Can we skip the "OMG Westboro Baptist" thread this time [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by NewHendoLib (a host of the General Discussion forum).

I just posted a comment about how these and other religious bloodsuckers will be jumping on the OK tragedy.

Since there are those who obviously did not understand the comment, let me spell it out more clearly:

There will be, very shortly if not already, persons who will ascribe this tragedy to teh gay, abortion, having a black president, or the other things that piss off their angry and malevolent God.

There will be, shortly after that, a thread on DU about "OMG Westoro Baptist...."

Let's just take it as a given that WBC, Pat Robertson, and all the usual suspects will weigh in, and do not deserve the dignity of a thread of their own here.

but you just pre-empted them to it, ensuring there would be one Electric Monk May 2013 #1

There will be, and we don't need them. Thanks for self deleting yours. uppityperson May 2013 #2

We should just have a permanent "OMG Westboro Baptist" thread jberryhill May 2013 #6

Except for this one of course lame54 May 2013 #3

Thank you? Texasgal May 2013 #4

you made a thread to joke about the Boston Bombing CreekDog May 2013 #5

No, it was a thread to joke about Paul Ryan's self importance jberryhill May 2013 #8

No, it was an OP that joked that Paul Ryan said he was at the Boston Marathon CreekDog May 2013 #20

Precisely jberryhill May 2013 #21

It wasn't "precisely" a comment, it was an OP you made CreekDog May 2013 #25

Now that's a good question jberryhill May 2013 #19

in other words, you were wrong to ask posters to do something you just did CreekDog May 2013 #28

wow you made an OP joking about this Oklahoma City too? CreekDog May 2013 #33

No, I made a sarcastic comment about people who ascribe these things to an angry God jberryhill May 2013 #52

And, yea, another shall rise to take his place jberryhill May 2013 #23

I hope they just keep their mouths shut. God bless the victims of this Tornado. hrmjustin May 2013 #24

Why do YOU get to invoke god, but not them? cleanhippie May 2013 #31

My saying God bless the victims is terrible. hrmjustin May 2013 #32

If your god can bless the victims, your god should have prevented this from happening in the first cleanhippie May 2013 #34

You and I both know it's not. Anyone who thinks otherwise can take a leap... n/t cherokeeprogressive May 2013 #37

Well I like that poster but we just disagree on this. hrmjustin May 2013 #38

You first. cleanhippie May 2013 #40

Already have. cherokeeprogressive May 2013 #42

Again, why do YOU get to invoke god, but not them? cleanhippie May 2013 #35

They can say whatever they want ok. Jeez I am sorry I said anything. hrmjustin May 2013 #36

That still does not answer the question of why you want THEM to shut up, but you get free speech. cleanhippie May 2013 #39

Part of my free speech is to tell them to shut up. hrmjustin May 2013 #43

Ok, so why do you think it's ok for YOU to invoke your god, but they shouldn't? cleanhippie May 2013 #44

When I said shut up I meant that they should not spread their hate. They can invoke God all hrmjustin May 2013 #45
