When life gives you lemons A 5-year-old girl hoping to add a little sugar to the bitter Westboro Baptist Church set up a lemonade stand outside its front doors not to antagonize but to spread peace. What she got was harassment from its adult members calling her among names a "satanic liar" — as well as more than $16,000 raised from supporters across the U.S. "Jayden and I went out there to raise money for Planting Peace," her father, Jon Sink, told WBTV.
The purpose was to "spread love, to spread compassion," he said. But with her blond hair pulled back in pigtails, the pint-sized tot and her handmade sign were just 20 feet away from the group's front door.
Her father said Jayden doesn't understand the church's controversial messages that target homosexuals — including the relentless picketing of soldiers' funerals and horrific events like the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. She immediately wanted to spread joy and help out he said. The hate-spewing Bible thumpers are less than thrilled. "*WHO* let nasty f*** get hands on this poor child?" the group tweeted in response to her efforts for which they crudely blamed homosexuals.
"LOL it doesn't matter how 'cute' a satanic liar is! They are STILL a satanic liar" they wrote again.
Along with the online rants, the group posted on a sign outside their compound reading, "Lemonade won't cool any tongues" following one of their characteristically obscene messages.
Among the supporters was a soldier who stepped on the church's property to snap pictures of Jayden's stand. “There were profanities,” he said of the group’s reaction which he doesn't think Jayden witnessed. “A group of about 15 soldiers showed up and one of the members of the [church] called him a b*stard. Something along those lines.”

Where is the Church Lady when you need her?
So, two houses of satanic purpose that reside across the street from each other, and both thinking they are doing works of good.
So where are the government bureaucrats that are supposed to shut down lemonade stands?
The head honcho was an Algore delegate to a convention. He hasn’t changed, neither has the Algore.
Using a child as a prop in a cultural debate is not cute.
Good for her.
Hey, have McCain, Jeb Bush and a few others been training with Westboro Baptist Church?
They’re pretty good at hurling the insults, just made me wonder.
You know how there are some wars that you wish *both* sides could lose? Like Hitler vs Stalin? Well,I wish that both the WBC *and* the "pride house" could be completely destroyed by the same gas main explosion.
Between the two, I would prefer the Planting Peace House. They have yet to protests a soldiers funeral, etc.
I kinda want to see a tornado take out the WBC, sparing only Shirley Phelps, and have the Planting Peace house run over to offer it water, etc.
Their “church” is mostlyn (if not entirely) family members. A church like that will eventually die out.
I don’t think a 5 year-old needs to be near the crazies.

Exactly. Sounds like her father is a fool. Probably just looking for his 15 minutes.
I find it hard to believe that a 5-year-old came up with this idea on her own.
Thank you for your research.
As I said, the father of this little girl is a fool. Willing to bet, now, that he is also a sodomy-promoter.
And he's commie tree hugger as evidenced by their website, Planting Peace: Equality House. It's got all the liberal claptrap, quotes from MLK, sodomite rainbow colors, anti-bullying, rainforest junk and so forth. The little girl is being victimized and used by this outfit. There's actually little difference between "Equality House" and the Westboro goons. Both of the whole bunch are leftists.
Just a reminder the scumbags at Westboro are Democrats but you NEVER Hear that from the scumbags in the media.
While I tend to disagree with Equality House I am pro deworming of children in the developing world.
