Westboro Baptist Church Whackos in Pittsburgh to picket police officer funerals

[RamboLiberal]

Those whack jobs make me wish there was a hell cause these whackos sure would be in the devils inner circle.

[YOY]

1. One of these day...they are truly gonna picket the wrong people.

Few tears will be shed.

[Junkdrawer]

10. Pittsburgh may just be that place...

An estimated 15,000 to 20,000 police officers from the United States and Canada are expected to attend.

[Ilsa]

12. I wouldn't complain over police abuse in a situation like this.

These people have been so abusive that they deserve some to be heaped right back on them.

[rvablue]

24. This is actually Fred's greatest hope and why he does what he does

Phelps and his hate-filled spawn protest these high-profile funerals with the hope that someone will attack them.

It's how they fund themselves and their despicable cause.

They hope to get assaulted and then they can sue both the "aggressor" and the local police department for not protecting their 1st ammendment rights.

I have had the displeasure of seeing how these cromag thugs act up close and personal. It was disgusting. And what made it worse is how vigilantly the local PDs have to protect them. The cops are aware of what the cretans are up to and so go the extra mile to make sure there is no trouble.

30. Now I understand.

It's about $$$.

2. Republican right wing in action.

[ET Awful]

9. Sadly, they're not Republicans. . . .

Ole' Freddy is a registered Democrat.

You wouldn't know it by his actions, but he is.

[Democracyinkind]

3. Help me out here ... Of what whacko persuasion are they? Are those the freaks

... that crashed the military funerals too?
Or a new breed?

[Tim01]

6. Same people

[YOY]

8. Fred Phelps crew.

AKA the "God Hates Fags" folks.

One big family of fundies from Kansas that form the WEstboro Baptist Church.

[Democracyinkind]

11. Ok... I'm kinda relieved to know that it's them... So I can just file them under "batshit crazy"

[YOY]

15. Perfect place to file it. Put a big gold star to accentuate the file's appropriateness there.

Few other facts. Republicans like to point out that Fred is a Democrat...he ran on the democratic ticket against a moderate Republican in Kansas. One of those cases where the Democrat is farther right than the Republican.

The old man rules the family with an iron fist and there are strange overtones of abuse.

Check out the family history on Wikipedia...they are fucked up beyond recognition.

[Democracyinkind]

19. I once saw and interview with some teen girls from his extended family -

that was more proof than I ever could have needed.


funny that you notice his being a democrat - in my mind he is the archetype of the "old democrat" ...
You know, the type who hated anything non-white or progressive .... The ones that switched to the GOP when they started their populist downfall.

[YOY]

20. He's a Democrat only because he needed to run against a Republican.

That was the only motivation he needed. He lost that election thank goodness. I think he sued though. He tends to sue everyone he can including those who harass him.

Yeah...he does resemble a Dixiecrat on steroids though...

[Democracyinkind]

21. God gave him dominion over our judicial system.

Crazy, crazy, crazy country.

[Roon]

14. These people have been protesting aids victim's funerals

since 1993. It wasn't until they started protesting soldiers' funerals the public became outraged.

[Warpy]

4. They make me wish the IRS was doing its job

enforcing the separation of church and state while going after churches like this one that are naked family tax dodges.

[rurallib]

5. Man, I thought sure they'd come to Iowa

because of gay marriage. What do we have to do to get some respect?

[Bluzmann57]

17. If they come to Iowa

Or at least to Davenport, you may be hearing about a man getting arrested and thrown in jail for assault. And if said man gets a judge with any sense, he will be turned loose for trying to do society a favor.

[MiniMe]

25. You are saved. According to their schedule (posted below)...

they will be there on 4/24/09 6:45-7:30 am

http://www.godhatesfags.com/schedule.html

Polk County Administration Bldg - Fags Can't Marry, Silly! 111 Court Avenue These really "proud" fags in Iowa are not too forthcoming with the information, but we wanted you all to know that we intend to picket the first fags/dykes who are wed in that state. So, just consider the date/time To Be Determined (TBD). We were there when they let the fag flag be flown over that Capital, and each other time Iowa did some insane, flagrant sinning contrary to their own interest. We might as well be there when they do this bit of silliness. It is just lovely to see how God mocks them. They think they are mocking God, but God mocks them: Galathians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Proverbs 1:26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; Just hold on you silly, pushy fags. Pretty soon the last thing in this world you are going to be worried about is getting married one-to-another. You will be more concerned with having food, clothing and shelter as God continues to take your jobs, and destroy your economy. You will only be under the same roof with someone else so you can try to consume them in their sleep. That's RIGHT, under Beast Obama, you will eat your children - or, er, um the adopted children some dumb ass Social Services worker allowed you to adopt. AMEN!

13. Oh please keep them in Pittsburgh!!

We are so sick of them here.

[PA Democrat]

16. Do you happen to know where they will be picketing?

The memorial service at the Peterson Event Center is on the Pitt campus. Pitt students are pretty liberal and won't appreciate their campus being polluted by the Westboro Baptist filth.

[Echo In Light]

18. Picketing funerals in general is a profoundly shitty thing to do, period

[Junkdrawer]

22. OMG: Ever read his "schedule"?

23. Why, exactly, does god hate cops?

I mean, I understand why god hated Natasha Richardson, 'cause, like everyone else involved with Broadway theater, she supported a cure for AIDS (no, seriously, they picketed her funeral, too!), which as we all know is god's revenge against fags, but why would god hate cops? Aren't all cops hetero?

26. Phelp's ranting (from his schedule in my post above)...

University of Pittsburgh - God Sent the Shooter, Thank God! 3719 Terrace Street How many more of your lying, oath-breaking, bloody-handed, criminal cops are going to have to be slaughtered before you get the concept? God Hates Lying, Oath-Breaking cops! You taught those cops to ignore their oaths, and just like the Roman cops who crucified Jesus, they are brutish and evil. God sent the shooter, God hates you, You're Going To Hell. Never, ever forget how much trouble a lying, criminal cop is in. Look at what their spiritual forefathers did to our Lord and Savior and you know these cops TODAY would do the same thing, if given permission by our Heavenly Father: Matthew 27:27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. 28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. 31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. For this and so much more that these criminal, God-hating brute cops have done and do, pray for MORE DEAD COPS! And as promised by God, we will see more, just stand by: Psalm 18:46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. 47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. 48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. 49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. 50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore. AMEN!

Now, if you asked me to make up a black satire post with more insanity, I would have to look you square in the eye and ask "How?"

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

27. "Aren't all cops hetero?" No, anybody who hates "fags" less than he does is a "fag" himself.

Therefore, they celebrate each and every bad thing that happens to absolutely anybody.

I wonder what they think of Commander Sullenberger, having saved all those people in NYC. Maybe he sold his soul to the Devil.

[KamaAina]

28. Actually, there have reportedly been Phelps sightings in a most unlikely place

lower Polk St. in SF, the second-gayest street in the world, behind only the more upscale Castro. For all we know, he was patronizing Margaret Cho's parents' bookstore there; Cho comes by her gay-friendliness naturally.

[ddeclue]

29. Taking the First Amendment to the Edge of the Envelope...

It's SOOO hard to sit on your hands with these jackasses...

[Oakley]

31. One day...

Hateful people fuled by self-righteous BS. One day they are going to face the wrong crowd.
