I say we take this church group and drop them in a country that does not have freedom of speech and see how long they last.

Teh funnay is mod cannot even spell idiot.
:beer: though...violence only works well to combat violence. So far these wackos have not crossed that line. I do feel there is a good case to block their freedom of speech on the count of possibility to encite a riot.

Phelps is neither Christian nor Baptist. Westboro isn't even really a church, people. It's a cult family that meets in the basement of Phelp's house, and make their living through stirring up controversy and staging daily protests.
Read up on Fred Phelps here at wiki. The guy is a real psycho piece of work.

Best aprt about that is they contact the family to see if the family wants them to come. If not then they won't. These people make me in favor of a rule about protesting within 500ft (or more) of a funeral.
These people make me sick. I really hope they don't get air-time (it will only encourage them)
Yup, the best thing to do is not give them any media attention. I am betting a lot of it now has to do with this being their only means to make a living now.

No it's the Patriot Guard which "may" have some Hell's Angels as members along with other "1%er" Clubs. It also has members from other mainstream clubs like BACA (Bikers against Child Abuse) the Blue Knights (Cop Club) and many independent Bikers who don't belong to any other organiztion besides the Patriot Guard.
I live in Lafayette , Indiana , and this church sent a group of people to protest when one of our local soldiers was killed in Iraq. In our country the of course are allowed the right to protest , and they were even given a spot to protest and hold their signs. RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE CHURCH WHERE THEY WERE HOLDING HIS SERVICE.
Now I think that anyone with some common courtesy or any measure of decency would know that this is just not right.
The coolest thing that I've seen in a long time happened the same day. A group of local motorcycle riders , and a national biker group showed up at the same time , and stood between the protesters and the church , and stood holding flags to block them from the families view.
I'm not religious , but these people obviously need to re-read the bible and try to get something out of it.

Yeah, they only use the religious angle for effect. They're really just about media attention and lawsuits. Once you figure that out, everything they do makes (perverted) sense. The best thing to do is just ignore them.

Like Vic said, these people aren't Baptist and aren't a church. Just when you think you can't see anything more outragious, along comes this group of extremist wacko's and their garbage about how these little Amish girls brought it upon themselves :|
While I wouldn't expect the Amish to handle these people violently, I hope their neighbors will. I think if I lived over there I'd be willing to show up and throw a few punches even if I landed in jail.

i cant wait until it is revealed that in fact phelps is a closet homosexual...i mean it always seems to happen that these type of people are the biggest hypocrites...they in fact engage in the activities they so adamantly crusade against.
dont these people have jobs? how do they make a living if they protest funerals all the time?

"Phelps advocates patriarchal domination in marriage, enforced by violence, stating: "Brethren, they can lock us up, but we'll still do what the Bible tells us to do. Either our wives are going to obey, or we're going to beat them!"[2]"
-From the Wiki
That true? How the fvck did this guy get married in the first place? Second, I realize that I don't have the Bible memorized verbatim, but could someone show me where in the Bible is tells the husband to beat his wife?

They have canceled the protest
pdf
In consideration for having WBC's representative on the Mike Gallagher Show from 10 to 11 a.m., Thursday, October 5, WBC has cancelled the Amish school girl picket.
Mike Gallagher should just hang up as soon as they call in. No protest and none of their rhetoric would be a great thing.

That pastor is an inconsiderate c0cksucker and the rest of his congregation are complete wackos!!! :|
Evil bastards. If there's a hell, I hope they rot in it for all eternity. They certainly deserve it.

It was the patriot gaurd..and a group of my buddies who are stunt riders that did the blocking at the funeral...it was really cool , and made me wish I didn't have to work and could have stood there with them holding flags.
