Westboro fags chased from funeral in MO
I guess there’s an expiration date on what Americans will tolerate from the homophobic Westboro “Baptist” Church which has been protesting at the funerals of soldiers and Marines since 2005. Today, near Kansas City, a few hundred counter-protesters ran the Westboro protesters away from the funeral in Harrisonville, MO of Jacob Carver who killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. Reports KMBC;
There appeared to have been some shoving between some of the protesters and church members. Police were able to break it up. At one point, the van belonging to Westboro members was surrounded. But they were able to leave the area without any further confrontation.
It’s been reported that the Westboro congregation spends $200,000/year flying protesters around the country. I wonder if they’re beginning to think it’s worth it since that’s the third time they’ve been unable to spread their hate in as many weeks that I’ve heard about.
There’s video at the link filmed from a chopper.
Thanks to Marooned in Marin for the link.

As I’ve said before, it couldn’t happen to a more deserving group of assmunches…
Quite a few of my friends were there. I wish I could have gone, my wife won’t let me go to things like this. There is too high a risk of me getting arrested for setting one of thw WBC fags on fire.

Just warn me if you do so I can make sure to drain my bladder before you light them on fire…
WBC better figure out what “enough” is, before somebody puts something on ’em that soap and water and lawsuites won’t take off.
…homophobic Westboro “Baptist” Church…

I think describing them as “homophobic” (a completely ridiculous made-up word as it is) is not quite accurate. I don’t believe these nutjobs to have “an irrational fear of” homosexuals, but rather they have an irrational hate of homosexuals. I’m not sure if there is a word that encompasses “irrational hate of” _____ as -phobic encompasses “an irrational fear of” _____.
That aside, good on the people who protested these freaks. It’s high time the “silent majority” stopped putting up with this bullying from all loudmouth fringe groups out there. The way you stop bullying is to stand up to the bully.
One of these days, the WBC will run to their van only to find a smoldering pile where their van used to be.
Need to get a group together to picket and demonstrate WBC’s every move. At home, at their “church”, at the supermarket, every place they go. Turn the tables and make their lives a living hell.
“It’s been reported that the Westboro congregation spends $200,000/year flying protesters around the country.”
Um, TSA, this is one group of nimrods we DON’T mind hearing about being groped… Or if they don’t mind the naked scanners, how about turning up the radiation dosage, please?

How about body cavity searches too…
WBC “protests” at (mainly) funerals, highschools, and churches. See a pattern? Typical bullying behavior. They aren’t about to cause any trouble where they might actually GET INTO trouble. But they’ve forgotten something that is going to be a painful lesson to re-learn: if you kick even the gentlest dog long enough, eventually you are going to get bit.
And bit they will get.

It these people hate gays so much why don’t they protest at Gay Pride parades? Why at the funerals of the fallen? It doesn’t make the least bit of sense other than trying to get patriots to engage in their disgust with these people. They want to silence those that will not be silenced.
911 Patriot:
The principle reason that they protest is to get pushed or blocked. This will enable them to bring a lawsuit against the jurisdiction in question.
Most churches survive by “passing the plate”. This church is populated by inbreds, and that would mean that they’d just be passing the money around and not accumulating any.
If Gays really had any pride, they would protest the WBC. Like do a full blown Fulton Street Parade on Sunday morning in Topeka.
I just hope that whatever shoving happened, it didn’t start on the part of the counter-protesters. I don’t want to see good people get sued by these sad sorry excuses for Christians which allows them to continue with their despicable behavior.
Hi guys. Love the website. Two weeks ago, the WBC ‘threatened’ to protest the funeral of hero Spec. Dale Kridlo, late of Pittston, PA. Fortunately for the family and friends of Dale Kridlo, these miscreants did not show up and a grieving family did not have to endure these smears. Personally, I think that the WBC was afraid to show in that area. The word got out, hundreds showed up to block their access and residents were upset. You don’t go to that neck of the woods and taunt a local hero and get away with it, legs intact. As one local said, “They would never show up if Russell Buffalino were still alive.” And, just to let you know…the WBC does protest at gay pride parades. The protested the funerals of those West VA coal miners. Heck, they even protested the Comic Convention at San Diego this year. They’ll go anywhere for attention. Personally, while tremendously grateful that Dale Kridlo’s family was able to honor him without harassment, I would have cheered if some mafia muscle had beaten them seven ways to next Sunday. There is no one out there more in need of a hurt down then that inbred WBC Phelps clan. No one.
