Politics: Anti-Fred Phelps people: This guy created your template

  • When the Westboro Baptist Church comes to town, follow this template. A few weeks ago, University of Illinois-Chicago student Jason Connell decided to take on the homophobic Kansas church diplomatically. Across the street from a WBC protest, he set up a spot to donate money to organizations the church opposes in the church’s name. The effect? It completely neuters their power. Clever. source

Culture: Michael Jackson’s funeral isn’t a media circus without Fred Phelps

  • WBC will be there to remind you to stop worshiping the dead. We will be there to tell you to Thank God for the death of this filthy, adulterous, idolatrous, gender-confused, nationality-confused, unthankful brute beast.
  • A message from the Westboro Baptist Church • Informing the citizens of the world that, yes, they’ll be making Michael Jackson’s funeral on Tuesday. Great. Wonder when the bearded lady and the trapeze artists are showing up. The WBC, of course, is famous for hating gay people and protesting soldiers funerals, because clearly, those are Christian things to do. • source
