These freaks have family members who are lawyers, and if anyone (justifiably) goes after them at say, a GI's funeral, they sue them for assault, and they have countless lawsuits in which they've won cash awards...that's one way they make their traveling money...

I'm waiting/hoping for some ex-military sniper with PTSD to reach out and touch them, starting with the inbred patriarch of the family...

Westboro Baptist is elaborate hoax. These people are simply attention whores and nothing more. They play the part and have everyone fooled into thinking they're uber christians...They're not.

Do you think they act to discredit christianity or just in it for some weird thrill of provocation?

I saw some expose of them and they do completely support themselves from those nuisance lawsuits. Doesn't seem worth it though to go through all the public hatred.

Its all an act to show the hypocrisy of modern Christianity. Let's be realistic, the typical "Christian" is a false. part-time, take what I want from the bible, type of person. Westboro is showing what true Christianity is really like. They are pretending to be "True Christians" and the reaction they get from doing that tells the whole story.

I dunno, man. I see your point and the de facto result of their stupid little protests, but if it's all some kind of "learning tool" performance art, these fucking wierdos have really submerged themselves into it 24-7.

That's right. What started out as a goofy stunt has transformed into a monster. If you notice, they don't allow any interviews with anyone, because they fear being exposed. Whether it is performance art or not, it has exposed the christian world to it's own hypocrisy. Even the Catholics, the staunchest christians left in the world, have condemned Westboro for displaying the literal word of God. Westboro gives us all a glimpse of what it would be like living under a totalitarian religious control system (American Taliban).

IMO they haven't gone far enough. Let them keep going until they reach Iran...or maybe the moon.

American becoming "taken over" by religious zealots is a scare tool to rally voters to so-called progressive causes.

There are way too many different sects of christianity in America for anyone to ever agree on what what type of religious fascism would be practiced and there are way too many people independent of church, agnostic, athiest etc.

I'm a godless heathen myself, but I see the fear as way far overblown by media figures like Bill Maher who capitalize on people who don't like puritans or ex-catholics.

I wouldn't be surprised if the leader of this church wasn't a tool for the liberals. It seems all to convenient sometimes how they pop up at the right moment to discredit the right.

Nobody said anything about their freedom of speech just means of affording it. They can say what they want, when they want, where ever they want. Notice they only protest where they won't get their asses kicked. I have and always will be an equal opportunity offender.

Same thing here, you think any of these jokers would say what they do if they took the cloak of annominity away. Would any one here really say what they say, I doubt it. Fucking TROLL@ bailed out quick when Cary pulled a bluff by saying he was thinking of revealing his true identity. 98% would do they same thing, face it the only one with any balls is Greymoose1.
