Protestors thank God for 9/11.

OK...if these freaks were liberals, all of talk radio as well as fox news would be screeching at the top of their lungs that it is time for the democratic party to dis-avow these people. How about a little bit of shrieking of our own about these right wing freeper whackos?

1. These people are of the whacked out belief

that since 9/11 happened in NYC most of the victims were gay.

[prodigal_green]

2. No, they are

Republicans.

Repeat after me...Republicans.

The right slaps the term Democrat on any wacko leftist or anarchist or cultist. Time to play the same game.

They say what the Republicans only think or discuss amongst themselves.

5. Sorry to break it to you

but Phelps is a registered Dem. Not active in the party though, thank God.

3. Shirley Phelps-Roper...the person with the 9/11 sign.

Shirley Phelps-Roper held a bright neon painted sign that read "Thank God for 9-11" and claimed it was her duty to come to Cleveland.

"You've got a bunch of lying false prophets that are running the churches around here and being paid to tell people that God loves them," Roper said.

She's the right-wing extremist spawn of a right-wing extremist...

Shirley Phelps-Roper, of Topeka, in a telephone interview Monday, told the story of her father, now 75, and what set him on the path that would make him one of America's most virulent foes of homosexuality.

Signs stating "God hates fags," "Thank God for Sept. 11" and "Turn or burn" have become a hallmark of his followers' demonstrations. Phelps, who for a time was a lawyer, has since been disbarred. His daughter said 11 of his 13 children have attended law school.

The Web site for Westboro Baptist Church has an online memorial devoted to Matthew Shepard, a gay Wyoming man who was brutally beaten to death in 1998. Phelps' group protested at Shepard's funeral, and the online memorial keeps count of the days - 2,241 as of Monday - since his death and descent "into hell."

and...

New Paltz – They stood on opposite sides of Main Street, four narrow lanes and a million miles apart from each other.
On one side, nine strangers, related by blood, marriage and impermeable belief, shouted unholy accusations to people who stood in a cold, misty rain across the street from the New Paltz United Methodist Church.
"God hates fags!"
"God hates America!"
"You're degenerate filth!"
The Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., had just begun the first of eight hate-fueled protests in what they see as godless New Paltz.
Across Main Street, scores of locals, a mix of friends, acquaintances, strangers and news people stood in quiet astonishment as the sons and daughters and grandchildren of Pastor Fred Phelps sang their songs of hate and spoke their words of apocalyptic prophecy.
The stunned silence from that side of the street didn't last long. As Shirley Phelps-Roper began singing "God Hates America," the crowd picked up the tune and the cue, returning lyric fire by singing the original lyrics of "God Bless America." It was a pattern that held throughout the morninglong protests.

A real piece of work, that one.
One of the other "humans" quoted in the OP's article, Katherine Hockenbarger, is another nut-job from Fred Phelps' "church" in Kansas who showed up in Massachusetts to be assholes.

But at least one justice of the peace applied for that job in order to be able to solemnize gay marriages. J. Mary Sorrell, 43, of Amherst, became a justice of the peace in February and planned to be at the city clerk's office in Northampton, a gay-friendly college town, at 5 a.m. Monday, so that the expected crush of same-sex couples know she is available to marry them.

"I am a lesbian and I wanted to make sure that there was a visible member of our community who was not merely willing to solemnize same sex marriages, but who was excited as a member of the tribe," Ms. Sorrell said.

Across the street from Cambridge City Hall on Sunday night were a dozen or so opponents of gay marriage led by a Kansas minister, the Rev. Fred Phelps, and holding signs, some with slurs against homosexuals.

"Two men and two women marrying each other is a passport to hell" said Katherine Hockenbarger from Topeka, Kan., who was standing on an American flag.

Just google either name...they're both sick f***s.

4. Hate is the key to the Conservative mantra.

[FreedomAngel82]

10. Really sick

And here I thought God was about peace, love and happiness?

6. At this protest last April

There were 9 of them and 500 counter protesters.

Can we send these guys to New York to live now? We are tired of them here in Kansas and it looks like you New Yorkers do a better job of shouting them down.

[prodigal_green]

7. they'd go crying back to their mamas

the minute they step off the bus.

I would LOVE to see them wave that 9/11 sign anywhere within the tri-state/metropolitan area. Left, Right or Center, we'd kick the living shit out of them in a hummingbird's heartbeat.

[FreedomAngel82]

11. Right

If they were in NYC ooh I bet they'd get their asses kicked!

[erpowers]

8. Will They Get the Ward Churchill Treatment

Will they be criticized as much as Ward Churchill? Will they be called unpatriotic and unamerican? Will Republicans call for them to lose their jobs? Will these people be called disgraces to the states they live in? I think saying things like this is worst than saying that the people in the buildings were not innocent. That is what gets me about the Republicans, they make a fuse when liberals say something and then when their people say something much worse they do not care.

[FreedomAngel82]

12. Maybe

people should get the word out in NYC and they can demand an apology from these sick people.

[FreedomAngel82]

9. It's so disgusting

When Ward Churchill said what he did they were ALL over this and demanded an apology but ooh because these people are good Christian republicans nobody hears about it. :argh: I'm sick of this bullcrap!!!
