The brooding beasts of Westboro Baptist Church bring make vile ideology tone deaf in their rousing track, “God Hates The World:” their pessimistic take on “We Are The World”.
Why does God hate the world? Well, lots of reasons, not least of all that people follow the “fag beasts”.
That’s us – and, of course, Petulant Rumblings, which gave us the heads up.

Why even give them a platform?
Still, it’s a shame there wasn’t a major gas leak in their basement while they were recording this nonsense.

Hmmm…and here I thought that their god was a forgiving one, guess I was told wrong. Oh well, I guess that makes me a very proud sinner.
Tim
Wow. So this is a real video? Then I feel sorry for all of them, to be so brainwashed by that theological drivel…especially that poor innocent little girl at the end-yes I watched it all the way through. This is the kind of craziness that leads to death threats for teddy bears named you know who

My intolerance for intolerant people is at an intolerantly high level now. I remember taunting them at my first gay pride parade….not worth the energy or the effort. Kharma police are preparing the warrants for this group before they get them.

Just when I thought they couldn’t get any more disturbing.
Tim, a while back there was a series of videos posted here, a British documentary on the church, and there were other little kids already being indoctrinated into their hateful ways. It’s sick, and scary that one man can spawn so many twisted people.

Good Lord. Wait, bad Lord. I love the Stevie Wonder impersonator. Classic.

Wow.
I am so glad they made this video.
I didn’t know I was going to eat my babies.
and I sure as hell didn’t know that God hates the world and that the siege is coming.
wasn’t it nice of them to tell us!
and through song!
how very nice!
Alacer
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! oh god. that just made my day.

I seriously just threw up I pray someone blows their asses the fuck up.

Dave: These people’s own words (and, sadly now, their music) do more harm to their cause than our censorship ever could.

I can’t wait for the dance re-mix.
Anyone notice the large bull-dyke looking woman dressed in a white man’s suit near the end of the video? Also, the men were singing in a higher register than the women. I’m just sayin’…I’m afraid those poor little kids in the video will be eaten.

This Westboro Baptist church say they hates the Gay-Community. But they also hate African-Americans, Canada, Sweden, the Fire Department of NY, victims of 911, other Christian Churches, The Pope, Judaism, America, Our American Troops, and the list goes on and on. Many of the groups they despise are specifically named on their hate propaganda, picket signs, and their many websites. They not only hate, but wish death on all that they abhor.
This sick, so called church spreads its hate through picketing in our streets, provoking attacks, with abusive vulgar language,and flag desecration, attempting to create a confrontation.
This is not about protesting, this is about a life of hate. They are not peaceful. They are not a “church”. They go after any thing that can get them in the news. This group will protest anything to get its face on TV or in the news. It is about an old man lost in the darkness of hate, but will put his grandchild in danger to save himself. They protest at the funerals of our troops. Do we have a real need to protest at any funeral? Is that a real Freedom?
The city of Topeka, the state of Kansas and the U.S. at large, its citizens and their Churches, schools and events are all held hostage by this “hate group” – always at the tax payer’s expense.

What bothered me (let’s toss aside all of that unwavering hate for a minute) is that these folks seem “happy”… I thought Christ taught compassion, and yet these folks are delighted when imagining the fiery deaths of everyone but their “stainless” selves. Incredibly sad.

Cam, the sad thing is, they’re not anti-black or anti-immigrant. It’s actually downright shocking but Fred Phelps was a civil rights lawyer and activist back in the day (!!!) and filed many different lawsuits on behalf of Blacks. Another bizarre fact; he voted for Al Gore. However, how he feels about us Black Fags is another story.
http://cjonline.com/webindepth/phelps/stories/080394_phelps17.shtml
“Phelps was considered a gifted and skilled trial lawyer, one of the best in eastern Kansas.
His prominent cases:
• One of Phelps’ most notable cases was won on behalf of Evelyn Rene Johnson, a black school girl who sued Topeka Unified School District 501, alleging she received an inferior education in Topeka schools.
In an out-of-court settlement, Johnson received $19,500 from the school board in U.S. District Court late in 1978. Johnson received $8,907 in a trust, and Phelps received the rest as fees. The case, which had been sealed by a federal judge at the request of the school board’s insurance company, became public in April 1979. Filed in 1973, the suit alleged the school hadn’t fully implemented mandates by the U.S. Supreme Court in Brown vs. Board of the Education of Topeka. Johnson, 10 when the case was filed, had been a student at Parkdale Elementary School.
• In August 1979, Phelps filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of Carla Michelle Miller, then 11 and a student at Lafayette Elementary School, charging that USD 501 discriminated against blacks and other minorities. Phelps filed the class-action suit in U.S. District Court.
Phelps contended economically disadvantaged black students were being forced to remain in predominantly black schools in an environment generating a feeling of “inferiority as to their status in the community, thus affecting their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone.”
The case was dismissed in U.S. District Court, and the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the dismissal.
• After police and sheriff’s deputies raided the Jordan-Patterson American Legion Post, 811 S.E. 15th, on June 28, 1979, Phelps filed suit, representing several clients.
Shawnee County sheriff’s deputies, aided by Topeka police officers, were seeking drug dealers when they raided the predominantly black club. About 20 people were arrested, including five for concealed weapons and two for marijuana possession. No felony convictions resulted from the raid.
During the raid, 50 to 60 female patrons were strip-searched. Customers in the club filed 20 lawsuits in state and federal courts alleging bar patrons were illegally strip-searched, detained, and treated in a threatening and abusive manner because they were black. At least two clients represented by Phelps’ family law firm received settlements of $8,000 from the city and county commissions before the suits were to go to trial.
Civil rights awards
Phelps won several honors for his work on civil rights cases.
In 1986, Phelps received two civil rights awards, the Omaha Mayor’s Special Recognition Award and an award by the Greater Kansas City Chapter of Blacks in Government.
In 1987, Phelps received an award from the Bonner Springs branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for his “undauntedness” and his “steely determination for justice during his tenure as a civil rights attorney.”

These people are the most unheard of thing I have ever heard of !!! They are all insane !!! I can only hope they protest at a soldiers funeral near me so I can wreak havoc on them… Going to jail for their sake would be a privelidge…Then at the end, enlisting a baby girl to profess their twisted message of hate, and all the other children who are being raised in this atmosphere of hatred,who really have no idea what it is exactly that they are professing allegance to, is almost too much to bear…Where the hell are all the child protectionists now ?? It is obvious, seeing the television special, that the old man is insane…Apparently, it is catching, as his daughter and the dude in charge of publications has been infected, as well…In the end,it is my belief we all have to make peace with our beliefs… I believe that there is a special place in hell for these people… Whenever a soldier falls in battle, we all grieve, all of us that are still sane, that is… It is their blood, and the blood of our forefathers, that have made freedom possible in our great country… When I lay my head down tonight, and realize that no foreign enemy will come lurking in the night, and wake fit in the morning, that I am thankful for our military and all the thankless hours they risk their lives for to make our way of life possible… Anyone who could desecrate that effort, and claim it to be under the direction of God, is a god damned liar…I may burn in hell, but I would much prefer it rather to have to spend eternity with even one of those Westboro cuurch idiots !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t believe my eyes… I’m sure this happens all over the world (in some backward community) however the American’s really do take the cake, so to speak.
I mean JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY… these people are seriously affected mud types. Why even give them a platform? I know I know… for OUR entertainment 🙂
I pray every night that these people just be released from their internal struggles. Yes, a gay that prays… Mostly I wish they would just FUCK OFF already and take a personal development class.
