    their insane, if they go though with it, id imagine ppl are going to rip them apart


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    Very much doubt they'd be "killed" in a literal sense (unfortunately, I would absolutely love to read that these f*cks were shot dead). Sick that they're going to picket it though, but they're absolute media whores with an insane message so I'm not surprised to see they'll be turning up at it tbh.

    I hope they do just so they all get killed and we'll be rid of them for good.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 356 ✭✭Tchocky


    La la la, don't pay attention.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    ^Exactly, don't give them the satisfaction to think that they are being heard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Didn't they even protest at the funerals of the kids who died in the Amish School shooting last year?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    I believe they did. Loons.

    Some radio host offered them 1 hour of free time on radio if they didnt picket the amish girls funerals.

    That's just madness but public opinion doesnt seem to stop them.

    They travel all over the county protesting at soldiers funerals.

    One day there will be another nut job who will vent their anger at these people. I wonder how many people would turn up to protest at that funeral?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    Here's hoping the patriot rider guys show up again to drown these fvcks out with their bikes :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 890 ✭✭✭patrickolee


    Nutters. You can kinda see the twisted logic they use for picketing the us military funerals (not that I agree with it), but why oh why would they picket the funerals of innocent college kids. Makes no sense whatsoever.

    -Edit - Except maybe its purely for publicity, in which case we should not even discuss it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,851 ✭✭✭Glowing


    They make me so mad, those people.

    Are they evil or just completely thick?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    Why oh why did you but the name of the church inthe title of the thread ?
    You know they google to see how far their message has spread why give them the satifcation ?

    I can understand thier point of view that america is morally bankrupt and that
    thier god is the one of the old testement and is wrathful and they see such events as thier god punishing people and want to aleart people to this but
    I have no time for thier methods they are inhumane.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    I hope the Killer comes back to life for a minute to redeem himself somewhat and shoots these hideous hick clowns.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,783 ✭✭✭Binomate


    It's a real shame Cho Seung-Hui didn't go fuck up the Westboro Baptist Church instead of VT. It just surprises me that that they can be so deluded to think that they are in no harm doing this shit because God protects the righteous and I can't wait for the day that they learn the hard way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,303 ✭✭✭source


    Why did this happen, you ask? It's simple. On April 16, 2007, this nation, through the offices of your military and conspirators therewith took a shot at the servants of God -- your marksman was limp and lame and he had terror all around, so he did a lousy job. But what you get for your trouble is that your God shot at you! The LORD your God sent a crazed madman to shoot at your children, and he didn't miss. Get this straight -- God sent this South Korean madman to kill 31 of your children at Virginia Tech. Was God asleep while this took place? Was He on vacation? Of course not. He willed this to happen to punish you for assailing His servants.

    took this from the link above and i have one thing to say about it............NUTJOBS!!!!!!!!!!!

    -edit- also on the tv show they came across as thinking that they were the only true "servants of God" so maybe going off the first line in this paragraph somebody already has taken a potshot at them and didn't succeed............pity.

    Such hateful individuals, I feel sorry for their kids that they'll never have any kind of normal life :( and saying that I don't know how Louis Theroux resisted the urge to just smack her in face when he was filming that documentary. I'm amazed that anybody can be so ignorant and spiteful.:mad:

    Paying attention to them is what they want. They don't care if you agree with them, just giving them attention spurs them on to do it. Ignore them. The leader is clearly a pseudo-cultist patriachal homosexual-in-denial. They're not worth paying attention to.


  • Moderators, Politics Moderators Posts: 41,244 Mod ✭✭✭✭Seth Brundle


    These sick fúcks also own www.godhatesfags.com which is funny in a scary way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    The funny thing is, if you did kill them, they couldn't complain, as they would see it as an act of God.
    Technically speaking, they would rejoice in you killing them, because it was gods doing.

    It's tough believing in providence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,039 ✭✭✭✭Kintarō Hattori


    As someone mentioned they are simply media whores. Their message is extreme but I think it lacks intelligence. Reading what they have to say you can see that they lack any kind of substance. They are shouting, purely just to be heard and without saying much.

    Ignore, Ignore, Ignore.

    Damn f*ckers - the only reason they keep at sh1te like this is because they will, invariably, get some media attention which they hope will "highlight" their church. :mad:

    As mentioned already, they should be ignored.

