Defending Westboro Baptist Church

This is for those who condemn the members of Westboro Baptist Church -- and especially for those who only started with their hatred after the WBC began picketing the funerals of soldiers who died in Iraq.

** Comments counseling or endorsing violence and other illegal acts will be removed, and so will comments containing non-public contact information for WBC members or anyone else. Spam and obvious trolling will not be tolerated. This policy is non-negotiable, so don't bother trying. **

MaskedLosah since you are defending Fred Phelps are you going to joined WBC's picketing of Militiary Funerals? What do you think of the Patriot Guard Riders? Since they are Anti-WBC.

@TBearM1776 - I'm defending WBC's free speech; that doesn't mean I agree with it. So no, I won't be picketing funerals. I think the PGRs are well within their rights to counter-protest WBC activities.

@Bifrons: They picket 40 times a week. Mean-spirited comments roll off their tongues as a matter of habit. You can choose to take it personally, and use your hurt feelings to justify trying to strip them of their legal right to free speech, assembly, and religious practice, or you can accept that putting up with their activities is part of the price everyone has to pay for freedom.

MaskedLosah=Vikum Quisling. to the liberals, to the Conservatives, to the Religous Right, to the Anti-War Left, To the New York Times you defend Westboro's sick acts i.e. picketing at military funerals and othe sick acts YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A QUSILING BASDARDS. THE VETS, LGBTS, VICTIMS OF 9/11 ETC WOULD NEVER FOGIVE NOR FORGET THIS QUISLING ACT

@cincyblows - My first instinct here is to not even answer your nonsense - but I'll try again, anyway: Did you actually watch the video through, or go to the website (where pro-gay organizations are listed prominently on the sidebar of every page)? My guess would be you didn't. How about you go do that before you criticize me for "hating" or mischaracterize what I've posted here as "applauding the WBC."

[cincyblows]

@MaskedLosah Oh, ok. So the only right answer is to hate people in the name of God, right? Since Jesus died on the cross for EVERYONE'S sins, how about you stop being so self-righteous? Or are you only applauding wbc because they (failingly) validate your own hate?

[MaskedLosah]

@cincyblows - I'm not complaining because people speak out; I'm complaining because it took them so damned long. The WBC has been picketing for 20 years, and for half that time, they confined their funeral protests to people who died from AIDS or to known homosexuals. It was only when they started picketing soldiers and other 'heroes' that a wide swath of hypocrites came out of the wood-work to whine about 'community decency standards.' (If it's not universal, then it's not a "standard.")

[cincyblows]

WBC certainly has free speech rights, but so do I. So do the Patriot Guard Riders. So does everyone else. Why, then, are you complaining about those of us who voice our dissent toward that so-called Christian church? Why the double-standard, MaskedLosah?
