Westboro Baptist Church
 

I know we've discussed Fred Phelps in my "Politcal Douches" thread (it was an epic fail and me and MT2008 ended on a vey bad note), but I have decided to discuss him in further detail. Anyway, there are a few things that caused me to dispise and loathe the Westboro Baptist Church. The first is when they picketd the funeral of Matthew Shepard. Matthew Shepard was beaten with the barrel of a Smith & Wesson .357 revolver and left to die out in a field, tied to a fence. The reason or why he was assaulted was solely because he was a homosexual. The Westboro Baptist Church protested at his funeral and the trial of his assaliants. They said that he was rottening in hell. They displayed signs saying "Matthew Shepard rots in hell","AIDS kills Fags Dead", and (the most repulsing of all) "God Hates Fags". This is basically reopening the wounds of Shepard's loved ones and pouring salt on it.

This is my reason to hate the Westboro Baptist Church. Please respond and comment. I'll provide more information later.

It's a crying shame that these assholes are allowed to protest someone's funeral just because of their sexual preference.They remind me of those fuckers in Jasper who pretty much threw all the non-Baptists out of town

you didnt have to say anything
the title of this topic just flairs me up at these dumb mother fuckers
who in the right mind would pull any of the things they would pull
they are the ones who will rot in hell

They are just cowards hiding behind numbers

Go on to Youtube and type in "The truth about Westboro Baptist Church". You'll find some dirt on the Phelpses.

these assholes protest at soldiers funerals.

Worse, these assholes protest at a US Marines funeral. With signs saying "Thank God for dead soldiers"

It's a miracle that someone hasn't fire bombed their church

I sure hope God has mercy on them because no one will. I hope their names will be scorn in this country. They hide behind the freedom to speech like it's a free pass for them to offend everyone whenever they like, spit on the graves of men that has died for this country, so that these fuckers can take up signs to protest about gays and ego stroke themselves.

I hate Westboro Baptist Church as much as anyone. That being said, why do we need this topic? Since everyone else seems to agree that they suck, and since political topics on this forum tend to turn out badly, I'd prefer we did not have a topic like this.

You're preaching to the choir on this, Swordfish, so can I please just close this topic?
