Protesters Face Down Anti-Gay Hate Group

Denver, CO - Caleb Howe and I were headed to PUMAPAC headquarters earlier today, when we spotted several members of Westboro Baptist Church, otherwise known as the Phelps Clan. The group's motto is "God Hates Fags," and they are infamous for demonstrating at the funerals of fallen soldiers.

The group has gotten a lot of attention from the funerals. They demonstrated at Corretta Scott King's funeral, as well, and my brother, Jesse, was a counter-protester there. A key feature of their demonstrations is to assure the aggreived that the deceased have gone to hell.

Caleb and I interviewed several of the members, including Jacob Phelps, the grandson of church leader Fred Phelps. For a group that relies solely on provocation to thrive, they certainly have an aversion to it themselves.

As we were about to leave, a group of about 20 or 30 young counter-protesters descended on the scene and formed a human shield between the Phelps' and the road. A heavy police presence was soon forming a perimeter around the area. Here is the story, through my eyes, and Caleb's.

The Westboro Cult is nothing but a band of brain washed attention whores.

Jacob needs to CRACK A BIBLE and educate himself about God.

He clearly has no idea what he's talking about and I think the WBC needs to seriously consider kicking him out unless he shapes up!

Here is the way youtube presents gay rallies, marches and parades ..

Can you imagine Pastor Martin Luther King Jr encourage freedom riders to strip to their undies, draw on clown facepaint and woot?  That's what you'll find on page after page on youtube.

Nelson Mandella, Susan B. Anthony, Mahatma Gandhi kept their dignity at great cost. It wasn't always easy to march in those shined dress shoes, with water-cannons and police dogs after them.

Youtube creates future generations of homophobes.
