Three members of the Westboro Baptist Church decided to picket Clark High School in Las Vegas this weekend because of… something involving God and fags we assume. Not only were they met by 60 counter-protesting students but also Dave Sirus of Brick Stone.
Sirus asked them about whether they support the reverse cowgirl position and whether rabbits really chew their cud like it says in the Bible. We especially love Sirus getting a WBC jock to admit that God makes people gay and that Michele Bachmann is “filthy.” Finally, something that gays and the WBC both agree on.

Thank you! I needed a good laugh this morning.

So a crazy woman who sings and a man with a seemingly low I.Q. are the people representing the church? Were they the best people they could find?

I am at a loss to understand how this hateful clan is even still alive when they cause so much deliberate anguish. I don’t care if they become martyrs, so long as they are gone martyrs.

can we stop talking about the Westboro Baptists? theyre not the real enemy, and here’s why.
1. there are fewer than 100 of them in total
2. they’re so batshit insane that they do our jobs for us
the WBC did not influence people into voting for prop 8. the WBC did not influence people into voting against similar marriage equality intiatiatives. the WBC has not influenced people into working to overturn Roe V Wade.
they’re so nutbag bugfuck crazy that they literally do our jobs for us. they’re not the real enemy. you wanna see the real enemy? you take a good look at the Latter Day Saints, at the Roman Catholic Church, at the Evangelicals and the Baptists. These are people who sell their hate with a bullshit sweet smile and a pandering simpleton mentality. they’re the real enemy, they’re the ones who inspire millions to vote against your rights to equality, they’re the ones raising money to fund inititiatives to strip you of your rights and deny you your freedoms.
every time we focus on the westboro baptists church we lose sight of who is REALLY holding us back – the apple-cheeked “Christians” of America who wrap their hatred in ribbon.

@Little Kiwi:
You’re correct. The WBC works for us because their extremism turns off other christians who might otherwise swallow the hate spewed by their own mullah’s. WBC gets some people who might be on the fence about equality to think and examine their own views. It’s a good thing, as Martha says.
Little Kiwi
word UP.
there are fewer than 100 Westboro Baptist Church members. They’re no threat. Worry about the millions of “other Christians” who are actually influencing policy and law.

Best for what? David Sirus was obviously trying to the the ones who would be best at making it unsafe to be holding a cup of hot coffee while watching that video!

Is it wrong that i think the guy in the blue shirt is kind of hot?
EK
@B: best people that the church could find to represent them.

@kylew: The kkk is still alive. Some groups just never go away.

Anyone else notice homosexual voice patterns and lisping from the westboro man in the long-sleeve blue shirt?

It’s the Church that is hateful of homosexuals. The people can go either way, and they’re generally about half and half enemies/allies. (Giant generalization there, but I don’t think any of them have more than 80% hate us. I mean, look at the Roman Catholics [at least their crazy is in the form of symbolic cannibalism].)
While I agree that the WBC only makes anti-equality nuts look dumb and turns of people, they really wouldn’t if they didn’t get media attention. So lavish them with it. I don’t care if they get what they want if I get what I want.
