The Westboro Baptist Church, certified as an hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, spreads its message of anti-Americanism and anti-gay hate often by picketing the funerals of U.S. service members, LGBT people, and celebrities.
The “Church’s” picket schedule reads:
Woodbury Funeral Home in Woodbury, CT December 19, 2012 2:15 PM – 3:00 PM
WBC to picket the funeral of Sandy Hook Elementary School Principal Dawn Hochsprung.GOD WILL NOT HAVE FAG MARRIAGE!!
How many more of your children will you sacrifice to your filthy fag marriage?! You proved you hate your kids by making Connecticut one of the first states to institute fag marriage. You marry wives (divorce & remarriage) and give men in marriage (same-sex marriage), just as Christ said would happen just before the time that He returns in power and glory, taking vengeance on the disobedient (Luke 12; 2 Thes 1).
GOD WILL NOT HAVE FAG MARRIAGE!!
The blood of the Newtown dead is on the hands of every preacher, teacher, parent and leader of Connecticut.
GOD WILL NOT HAVE FAG MARRIAGE & YOU ALL CONTINUE TO BE SILENT ABOUT IT!!
The dead children of Sandy Hook Elementary are better off dead than to continue being raised for such great wrath and destruction as you have brought to this land. There is no hope for any child of this nation outside of Westboro Baptist Church. You have a duty to teach your children to fear God or else leave them to desolation, darkness and destruction.
GOD WILL NOT HAVE FAG MARRIAGE!! YOUR CHILDREN’S BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS!!
GOD HATES FAG MARRIAGE!
The Westboro Baptist Church, which as a religious organization is tax-exempt, has won a Supreme Court First Amendment case ensuring their legal right to picket funerals.
Anonymous, the Internet hacktivist collective who took the WBC’s websites down over the weekend, have promised a real-world wall of people to block WBC members from the funeral.
We aren’t trying to violate #WBC‘s civil rights. We’re just trying to make the best use of ours. And we’re non-violent. They hate that.

At what point will Christians finally demand that the Federal govt withdraw the status of WBC as a religious organization and require them to pay dearly in both funds and reputation for their hate mongering?
Water Canons.
If ever there was a prime example of too much inbreeding, WBC is it. But the saddest thing of all they have brought THEIR KIDS up to spew the hate like their parents. May question is, why hasn't Child Services not stepped in to remove the kids?
you know what… I think it has come to a point where this country has to take a HARD LOOK at itself and what it stands for. Is WBC really exercising their "rights" or are they instigating trouble? Are they adding anything "positive" to our national debate or psyche? As most of are for "free speech" – this goes BEYOND "free speech". I can't imagine many other countries "allowing" this group to "protest" or "demonstrate" unfettered the way the USA does. Does this make us "special" or the "laughing stock" of other civilized countries?! Hmmmmmm
Maggots in human form.
…And they said Jesus we done many thing in your name. And Jesus replied "get thee away from me. I never knew you."
I think what the Westboro Baptists do is horrible, but the same argument used to ban them from protesting could also be used to ban legitimate protests like the Occupy Wallstreet protests. What we need is for supporters of deceny to show up to counter protest the Westboro Baptists and show their support for the families and the state of Connecticut. We also need all Christian organizations and denominations to condemn the actions of the Westboros, regardless of their positions on homosexuality.
Where in Christianity is hate-mongering an involved practice? What are Fred Phelps and the WBC afraid of anyhow? Rainbows? Unicorns? A flaming pink queer apocalypse? I attempted to address this with a portrait of the good reverend on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/03/fred-p… Drop in and let me know what you think!
Fascinating in this day and age one of the signs held up claims a passage from Leviticus, "You shall eat your babies." If these pitiful brain-dead people want things strictly according to Leviticus, lay off those butterflied shrimp and throw away the razor. Also, if they would quit taking the bible literally and examine it for symbolism, one might say the recent child shootings is tantamount to eating our babies. Gun control now!
