festive trappings right outside their church front door. It might keep those nuts at home and on the defensive instead of giving them the time to show up at military funerals.

Eh I guess if it were practical it probably would have been tried already.

Concerning this so-called church...

Me thinks they doth protest too much. :yep:

Someone's having problems with guilt. :smug:

Haha, I was right about social media being a great channel to let people know about this. One of my friends relayed this message this on facebook today:

Quote:

‎"The Anatomy of Hate" plays at the FLC library tonight. The Westboro Baptist Church (the godhatesfags.com fags) is coming all the way from Kansas to protest it. So who wants to go ridicule the stupidest people in America tonight and then catch a free movie?

Now this is the attitude I wanna see :up:

Sorry to dig this one up from the grave, but I loved this:

Shortly after protesting the funeral of Army Sgt. Jason James McCluskey in Oklahoma, members of the Westboro Baptist Church headed back to their minivan, only to discover that its front and rear passenger-side tires had been slashed. To make matters worse, when they drove into town they were unable to find anyone who would repair it.

No. As much as I disagree with these jerks (and I do), committing illegal acts is not the appropriate response. :nope:

The spirit of our nation's belief in the concept of freedom of speech is tested in how we treat people who we vehemently disagree with.

I hate what these people are saying, but I would hate it more if their rights were infringed. Then everyone loses.
