Westboro Church is jealous!

O, yeah, just the thing a grieving parent would want to have to deal with.

I have always been an advocate of free speech, but they really are pushing my limits.

Road trip time Vern . . . notify pickel to start the logistic's!

Time to picket the picketers.

That just sad.

There can be few if any IMOs here who would disagree that this cult should be dismantled. This is just crazy-talk. The WBC is in my 2011 Dead Pool, via kool-aid or a Waco shoot-out scenario. They can't seem to resist their God-calling urge to start up crap like this.

The Gov't will do the wet-work soon enough now that the "fag-haters" endorse gov't official asassinations. I foresee a burning church/compound live on CNN sometime this year. A half-day of wasted network coverage again.

Toad.. It's NOT the church that needs burning. After all, it is a House of God. It's the scum that use this church and it's symbolism that needs to be crucified and be made an example of.

It's a family-run business, and apparently it's doing very well.

John Scalzi:

Some folks are asking me about my thoughts on the Westboro Baptist Church deciding to picket the funeral of the nine-year-old victim of the Tucson shooting. Very briefly:

1. Fred Phelps and his pals make me wish I were a religious man, so I could enjoy imagining the lot of them spending eternity as a human centipede in the very bowels of Hell. But that’s really not a good reason to want to be religious.

2. The day Charlie Stross pointed me to an online essay positing that Fred Phelps is a con man, I felt many things were suddenly clarified. You may find it similarly elucidating.

3. I do think one positive thing about the Westboro Baptist Church is that whether we’re conservative or liberal, gay or straight, hawk or dove, young or old, rich or poor, we can all agree on one thing: those people are assholes. And that’s a comforting thought.
