The Westboro Baptist Church - Hate Group or?
The signs say "God Hates Fags" or "Adam and Eve - Not Adam and Steve!" and now they have turned their attention on Constance McMillen, the Etiwamba High School Senior who wanted to attend Prom with her girlfriend and was subsequently blackballed by parents and other students, being sent to a fake prom.
The Westboro Baptist Church is now planning to picket at Constance's High School Graduation. I am sitting here wondering if other people see the Westboro Church as a Hate Group, akin to the KKK? |
Yes, hate group. Southern Proverty Law Center (SPLC) has listed them under the "general hate" category (http://www.splcenter.org/node/105/activegroups -- see Kansas at the bottom)

I have no idea what to think about people so filled with hate. I have heard it is all one family?
Seriously, they seem to go way farther than other Hate groups to see publicity, which makes me think that you all are right and it is all about the publicity and nothing else. UGH. |

This is the part where I censor myself from making some comment about them being "inbred". :nailbitin: |

Yeah, sorry, I did hear that though? |
I don't know that I see them as being as dangerous as some other hate groups, though. Hurtful and grody, yes....but dangerous? I don't know. They don't go around under a cloak of secrecy like some groups do, and to my knowledge they've not (yet) been physically violent or broken the law outright.

I saw them in action at the funeral of a soldier. It was absolutely horrible what they said and did. The media, police officiers, even the members of the Church where the funeral service was being held came outside to protect the privacy of the family of the deceased soldier. He was just 18 yo. And his siblings were youngsters, as were his parents and grandparents (young not youngsters). All I can say is Thank God he chose to be buried at Arlington National Cemetary. That drive lost most of the WBC group. The WBC is nothing but pure hate. I am just surprised that nobody has assinated Rev. Fred Phelps yet. And he hatred is going to take generations to fix. |

I think if he were to get killed like that he would become a martyr and it would be worse. |
Ya know.. what gets me is where the hell these folks get all the money to travel and show their asses from??? I am surprised some secret squirrel queer IRS agent hasn't gone after them. We are everywhere ya know.. heh
More food for the removal of non-profit status from organized churches. Let their asses pay taxes on what they raise from their little charity plates before they fill up their tanks to go harass good people. |

I think his (Fred Phelp's) son is an attorney. I know that when they were in Fed. Court in Balto. City, it was a nightmare. Our tax dollars went to pay for protecting both them and the father who sued Phelp's and his church. I am glad to see he is taking the suit further on. |

I hope the Federal Government, the IRS in particular, take action and remove their Tax Except status pronto! |
The one issue I will never understand or even wrap my head around is when WBC claimed that we were to be blamed for 9/11. To me that is like saying Medusa is to be blamed for my hair to be brown. :harley: |
yes I think they are a hate group. |

It freaks me out that so many people actually do think we don't even deserve to be alive. |
