Westboro klan call off Tuscon protest

| January 13, 2011

I guess radio personality Mike Gallagher offered the Westboro fags some air time on his show in return for their promise to cancel plans for protests at the funerals in Tuscon;

Phelps-Roper said the decision boiled down to the church being able to communicate its message with as wide an audience as possible. She said Gallagher’s radio audience is estimated to be about 10 million people.

Phelps-Roper’s oldest daughters, Megan Phelps-Roper and Rebekah Phelps-Roper, also will travel to New York and be at Gallagher’s studio.

Phelps-Roper said her daughters could be on the program, which can be heard at www.mikeonline.com.

“No question it’s a painful process,” Gallagher told the Associated Press of allowing Phelps-Roper on his show. “Believe me, I’m doing this show with a heavy heart. I don’t like the idea of giving them the satisfaction of this, but I believe my radio airwaves are less important than them hurting families.”

Thanks, Mike, we do appreciate the gesture. Of course, I wonder if the Phelps Klan will make it out of New York unscathed.

“I wonder if the Phelps Klan will make it out of New York unscathed.”,,, or “Unshaved”, as in Scalped, metaphorically speaking,of course. No bullseyes on their asses, no suggestions for what the Ny’ers can do to them…..

Real balls, of course, would be to have them on, then keep the mute button down any time they speak.

One correction. They haven’t called off their trip to Tucson, they’ve only called off their picket of the little girl’s funeral, they still intend to picket the judge’s funeral. Works in their favor thataway, there was expected to be hundreds counter demonstrating against them. By calling off their first protest they screw up a lot of other people’s ability to be there due to time already being taken off to attend the first funeral.

My apologies Jonn, as of last night two of our local stations were still reporting Phelps’ herd was going to picket John Rolls’ funeral. I see they’ve updated those stories since. 🙂

(sigh)…nothing wrong with the Phelps fags that a few .338 Lupua rounds wouldn’t cure. Oh, my, did I say something bad? Notice Joe, that I didn’t call for them to actually be shot, but that I certainly wouldn’t lose any sleep over their early and untimely demise.

But my original offer still stands. Keg party at Skeletor’s gravesite as soon as he gets planted.

Sparky,
1. Where can a person find .338 lapua in Full Silver Jacket?
2. I doubt you’d need .338, as .223 is easily capable of poking holes in those soft heads.
3. .50 BMG would, however, have a much better effect
4. For reals, I think it would be best if the whole greater Tuscon area Gay community showed up and showered the Phelps brood with love and affection–SF Style.

Mike Gallagher is going into the devils lair with the best of intentions. I hope he doesn’t end up with 3rd degree burns.
