I always respected how the Patriot Guard Riders combated the Westboro idiots. They block them out:

It's about time people stood up to those jackasses.

The bozos were out this way claiming the PG&E pipeline blast was God's punishment, blah, blah, blah....

It's as if they are another species, or is there some common gene missing?

thats crazy. I can see on one hand raising awareness for anti war causes (although even that in this situation may be in bad taste). But that? wow. Crazy.

And is it even worth it to go on a witch hunt for gays? I mean really?

The sad thing is that they don't stop to question their own sanity.

Somebody needs to convince these guys that they need to go to Afghanistan and/or Iran to "spread the word." That'll keep'em busy

you kidding me? a bunch of people who hate american troops and gays at the same time? they might just make them king in Iran

Buddahaid · 11-08-10, 11:42 PM

I don't think they hate the troops, just blame gay tolerance for their demise.

Hey maybe they'll immigrate. It could be a win win win situation for all concerned.

Care to revise your statement?

Unfortunately we had our own such funeral back in September. some of you recall I'm sure. and these bastards showed up.

Fortunately... thanks to the patriot guard riders, they went largely unseen.

Here's a possibly good use of facebook/twitter and all these other newfangled social media thingies: set up a community alerting system about military funerals where these scumbags are likely to appear. Then get together a civil blocking force on the day - you'd be doing your community a hell of a lot of good service, and thanking the troops for ultimate sacrifices. Hopefully something like that already exists though!

Have any of these people been shot, stabbed or seriously beaten? I would be surprised if the answer is no.

Outright attacking them would just further their agenda, you know martyrdom and all that bull.

Doesn't make them any less deserving of a good beating though.

Has anyone thought of just giving Fred a big hug and a kiss?
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
