Peace Rally - Westminster, MD - Friday, January 23, 2009

This was an interview recorded by a friend of mine during a discussion with Shirley Phelps-Roper and others of the Westboro Baptist Church. They were protesting the performance of The Laramie Project, a play abou the events surrounding the brutal beating and death of Matthew Shepard in October 1998 in Laramie, Wyoming.

My sincere gratitude and thanks go out the all of those that attended the rally and the organizers and those that were involved with the play at Carroll Community College. With determination and love in our hearts, we WILL continue to move this country forward.

The WBC are loyal servants of the True, Living God, and EVERYONE reading this knows it, deep in their heart. If you obey God He will bless you, if you disobey Him He will curse you. Put away your sin and obey your God. Praise God

I do not know what kind of drugs you are on, but clearly they are filled to the brim with hatred. These people are so far from God's word that they will be completely shocked on judgement day when they start to feel the heat of the lake of fire.

thou shall not lie? dun remember that in the 10 commandments....*piffle bull shit! what IS is the 10 commandments is....THOU SHALL NOT KILL! this group needs to get some clues regarding humanity and love! they even admitted believing they are the only ones that are correct. like i said....A CULT! karma will take them away, ha ha! lil do they know its THEIR pompous rightous souls are doomed and damned for HATE! to hell with them!

[CCProgressives]

Hate is a very strong word. Those who disagree with the WBC should embrace positive feelings toward them and just know that God will judge them as well...

[ChasingNever]

Thats right, you are gay! You are bi! All of you human beings have had thoughts about people of the same sex! Stop being a hypocrit about youself and learn, life isn't fair, There is no God. Fuck Jesus Christ! Obama is your God right now! Don't say uyour not protesting! You are so Fuck OFF!!!!

crack is wack

[ElectricMayhem87]

The Amish a self-righteous phonies? If that's not the pot calling the kettle black, I don't know what is.

[perniciouspoof]

You didn't even try to argue with them, He claimed that Matthew Shepard wasn't killed because he was a homosexual. Anyone that knows about the case knows that the Gay panic defense was used and what an offensive joke it was.

[perniciouspoof]

This has been done thousands of times by competent people who actually are knowledgeable about the issues they're debating. You've done nothing but make the rational minded side of the argument look ill informed and idealistic.

Kate Kolarik's comments in the end continued to discredit you even further, spewing nonsense without actually forming a viable argument with the Westboro morons.
