1. I have been to a funeral where they protested.

I wanted to kill them.

[porcinaalbastrucaine]

6. Why didn't you kill em?

You would have done the Nation and the World a great service.

[hrmjustin]

9. Police would not let us, but we tried!

[rustydog]

2. Cute, but actually, all you have to do is breathe then die

Westboro will find a way to be offended and picket your funeral.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. As an approach to living, that IS a good start. Not doing it

could have terrible consequences.

[FrodosPet]

3. Are we really sure they are what they appear to be?

I know there are some people who actually have those views, but sometimes it seems like Westboro is so over the top they are trying to satirize them.

[WinkyDink]

5. Uh.....no. They are not satirists.

[ck4829]

14. If so, they are really committed

A reporter once went undercover in the church, and what did they say when they thought the cameras were off? It wasn't "Oh boy, we got that media good.", it was exactly what they say normally. They have also been protesting events since the 90's. They aren't over the top, they are homophobes and bigots without the masks of politeness and the 'liberal' media trying to make them look acceptable.

16. At this point I'm pretty sure they only do what they do for money.

Also to feed their ego.

7. it is a badge of honor.

[LeftinOH]

8. Not being a member of the WBC is all it really takes. n/t

[Dont call me Shirley]

10. Or Rev Terry Jones wants to hang you in effigy.

12. +1,000,000!!! LOL!!!

[struggle4progress]

13. WBC will consider picketing any funeral that promises publicity:

it doesn't really matter much to them whose funeral it is or what the dearly-departed stood for

15. Exactomundo...
