We have now entered crazy land. Westboro Baptist Church vs Anonymous

[Guest123018-4]

The big question is why would anyone give them any recognition at all.
They do what they do for the sake of publicity and nothing more.

As far as "anonymous" goes, stand up and speak out and stop hiding behind the curtain.

Why give them any attention? Because this nation is full of douchebags who thrive on hate mongering and live in utter fear of that which they don't understand. Pissant bloggers speak to people desperately seeking justification for their fucked up social mores. A few on this board I might add.

In a nation where freedom of speech is a right guaranteed by the Constitution, it's odd that the right to ignore isn't.

Well it will be interesting to see how effective anonymous actually is. They put their name on the line with this one.

If they don't "destroy" this church, they will become irrelevant.

[WTF]

I might not like this church and their ignorant BS no more than I like LovingKayla and her ignorant BS. But it is their right to preach/believe their ignorant BS just like it is my right to make fun of these folks.

As much as it pains me to think their are people that ignorant in this country...I see people just as ignorant in this forum every day.

Maybe Munchie is too hung over to notice but at the bottom of the cut and paste are the words "Anti Republican Crusaders..." Seems that your heros have targeted the wrong people like the liberal campus who painted a sign on his car that he was against child sex trafficking. I didn't know anyone was for it except for NAMBLA and he had never heard of them. He said he was a democrat, a "proud" democrat is what he said. I pointed out that NAMBLA was part of the democratic party and did he catch any flack for fighting member of his own party. HIs head to started to spin and he started to mutter "input, need input" as he walked away.

JD, your use of insulting slurs has gone too far this time. Calling the WBC lawyers! That is unfair to WBC!

They are given attention for all the wrong reasons. They are given a voice for purpose of sensationalizing their views to garner ratings. The purpose of freedom of speech is to provoke debate on ideas, not to improve ratings. The media does not promote honest debate anymore. The "host" will interject to prevent opposing viewpoints from getting due diligence.

Let the fringe groups have their say, provoke a debate, debunk the lies, then move on with ignoring them at least until they can attempt a better argument.

Are you talking about WBC or Occupy?

[fetishfreak]

WBC

They are more than lawyers. They are very smart lawyers. How many could have taken a case to the Supreme Court and won?

They love to have people attack them physically while protesting. That is how they get their funding to do what they do. Provoke an assult and then sue the pants off the attacker.

The best way to to shut them down is to just ignore them, but the media can't stay away.

As far as Phelps being a Democrat, I don't think he shares too many of the same philosphies as the Democratic party.

[fetishfreak]

I think the Democratic party pretty much shares the philosophies of anyone willing to give them money.

Make more sense if you said "politians share the philosophies of anyone willing to give them money".

I would guess half have won.

I forgot to include JD along with LK.

JD said he was buying a farm and hunkering down waiting for the end times after Obama won the election.

JD, you sure you are not protesting at dead soldiers funerals with these WBC fools? Because that is how ignorant you sound with this NAMBLA bullshit.
