Westboro baptists plan to protest at Ledgers Funeral

    jesus wept, apparently God killed Heath Ledger because of Gay cowboy role, Gyllenhall must be crapping himself.

    A controversial church described as a "hate group" has said it will protest at Heath Ledger's memorial service because he played a gay character in Brokeback Mountain.

    The Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church - which has previously said they wished a million people had been killed in the London terror attacks in 2005 - issued a statement saying the Australian actor was "now in hell".

    "WBC will picket this pervert's funeral, in religious protest," the group said.

    "God hates the sordid, tacky bucket of slime seasoned with vomit known as Brokeback Mountain and He hates all persons having anything whatsoever to do with it.

    "Heath Ledger is now in Hell, and has begun serving his eternal sentence there."

    The demonstrations will target memorial services held in the US, not those in Australia, according to church spokeswoman Shirley Phelps-Roper.

    "You cannot live in defiance of God," she told Fox News.

    "He got on that big screen with a big, fat message: God is a liar and it's okay to be gay."

    Ms Phelps-Roper, who described Ledger as "a fornicator", said the group will also be picketing the Oscars.

    The Westboro Baptist Church has been classified as a "hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Centre, which monitors extremist activity.

    It is the same church which Sky News investigated in 2005.

    They revealed to Sky's US correspondent Robert Nisbet their views on the London July,7, 2005 attacks.

    They also called the Roman Catholic church the biggest paedophile organisation in the world and were taken to court recently by a family whose funeral they picketed.

    Wouldn't be too upset if 'God' caused a few of those in the near future

    Who cares, these guys feed off media attention. Thats why they do this crap, so people get pissed off and talk about them.

    Ergo: Dont feed the trolls.

    why not just ignore them and stop repeatedly posting this story.

    Don't feed the trolls and all that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,739 ✭✭✭Jello


    They're ****ing sick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,793 ✭✭✭tritium


    Scumbags. Always the nutters who think they have a direct line to what God wants. Aren't these the same guys who had a go at Ireland a while back?

    Actually, I think they feed off their own self-righteousness, and once anyone is watching, and either applauding or booing, they're happy enough.

    I would hope, if it turns out there is a God, that it is these warped sickos who utilise religion for hate and hurt who end up in "hell" ... preferably with a double-size replica of Ledger's dick coated in Deep Heat and itching powder shoved up their arses so far they will never be able to expel it.

    I certainly don't believe in their manic God of anger, of hate, of bigotry and stupidity.

    I am tempted to believe in a God with a chronically warped sense of humour, given the oddities of humanity and the vagaries of life. I suspect that if such an uber-intelligent being or consciousness does exist, these people leave him wondering whether to laugh or to cry.

    Pricks. If they really believed in God they'd believe in compassion and love....gatecrashing his funeral is just going to upset his family and friends, where does God come in to that? Psychos.

    Intelligent input.:rolleyes:

    Hope they arrest these clowns before they get to the funeral. It'd be nice if "God" sent some plague or other on this shower. I think herpes, concentrated around the anus, would be appropriate.:p

    Why?

    Because its severely overrated ****e.


    I saw the documentary about them. One of the grandaughters was alright lookin.

    And had a nice rack.

    Goodnight.

    300 is a great film.

    I seen two documentaries on them, Louis Theroux and Keith Allen:

    1) The daugther was quite alright with a nice rack.
    2) Keith Allen had a nice little surprise and to see them defend it was funny indeed:
    The 'head' woman, blonde lady, had given birth to her son out of wedlock
    , which is against their religious beliefs.

    The Louis Theroux documentary was excellent. I didnt see the Keith Allen one due to my intense dislike for him. His best acting performance was when he played a corpse in Shallow Grave and he wasn't very good at that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Naos


    Yeah Louis is brilliant. He deserves a thread in his own right.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 658 ✭✭✭Crazy Christ


    This bunch of retards are looking for attention. Whoever made this thread has just added another result for when they google themselves. So they have won.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 562 ✭✭✭utick


    he casued it himself no sympathies


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    As much as I personally hate this bunch and everything they stand for, they are entitled to freedom of speech and the right to free assembly.

    I think it is disgusting that they protest at funerals, whether it is soldiers or actors, and use their religious beliefs as an excuse for their hatred, but they have the right to do it. Their right to do what they do is stated in the UN declaration of human rights. Not from a religious stand-point, but as a basic civil liberty.

    I hate what they do, but I defend their right to do it. I know this isn't gonna be the most popular point of view put across on this subject, but it's what I believe. Freedom of expression doesn't just apply to the people you agree with. The same freedom applies to evil bastards like these. Like I said, I don't agree with them, but I will defend their right to say what they believe.

    If you don't believe in the freedom of people you completely disagree with to voice their beliefs, then you don't believe in freedom at all.

    I haven't seen anybody here denying the fact that they have the right (and rightly so) to free speech.