    One question, how come they haven't already been put in jail for "causing distress" to the families of the victims of the Ahmish killings?? Surely with all the bizarre laws in the US, there would have been one to cover something like this????? Or does one exist already?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 24,144 Mod ✭✭✭✭robinph


    However fecked up their beliefs are I could understand them doing these pickets at funerals if they were actually trying to convert people to their cause in doing so. But they are not looking for anyone else to join their "church". As far as I could see from the Louis Theroux program all they are doing is looking for events at which they can go along and laugh at other peoples misfortune at the hands of the vengeful being that they belive in, they are not offering any kind of solution that people might be able to use to save themselves though. They just enjoy seeing the suffering of others.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,960 ✭✭✭DarkJager


    Indeed they seem like the biggest pack of inbred ****wits to ever walk the earth... A quick death would be too good for these ****ers. Thankfully not everyone is willing to listen to their ****:

    During a March 26, 1993 protest at Topeka's Vintage Restaurant, a riot broke out and eight WBC members were hospitalized for various minor injuries; WBC now pickets the restaurant every day, as well as the places of business where employees went after leaving the Vintage in an attempt to escape Westboro. In addition, the congregants hold a memorial service every year on the 26th, commemorating what they refer to as "the Vintage Massacre".

    In 1994, a woman tried to run down protesters in Topeka after one of them screamed obscenities at her while her pick-up truck was parked at a stop light. She was arrested, but was later found not guilty due to temporary insanity.

    In 2003, WBC member Charles Hockenbarger, who was in his 70s at the time, had his face crushed in a beating after standing on a street corner holding a sign reading "THANK GOD FOR SEPT. 11". Hockenbarger was recovering from open heart surgery at the time and ignoring the usual doctor's orders for bed rest. Westboro posted photos of the aftermath of the attack on its homepage, claiming that the (still unidentified) perpetrator was a homosexual and that the attack had been part of a murder conspiracy to kill Hockenbarger, though offering no proof of these allegations.

    During a protest at the 2005 presidential inauguration of George W. Bush, WBC protesters were slapped, kicked and had their signs forcefully taken by other protesters.

    There have been differing reports on actions at an October 5, 2005, picket of a Wisconsin soldier's funeral. One report was that Sheriff Todd Nehls asked Paulette Phelps to move so he could protect her. Her group called him a Nazi and refused to comply. A conflicting claim put forth by members of the WBC alleges that Sheriff Nehls punched Paulette Phelps in the face. Video of the purported incident at godhatesfags.com — which claims to show Nehls striking one of the church members — is ambiguous, and at the point the purported attack takes place, the camera is pointed at the ground (indeed, large portions of the video are made up of shots of Westboro members' feet and the ground).

    During a picket in Seaford, Delaware on May 21, 2006, a mob broke through police lines and tried to assault WBC members who fled into a police van. Some of the mob then began banging on the van attempting to get inside. Two windows of the van were shattered before the van could get away. Five people face criminal charges.

    In 2002 Blue Valley North High School held productions of The Laramie Project play. Westboro members made it known that they were coming to picket the school. To their surprise many students cut class to meet the picketers and a small riot ensued with a few instances of car vandalism. The school later made tickets to the shows "buy ahead" in order to keep Westboro members from interrupting the play. Subsequently Phelps' website started declaring that "God Hates Blue Valley North" and proceeded to picket every year's graduation ceremony following the event.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,698 ✭✭✭InFront


    They're crazy, and again it's their kids I really feel sorry for. Do they never get arrested for this sort of thing?

    There freedom of speach and assembly are protected under the first ammendment. If you look for videos of these guys on youtube there so funny. Look out for one by an austrailian journalist and Micheal Moore. It shows them up to be real cowards

    Heh heh yeah, the one at the college with the chest wasnt bad.:)

    I dont know why a couple of lads dont just **** a load of beers in them and go try pulling them at the protest, just strolling up, waffling to them along the lines of believing in their lunatic beliefs and basically see how long you could last.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,983 ✭✭✭✭tuxy


    Why do people/media keep giving this church/cult publicity. Ignore them and they might go away


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 515 ✭✭✭daithimac


    I think its besically that there interesting. That and sunlight is the best disinfectant. One good thing they do is unite a deeply devided nation (in thinking there loons)

    No, I don't buy that at all. The only thing that saves the Phelps from prosecution under the Patriot Act is that they use the American/ English word for God. (dubiously thankfully)


  • Posts: 2,874 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Its not a case of "buying it". They are constitutionally protected and as such can say whatever they want. The same situation applied to the Ku Klux Klan and a host of other wacky organisations in the US.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,698 ✭✭✭InFront


    Oh please, you honestly think if they wore head-scarves and jilbaabs and used an Arabic word for the God that hated America, and picketed US soldiers' funerals, that they'd still be constitutionally protected? People would be reading them the patriot act, not the first amendment. (Rightly so, in this case)
