The 6 Best Responses to Westboro Baptists Assholery
Standing across the street and yelling back is so unsatisfying and spitting in Fred Phelps’ mouth is tricky – so what are people around the country doing?
My favorite response was from the Comic-Con attendees. It was chock-a-block with geeky snarkitude including the awesome chant “What do we want?! GAY SEX!! When do we want it?! NOW!!”
I also like the McAlester, Oklahoma response, wherein the groups tires were slashed and nobody in town would sell them new ones.
Gunn High School in Palo Alto. had a kind of joyful sing off.
Alpha Delta Phi at the University of Chicago got their Diana Ross on.
This handsome guy, Jason, (no relation) held a fundraiser on the backs of a Westboro. He thanked Fred Phelps for all the help raising money for the Human Rights Campaign.
Whatever the community, signage is always awesome.
After going through these, I have to say that if the mission of the Westboro Baptist Church is to try and make people cool with homosexuality – they are doing a fantastic job.
It’d be funny if in like 20 years they turn out to be liberals. Sort of like the Insane Clown Possy just came out and said they were Evangelical’s….
I know you don’t know who they are…but your readers do
Violent Jay is my homeboy.
Posse, donviti, not Possy.
My vote is for a bullet.

They are a scam. It is a family of lawyers. They do this in hopes that towns will deny them so they can sue for civil rights violations. It worked well for a while and they won some pretty good awards.
The brilliance of their scam is that their law firm is their legal representation. So they make money even if they are only awarded costs. A little known tidbit about civil rights lawsuits. The government ends up footing the tab.
Which just happened in the one case.

Well, Fred Phelps himself was an Al Gore delegate in 1988 at the Democrat Convention…
MJ — so you favor murdering people for exercising their constitutional rights? You really are to the Left — the Stalinist Left.
