Westboro Baptist Church protests outside Obama girls' school

Shouldn't they be protesting outside of the Cheney girl's school? Or are the Obama kids gay??? If so that's snooze to me.

Have fun dealing with them. They aren't allowed in the UK under the same laws that keep out known Islamic fundies.

Hurry up the space race so we can banish them to the moon.

These people have no life, lets send them all to Iran or Mongolia. Let them protest down there and see how long they'll last doing that crap!

It's like the cigarette company. Hook'm while they're young.

For those of you interested, this same group of patriots will be gathered outside the offices of the F.D.A., biting the heads off of live chickens in a show of solidarity for the coming Rapture. Get your tickets now!

they are awful.

holy shit, you gotta check out their website...these people are nuts

Disgusting, targeting Obama's Children. That's a new low but it seems like the right wing nutters don't care about civility or even borderline decency, seeing as they had pictures of Dachau at their anti-health care reform protest.

I think the secret service needs to get involved. They have a serious lack of respect. Funerals!? Not very godly if you ask me. Can't even wrap my head around why people care so much about what other people are.

They really gotta stop posting things like this. I lived in Topeka for a couple months. There just attention whores. In an interview I heard him say that he didn't care if people cursed or hated him, at least they were thinking about him, and his message. The best way to handle him is cutting him off from the media, boycott his outrageous(but legal) expressions of free speech.

I agree. Add no more comments to this page and post no more articles referencing these scum anymore!!! Who's with me?!

They're attention whores. Ignore them and they'll lose their power.

During the military funerals they protest near where I live, a group of bikers park in front of the wackos and rev their motors to hide them and their hate speech from the families. The biker clubs are very well organized. They're over the line, maybe they've gone too far this time, and we can be rid of them.

Yes these folks are freaks. For starters, God doesnt hate anyone.
To bad you all werent as pissed about the nasty comments made about Palins kids. Karma is a bitch man. And its for real.

These people came to protest at my school because our ROTC program is apperently to tolerant of gays. The students were outraged and we were all gonna show up to give them hell but the school wisely advised us to stay home and ignore them. Because of that it was just 5 angry crazy people so no media showed up and it was like the whole thing never happen.

How is saying, in writing from their website, "We're talking great power, and you Jews had better be very afraid," not a threat? Also, when you are in school, you are considered a "captive audience" which means Free Speech rights go out the door. Those a-holes shouldn't be allowed to be there. It does nothing for the "conversation" which is the point of free speech. This is hate speech and shouldn't be covered.

Terrorism.

Disgusting, stupid and unforgivable but not terrorism.

Disgusting people.

maybe they can be labeled a hate group under the hate crimes act...

Wonder what will happen when they show up at Ft Hood?

I don't car what you do or say about the father, but leave the kids alone. No matter what the idea, it is always drowned out by the sentence "In front of the kids' ..."

this makes me really upset.

As I am from Topeka, KS; I am very familiar with this group. I don't know why the national media still covers them, as this is how they make money and support their hatred.

Everybody in Topeka started ignoring them, and poof they disappeared. They don't geniuinely beleive in what they are doing, but just do it because it is their identity and job. They are all lawyers who know what lines cannot be crossed and will sue you if you do something that crosses it.

Personally I'm glad they exist though. I think they are the perfect show of hypocrisy in religion.

My favorite was seeing them protesting a Roman Catholic church with the sign, "fag church". Did they not do their research, or do they think the priest's hat is homosexual?
