Religion You've Got to Hand It to These Assholes
Posted by Dominic Holden on Wed, Feb 8, 2012 at 12:07 PM
No other assholes gape as wide:
Meanwhile, in compassionately puckered sphincters, Occupy Seattle organizers are planning a counter-protest to shield funeral-goers from the sight and stench.

Occupy Seattle, proving that for every grandstanding herp there is an equal and opposite grandstanding derp.

Here's the latest I've found on the possibility that these inflammatory fuckwits are using legal tactics to make money by inciting people to attack them (after which the Phelps clan sues).
http://stanfordreview.org/article/countd…
TL; DR -- 1) they may not be making money to fund their activities via suing, 2) they are all lawyers and will probably sue you if you violate their rights, 3) no one is really sure how they fund themselves.
Here's to the Occupy forces willing to act as a human shield ... Don't get sucked in to their provocations! And write up your observations so that we may be able to identify their weak spots.

Stop republishing the Westboro Press Releases if you ever want them to go away. They literally make their livings off your hate.

I don't get it. What do they mean when they say it's the Governor's fault? I'm sure it's batshitty, but I'm just confused at this point...
6
Just as murder/suicides always start off by killing the wrong person... It is always the WRONG people who get blown up in houses....

Someone put a 7.62mm round into some faces.
I assure you from personal experience, when you do it to crazy muslim extremists, the results are incredibly conclusive. I have no doubt the same would be true of crazy Christian extremists.

@2,
Would the average Occupy protester have enough money to make suing worthwhile? Or does the WBC make its money suing third parties, such as the police for not adequately protecting them?

@5: when people die in any manner that makes the news in the same general vicinity/time where the government shows insufficient contempt for gay people, WBC points to the deaths as God's punishment for the state's "rebellion".
Presumably, all the deaths that don't make the news in the same general geographic vicinity and time frame are just coincidences.

If we can put equal rights and the condition of my uterus up for public votes, can’t we vote to eject these lousy humans from our country?
12
@10 Why stop there, why not a referrendum on execution? Since they seem to support the idea of the will of the people to overcome the rights of individuals, what more fundamental right than to your life?
13
Is it legal to set up a big fabric wall that isolates them from everybody else? Visually, at least. Nobody can see them and they can't see anybody.
I know that was generally the idea of those angel counter-protestors that put on those silly (and yet effective and well-chosen) outfits and formed a barricade in past events, but could you take it that much further?

@11 Well, aside from Phelps family members that Fred himself has raped, does anyone care if these people die a violent death? They have no friends outside their little incest circle.
In a country awash with weapons, how is it that an RPG hasn't found the Phelps van?

Queer occupy anarchists vs. Westboro church? Oh this should be fun. Just what this poor family needs, Ian Finkle-up-my-bum-ster coming to their rescue.

@15, that reminded me of this surprising video series, in which a gay DJ taped himself hanging out with the Phelps people. I'm still not sure what to make of it...

All the people here who wish death upon the Phelps should probably watch

To give a feel for how they operate. It's pretty fascinating. Phelps is a horrible, horrible man, and beat the living fuck out of his children, and while I have no doubt that the cycle of abuse is continuing in the next generation, I hope that some of the grandkids make it out as sane as they possibly can.

@5: What they meant to say is that they're running low on cash and need to piss people off so they can sue and re-up their bank accounts.

@15: Someone slashed their tires while they were passing through Oklahoma to protest a soldier's funeral. And then no auto mechanic in town would make the repairs for them. Here.
It's a sin, I know, but I do wish for their deaths. If I knew that I would get away with it, I would gladly slit their throats for their hatred and blasphemy.
