woman needs to be muzzled. you can hear the fear behind her words.

While I do not agree with Ms. Phelps' views (check out my comment history, you'll see I'm a big supporter of gay rights), I do support her right to speak out about them. Restricting her freedom of speech should be disgusting to everyone, I don't care what she's saying.

I await the myriad downvotes (for this comment) with great sadness.

We should send the entire Westboro Bapist community on a special first-class trip to meet Jesus. They would appreciate it, as well as many others.

Wow, she is just raging all over the place. It just wild to watch her.

She has her freedom of speech, but she doesn't get to say what she wants without fear of retaliation. This group thinks that they have divine authority to do and say what they want, so I at least like to see their feathers get ruffled a bit.

Yeah, that's perfectly fine. You should expect a little retaliation if you spout offensive stuff like that. So long as it's verbal/legal retaliation.

Perhaps thats where we differ in opinion. I wholeheartedly support harmless albeit illegal responses to perfectly legal but extremely harmful rhetoric.

Skip all of the babbling and jump to 8:45 for the money shot. LOL.

The Lord prefers dumbs

Teachers of rebellion get their asses kicked--maybe even crucified.

I did like the fact that the Anonymous dude slipped in a fancy "over 9000" reference.

Isn't illegal action implying harm? What exactly are you suggesting?

Is J-walking with no cars in sight harmful? is drawing a smiley face on a dollar bill harmful? Was oral sex any more harmful prior to 2003 than it is now? If you think that legality is a perfect measure of harm, I wonder what exactly you are suggesting?

So you are saying you want to draw smiley faces on her then, or are you just creating a straw man to not answer the question?

I'm implying that legality is not a perfect measure of harm. My point here is that the thing which is illegal in this situation is minimally harmful, and that the perfectly legal action taken in this situation (that is, the Westboro Baptist Church expressing their views) is quite harmful.
In response to your statement that illegal action implied harm, I stated other examples of instances in which the legality of an action did not reflect the harm it created. Sorry if that was not obvious to you.

that bitch is batshit insane.
they have no 1st amendment rights when they spread hate.

somebody should play a really good prank on that cult so they would already drink their coolaid and die out.

"With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil—that takes religion."

She seems like a nice lady. Damn shame.

I smile constantly to hide my frustration, ignorance, and insecurity.

We really should stop giving these idiots attention.

Godspeed, anon. Wipe the terrifying, soul-less grin of her face, for the sake of my sanity.

I don't know, I think Anonymous is giving the WBC entirely too much credit by calling them trolls. Yes, they do want to make other people rage, but their motives are not the same. They don't do it for the lulz, and they're not insincere. I think they enjoy living their lives in a perpetual rage spiral which can only be sustained by sucking other people in. It also makes them a poor target for trolling because they ALWAYS MAD.
