Scumbags at Westboro Baptist Church

This is the same group that protests at military funerals.

The leader claims that the shooter in AZ was sent to avenge the Nation's sins. The group plans to protest at the funerals of all killed in the attack including the 9 year old girl. He actually went as far as to thank God for the killer.

His God and mine are not the same. This is the type of person who should not own a gun.

Still my favorite quote:

I wouldn't be terribly disappointed if their van were in a one vehicle crash where it rolled into a ditch and exploded.

Like I've said before with these folks, they are publicity whores. They will do anything for attention, and you are giving them exactly what they want.

My suggestion would be to delete the thread. If they were to come across this they would be smiling. They want to be talked about and hated.

These Westboro Baptist people are hard to figure out. Are they making money off all their foolishness?

They are not a "Christian Group". Anyone can claim the name "Baptists". The church I attend dropped the word Baptist out of it's registered name because of groups like this. This is a group of born again trouble makers - they are pathetic!

From what I've seen over the years, I'm a firm believer that the old saying "what goes around, comes around" has a way of coming to pass with surprising regularity.

Sooner or later, these scumbags will learn the truth of another old saying - "payback is a b###h".

Groups like these are a small price to pay for the freedoms we enjoy. I prefer to simply ignore them.

Well, hopefully there will always be more sane people with guns than nuts. I'm on the Everybody-ought-to-be-armed side of this debate. The people who do bad things with guns will never lack for them, whether they are legal or illegal. Good folks should always have access to weapons.

Ah, that's usually the most telling issue, isn't it? Like Deep Throat told Woodward and Bernstein, "Follow the money." That usually makes everythng else pretty clear.
