Nothing these awful pieces of human garbage do seems to surprise me anymore. If they ever come to protest in the DC/MD/VA area, I will definitely be there to give them a piece of my mind...

But seriously, wtf is wrong with Fred Phelps? SMH.

The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) has found a new group of people to rally against. The Kansas church, most infamous for its hatred of homosexuals, posted a document last Monday on its website celebrating the deaths of the Joplin, Missouri tornado victims.

“Thank God for 89 dead & counting in Joplin, Mo & 1 dead in Reading, KS!” the document declared in capital letters. “God’s whirlwind is pounding the enemies of Christ! WBC will picket your raging blasphemous stinky memorials!”

The members believe this tragedy in Joplin—and all other tragedies around the world—happened because God wants to punish people for homosexuality. The group plans to protest at the memorial service planned for Sunday, and will rally against President Barack Obama’s visit as well.

“Enter stage left Antichrist himself —Beast Barack Obama—with big-mouth trumpeting about Rebuilding,” a new document, posted yesterday, said. “God’s promised you will not rebuild brutes!”

WBC has recently gained media attention by picketing at soldier funerals, and members claim Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has attacked them by supporting laws prohibiting protesting at these services.

But before WBC goes to Missouri, they plan to protest outside three high schools in Savannah, Georgia tomorrow. They protested outside several Savannah churches last Sunday.

To help promote unity within the town and to contrast Westboro’s message, community groups in Savannah held a candlelight vigil on Wednesday to promote peace.

“These people should be ashamed of themselves,” Chastity Bingham said in a comment onozarksfirst.com. “If I was there I would definitely have a hard time not attacking them! These people disturb me deeply!”

The WBC group sometimes referred to as a cult, has previously praised Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords’ shooter, protested against Jews at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. and has renamed Australia “Sodom.” The WBC also parodies songs by popular artists such as The Beatles and Lady Gaga.

Personally I think we'd be better off if the media just stopped reporting on these *******s. They clearly thrive on the attention they get.

Very true. Maybe we, as a community, should start. Just don't even mention them. And "officially" NNT the WBC.

These people work because of the attention they receive. It's pretty well noted that this family is a family of lawyers who get income through lawsuits against them because of their horrible acts of protest and views. It's not as easy as it sounds, but the absolute best course of action concerning WBC is to ignore them, or do what Lisa Lampanelli did.

Hate is a word my mom taught me to never use. And to this day I rarely do. But I truly, deeply, with every ounce of my soul, hate these mother ****ers.

If anything HH they should teach you the dangers of allowing hatred into your heart. Forgive them and should you ever have the opportunity tell them so. Tell them that they can let go of the weight of that hatred and walk with peace in their hearts.

Our place is not to judge the sinner. Our place is to serve and give glory to God in all things.

You know what, I think I've finally figured out the Westboro Baptist Church. I don't think they actually believe what they're preaching at all. No, this is actually an experiment in how far a group of people can take the first amendment. It's a kind of....extreme legal exercise.

That's the only logical explanation for this craziness.

My conscience was saying the same thing as I posted what I said earlier. I know you're absolutely right, but I really, really struggle with that in their case. You're a better man than I, sir.

I'm amazed nobody had taken out this scumbag organization in a fit of rage. Notice thought they they never got into the "hood" with their protests. Lately though I think their efforts are marginalized due to efforts from other great people/organizations (by totally blocking them by view).

Serious question- how come nobody has ever attacked the protestors? I know what they're doing is legal and all, but considering the sensitivity of the situations they place themselves, it is a little surprising that not even one person has thrown a heavy object at them.
