Westboro gang to picket funerals:

03/09/2008 2:15 PM - 3:00 PM Athens, GA First United Methodist Church 327 Lumpkin St. Funeral of Eve Carson

03/09/2008 4:45 PM - 5:30 PM Marietta, GA Temple Kol Emeth 1415 Old Canton Rd. Funeral of Lauren Burk

[peggybac]

For anyone interested in GA - I just got wind of this.

[cripplecreek]

These idiots don’t even need a reason to protest anymore. They just look for a chance that a TV camera might be near by.

[Non-Sequitur]

Y’all can keep them if you want. Lock them up in the Atlanta Zoo or a carnival freak show or something. We won’t mind, honest.

[Always Right]

Jesse Jackson on steroids publicity whores.

[Morgana]

why?

[cripplecreek]

Where’s a drunken illegal alien truck driver when you need one to swerve?

[Morgana]

[peggybac]

I don’t know why. I was on the Facebook page of one of the girls and the kids were talking about it. I went to Westboro’s sight and it is posted there. The kids are PI**ED so who knows what will happen when they come face to face with the Phelps gang.

[Grunthor]

Because unlike at servicemembers’ funerals, there will likely be no group of rough looking men and women on the back of Harley Davidson Motorcycles there to keep these vultures away from the grieving.

Why, oh why does no one stop these monsters?

[Morgana]

A riot I hope!

[Toadman]

In reality, their message is GOD HATES. I can’t remember the last time I’ve heard Christians use the Almighty in such a manner... wait a minute, there was another. Father Jim and Jonestown...

[nina0113]

The kids are PI**ED so who knows what will happen when they come face to face with the Phelps gang.

I just hope they're under 18 so they can get their assault records expunged. Right NOW a conviction for beating the crap out of one (or more) of those weasels protesting at a sister's funeral would almost be a badge of honor. Twenty years from now, no one's going to believe the Westboro "Church" even existed, so the conviction would be a lot harder to explain.

[Morgana]

Well there is always the Frat brothers.

[Grunthor]

Oh to be on THAT jury.

[SandRat]

[Hildy]

This Eve Carson murder has really shaken me. This is the kind of thing that you ask about God..I know... I know...but sometimes you just look up and sigh.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

That is hilarious!

[2dogjoe]

Why, is the same thing I thought.

[doc1019]

Mayhap they are just protesting death, and their fear thereof (subconsciously knowing the consequences of their blatant disregard for God’s Word as a church?) ;-)

[seanrobins]

Jesse Jackson on steroids publicity whores. My mistake. I though Jesse Jackson WAS from the Westboro Baptist Church. Ooppps.

[Levante]

I love your sentiment!

[Clintonfatigued]

Phelps and Company seem to be trying to see how they can top their previous stunt. What next? Picketing funerals of children?

Also, since none of those cretins seems to be employed, who is paying their bills?

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yes, the Eve Carson murder is so horrendous, so senseless, so distressing.

I wish the funeral were to be in Chapel Hill and I could find a way to be over there to have some words with these demonic Westboro sickos.....maybe bring some big sheets and find a way to shield their “protest” from the mourners.

Hopefully those in Georgia who get wind of this will come up with some creative and effective actions to shut these idiots down. or we could hope that the Police could find a reason to arrest them and cart them away!

[cripplecreek]

In reality, their message is GOD HATES.

Well apparently God doesn't hate inbred morons or the Phelps klan wouldn't be around.

[clamper1797]

Some day someone without a dime to lose is going to beat the dog shitte out of these idiots ... and no one is going to care

[Anti-Bubba182]

I have wondered why somebody has not hurt them yet. Another rotten thing is that they take their litte kids with them.

[whipitgood]

The little kids are their human shields.

[Old Student]

“Why, oh why does no one stop these monsters?”

Do I hear echoes of “Who will rid me of this troublesome priest?”

They have the right to protest. We have the right to counter-protest. Hopefully, there will be a bunch of people out there scaring the tripes out of these folks. They need it.

[Cecily]

Athens and Marietta? CALLING ALL GEORGIA GOOD OLE BOYS! A group of Phreaks need to be taught some manners.

[darkangel82]

They’re lawyers, although Fred was disbarred years ago. They make a living by suing everyone.

[indylindy]

Maybe ALgore could step in and ask his past supporters, the Phelps, to cut this crap out.

[A knight without armor]

I did not know they had this site. I’m speechless...

[darkangel82]

Maybe I’m not the one to say this, but these people are not Christians.

[magslinger]

Jury nullification is a beautiful thing.

[peggybac]

Yeah, their site is pretty bad.

[Non-Sequitur]

Why, oh why does no one stop these monsters?

Because unfortunately Nietzshe was right when he warned, "He who fights with monsters must take care lest he in turn becomes a monster." We don't stoop to their level.

[silverleaf]

Oh My God.
What twisted sickos.

[Non-Sequitur]

Mayhap they are just protesting death, and their fear thereof (subconsciously knowing the consequences of their blatant disregard for God’s Word as a church?)

Mayhap they will also flap their arms and fly from Topeka to Georgia thus saving airfare. But I don't think so.

[Grunthor]

“We don’t stoop to their level.”

I was saying nothing of “their level” I was talking about taking it to a level that these ass-hats are not physically prepared for.

[Non-Sequitur]

Where’s a drunken illegal alien truck driver when you need one to swerve?

Just another one of those jobs that Americans won't do?

[doc1019]

Wish they would do a fly over … shotguns are great for downing flying things.

[peggybac]

One of the posters on Lauren Burk’s Facebook page has a father who is a Patriot Guard so I have a feeling they’ll be showing up at both funerals, though, I haven’t seen anything posted yet on the PG site.

[fatima]

Could curse.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

My thoughts exactly. If anyone has ever deserved a good old Georgia a— whipping, it’s these freaks. In front of their kids may be good beause it may deter them from turning into their parents.

[Non-Sequitur]

Wish they would do a fly over … shotguns are great for downing flying things.

Remember they're from Kansas. You can recognize them because they're brown and furry and have long tails, with little red coats and little round caps on, and respond to the command, "Fly, my pretty!"

[truth_seeker]

Do the people with Westboro bring their own bodyguards?

Do the bodyguards and/or police protect them 24/7?

Are their residences and workplaces publicly known, or could they be?

Certainly has been a lot of restraint, up until about now.

One wonders how long that will remain so.

[doc1019]

ROFL! Thanks I needed that! ;-)

[MuttTheHoople]

True they sue everyone. However, the last time they had guys protesting, some of the crowd beat the crap out of them, and the police couldn't get anyone to admit to anything.

Since then, they just send out women and children with the nasty signs. NOt surprised to see Fred Phelps was from Meridian, MS and graduated Meridian High.

[Marysecretary]

Most of them are lawyers.

[Marysecretary]

They sure aren’t.
