Westboro Baptist Church Plans to Protest Elizabeth Taylor's Funeral
 

You would think these people might have a shred of respect for those who have passed on :mad:
And I am sure it wont be long before they pull this crap on the wrong Family.... hopefully sooner tan later......:2 cents:

Those Fucking IDIOTS:mad:

They're real life trolls. If people didn't feed them, they'd surely go away.

I can't believe one of them hasn't been murdered yet. It will happen soon enough. Piss off the wrong people by disrespecting one of theirs, you're going to get beat.

They're a family of lawyers who know exactly what they can and can't say or do.

They do nothing illegal, and as much as we all hate what they have to say...this is still America, and they are and should be free to do so.

When it does I won't loose any sleep over it. At all.

Legality or illegality has never made something right or wrong. They are parasitic leeches that have brainwashed their congregation and exploited them to make money. The dad has done it his whole life.

They can preach their garbage all they want. Eventually they will push too far and someone will die. That funeral should be quite entertaining.

they should 'legally' protest a biker funeral sometime. Exercise their writes of free speech and shit.. hehe

Can't wait for Red State:

Red State tells the story of a group of kids who encounter a crazed preacher (based on Fred Phelps, founder of the Westboro Baptist Church) who gives a whole new meaning to the term “extreme fundamentalism”. The film stars John Goodman, Kevin Pollack, Kerry Bishe, Michael Parks, Kyle Gallner, Melissa Leo, Michael Angarano and Steven Root.

Their "congregation" is basically their entire family. I'm trying to find the video I saw the other day with two of them who'd defected and had a lot of insight into the group.

Give me a few more minutes and I'll see if I can turn it up. It's going to drive me crazy until I do.

Found it:



The guy talking is the son of the one daughter who's the public face of the organization.

Yeh I think it was the oldest son? I know that one or two of them has spoken out quite a bit. It would suck to be in that family, LOL.

That movie looks interesting.

I think they should just put live ammo in the 21 gun salute

Well, she did say "aids" on tv. She clearly crossed the line of decency.

sarcasm and all that.

freedom of speech ftw

Pretty sure people would not look very hard if that family went missing... just saying :)

From what the kids have to say, they're just a bunch of hypocrites who really don't practice what they preach.

It's all pretty much just an act to get attention. And attention brings in the $.

it's because her support to gays that they don't like.

It's just a matter of time :thumbsup

A-fucking-men.

This is still America, people have a right to protest. If you don't like it, move to fucking China.

Its only a matter of time before one of them gets fucked up.

We can all walk up to any congregation in any cemetary and berate the recently departed. But who would? A special kind of person. "special"

As if you idiots and losers saying that they should be killed are any better than they are. On a porn forum everyone should be championing free speech not being losers saying they should be killed because you don't like what they say. Free speech is more important than standing in solidarity with gays or with the military, free speech comes first and foremost.

And if free speech is not the point? What then?

Nobody in this thread said they should be killed. We said it would not be shocking.

I have the free speech to say that!

I couldn't agree more.

Ok, i'll keep the insults out of this one to make my point.


You have rights and liberties as do all of us. I have the right to go to murder trials, hang outside and yell at the victims families and call them fat losers and then tell them that their son/daughter/father/mother would have been alive if you loved them more... but I don't, not because the law tells me I can't, not because I would get my ass kicked but because I have a sense of decency that allows me to go through life without hurting others, especially the ones who are GRIEVING over a loved one. I don't require a law to be this way.

Free speech is a subjective idea anyway. I can't tell someone I'm going to kill them without getting charged. I can't say i'm going to do something to the government without getting arrested. There's already public decency laws in most states and provinces in place, so wouldn't be too difficult to draw something up that would protect things such as funerals.. would be the decent thing to do anyway.

It doesn't matter what you or I think is right or wrong or proper etiquette. They are totally within their rights as citizens of the USA. To the point that the Supreme Court actually BACKED THEM UP just a few weeks back.

Public decency laws don't supersede the US Constitution.

Do things work differently in Canada with regards to this sort of thing?

We (Americans) don't have to like or agree with what they say, but they most certainly should be allowed to express themselves. If one of them ends up dead as a result, they'll just have more fuel for their fire.

The only way to get rid of them, is to ignore them. They want attention and we give it to them.

Or even IMO particularly unfortunate :2 cents:

Written and directed by Kevin Smith! That makes it a must see reminiscent of Dogma.

I wonder if Jay and Silent Bob will make an appearance.

And I have a right to put a bullet in each their heads, it's just the penalty for doing it that I don't care for much..:2 cents:

i think that's the wrong message. if people start killing because they disagree. the only one that will like that is the funeral home. :2 cents: :helpme

Freedom of speech protects them from the police arresting them, Not from you punching them in the face.
The bill of rights are legal guidelines for you vs the government NOT you vs another citizen.
If a bereaved person choked one of them into a coma there is not a jury on Earth that would convict them of anything.
