The fundamentalist Westboro Baptist Church plans on picketing Ohio Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones funeral. Said WBC leader Fred Phelps: “We will be there at the funeral of this evil woman… This country stood by as she voted to criminalize the word of God!!… She is in a HELLA TROUBLE as her sentence is just beginning, you know.” Tubbs Jones, Ohio’s first black Congresswoman, was a fierce gay rights advocate.

Hey why do we care what the WBC cult does ignore them and they will go away like a droll at a gay bar

^^Easy enough in theory, but I doubt most can be so zen when they’re viciously impugning the memory of a loved one. I say we- well, those of us w/enough time and money on our hands- counterattack and picket their sh!tty church.
Alan down in Florida
Where does their money come from – they are even too extreme for most Fundies?

Someone please kill Fred Phelps – slowly and painfully.
I will pay for the legal defense.

It would be nice if the media stopped fueling the Westboro Baptist Church by constantly covering every unbelievably stupid, horrific thing they say and do. They are what – 100 people – 80 some odd percent of which are family – picketing? There are demonstrations ten times that size that don’t get covered once.

Holy Shit!!!! Does this church follow the teachings of the so called Messiah Jesus??? Because if they do they would know so well the verse in the Bible which states that “Do not judge others and God will not Judge you, For the same measures you use will be the same used on you”
Of all the evils in their so called churches, is that the biggest she has ever seen, I think that pastor or whatever they call her/him is a closset case.

I actually pity the phelps family and in my opinion, that’s worse than hating them.
Mr C
See if those Black folks wil put up with that!

Phelp’s KLAN say they are going lots of places the never show.
Watch his hateful daughters they are sue-happy lawyers.
I’d watch for their white van in route from KS to OH…..safe trip freddy, and I hope the wasting disease eating you alive is excrutiating beyond what opiums can relieve…and you LINGER for a decade wrything in agony.

WBC, they’re like most other prasites, useless, troublesome, can make you sick, and you just want to swat them. I buy Advantix plus from the vet for my dogs. Maybe big PHARMA can create something that will make WBC go away.

Where do they get their money? I can’t imagine Ohio will enjoy their protesting their congress woman.

Wow, he totally used the word “hella” incorrectly.
BigJim
Didn’t you know that in today’s USA, fundamentalist Christians are above the law and can just make up stuff, claiming it to be the inerrant word of God? These Westboro phreeks are living proof of why incest is illegal. LOL.

Knowing the bigotry and hatred those idiots stand represent, congressperson Jones would not be bothered by their presence and instead, consider it a reminder of her job well-done!
Doug
Geez Fred, when are you gonna die already!?
alan brickman
tasteless at least manitoba didnt let them in for that hoorible murder we experiened. Put them on mainstream media needs to show how horrible those bigots are really
I Heart Ryan Reynolds
Wow, Stephanie Tubbs Jones is one of the only politicians that I had any respect for at all. I’m not exaggerating when I say that she was a great person. Why’d it have to be her? If only Fred Phelps had had an aneurysm instead. Life is unfair.
Disgusted American

I’ve been searching WBC’s website for almost an hour, and everything there is absolutely bloody ridiculous. Every single biblical quote they post is used out of context, therefore losing it’s true meaning. Alas, the same with most Christian radicals.
Some people just need to suffer a slow, painful death…. There’s no way around it.
But no worries! They will get theirs. (I know, promises, promises….)

I’m going to start a new website called “God Hates Homophobes”

Unfortunately Drop Phelps and he becomes a martyr.
Dr. Martin Luther King wrote a letter from Birmingham City Jail back in 1963 about his struggles bring about equality and the sacrifices they would need to endure as a result of a nonviolent direct action program. I wonder how much longer till we are pushed hard enough to be a resistance program of our own design?
kel
as a lesbian and parent of a 2 year old, i am pretty outraged by the antics of these pathetic people!
I bet my daughter has a better life than the lot of you, she doesnt sing songs dictated to her criticing ppl and thier beliefs!
I hope no1 attends ur funerals and U DIE ALONE AND UNHAPPY

These folk are the evil ones. They are just as bad which exposes the gay agenda which is to kill and rape others for themselves.
