I'll exercise my free speech by noting that Fred Phelps is a loathsome mound of shit. In doing so, I mean no disrepect or denigration to shit, however.

That last suggestion appears to be organizing via Facebook.

It was nice of the Westboro lunatics to stage their protest in front of the child development center. Stay classy bigots!

If I can haul out of bed early enough I'll be the guy with the "Mr. T hates chili" sign.

I have no takers yet on the love-in. Come on -- am I not in Portland? I'm still willing to do this if anyone can help me out on the who, how, and where. Email me or drop by the Facebook group. -- Lisa Brandt Heckman

I am in an extremely small town in E. WA where citizens (term used loosely) actually support Fred Phelps types. In high school, they majored in spitballs, smoking in the bathroom and looking down girl's dresses...and don't realize they are semi-literate at best. The under informed, those under educated and lacking any curiosity; like oxen, eat their way to the grave. Hatred is a terrible waste of

i hate to be a typical /b/tard, but phelps and crew are nothing more than IRL trolls. go fuck with them because they'd do he same to you, not because of some "morality".

Hello Everyone,

If you truly desire to stop Fred Phelps and the members of Westboro Baptist Church. Please work to stop them by using Financial Pressure.

In my opinion, the best way to accomplish is to support the efforts of Al Snyder. Mr Snyder is the individual that filed a lawsuit against Freddy and his Westboro Baptist Church after they picketed the funeral of his 20 year old son Lance Corporal Matthew Snyder. Matthew was Killed in Iraq on March 3, 2006.

My Snyder prevailed in his lawsuit and was awarded a Five Million Dollars judgement. Naturally Westboro appealed and so far have lost every appeal. However the battle continues, while the legal firm representing Mr Snyder is doing the work at no charge. There are still costs for Filing Fees, Experts, Mailing, etc!

For a lot more detailed information, please check out their Website. Which is easily found by entering "Lance Corporal Matthew Snyder" into your search engine. It and related site will give you a good overview of the events to date.

In my opinion, If you can cripple them financially, you have stopped them cold. No money for Airfares, Car Rentals, Motel Rooms, Etc, Etc. Taking all their money is the best and most effective way to bring a halt to their Insanity. Counter protests are all fine and good, but after so many years of their continuing antics. It is obvious, counter protest "Will Not Stop Them". However, in my opinion, I am positive, TAKING ALL THEIR MONEY WILL STOP THEM!!!

Respectfully,
Handyman

Open Letter to the Westborough Baptist Church

"When the satisfaction or the security of another person becomes as significant to one as one's own satisfaction or security, than the state of love exists ... under no other circumstances is a state of love present.
"
- Harry Stack Sullivan

Mr. Sullivan's definition of love gives fresh perspective to Christ's command to "love your neighbor as yourself" and your enemies as well.


And He asks that you prove that love by feeding them if they are hungry, by sheltering and clothing them if they are needy, by visiting them if they are sick or in prison, by forgiving them if they offend you, and by blessing them and praying for them even if they curse you.


Not once does He ask you to make them behave.

how is it that the mercury will blog this and yet they published photos of the "god hates fags" protest in this week's photo lottery? Publishing signs with hate slogans is NOT OK. I am writing a letter to the editor.

I'm not pro gay, and I am a Baptist, but I'm really ashamed of the fact he calls himself Baptist. I have been a Baptist all my life and now a youth leader and for him to call himself Baptist or his Church Baptist is a digrace to himself and his congregation. They are just another sick cult and may God have mercy on there them, for they are the ones that are headed to hell. This is not what Jesus would have done when he walked this Earth.

Please wait...
