    Talk about adding insult to injury. The WBC sounds more and more like the Nazi party everytime I hear about them. Good thing they’re not attracting new membership like they did though.

    Aren’t there 15 minutes up yet? Come on multiple rounds of lightning! Sorry that might be over the line but this group has gotten old and fast. This group really tests my views on Freedom of Speech.

      Sadly, someday, someone with a gun is probably gonna show up at their doorstep and start blowing them away. Wackos like this don’t seem to last long unbruised. I don’t want to see more violence, but this is a situation they’re creating for themselves.

    What should have been a sad/horrible is becoming more amusing by the minute. THe idiots, all of them, are in full force now and it’s just slightly entertaining to watch them all scream and shout.

      I have a picture that was taken outside the front of a church. Someone (might be WBC or some other “fag-hater”) had one of those “God Hates Fags” signs and some other guy stands next to him with a sign with an arrow pointing at the first guy and the sign says “F@#$ That Guy”

    RS- Please don’t give these people a moment of air time – they are sick.

    Mrs. Giffords is a public servent. I will honor her as such. And the dead and injured – God help them all.

    There’s always a bigger picture. Dem. – Rep.- we don’t see I to eye to eye on all the issues, but some info. I’ve seen reveals a woman who hasn’t just played politics and party line. – let’s look at a bigger picture and a woman of character…

    1.
    She said “Growing up, my family’s Jewish roots and tradition played an important role in shaping my values.
    http://www.jewishtucson.org/page.aspx?id=136353
    My grandfather, Akiba Hornstein, was the son of a Lithuanian rabbi. My grandfather changed his name to Giff Giffords for reasons of anti-Semitism and moved to Southern Arizona from New York more than a half century ago. In the 1940s, he founded my family’s tire and automotive business, El Campo Tire, which grew into a successful and thriving business for 50 years, which I ran for several years before serving in the Arizona Legislature.
    As a woman and as a Jew, I will always work to insure that the United States stands with Israel to jointly ensure our mutual safety, security, and prosperity.”

    Republican Leaders Endorse Gabrielle Giffords
    Tucson, Ariz. – At a press conference today, Republican leaders from across Southern Arizona endorsed Gabrielle Giffords’ reelection in Arizona’s 8th District. Today begins the week that early ballots are sent to voters.
    These Republican leaders praised Gabrielle’s commitment to putting Southern Arizona first, listening to all points of view and delivering quality results for our community.
    “As a lifelong Republican who served 8 years in the Arizona House, I support Gabrielle because…….

    Gun rights
    Giffords supports gun rights.[34] She opposed the Washington D.C. gun ban, signing an Amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Supreme Court to support its overturn. Wikipedia

    .”On a lighter note – Giffords attacked by Colbert or is it the other way around

    Sick. Twisted. Heartless!!!

    WBC YOU cast the first stone and claim you are without sin!!!

    Fear God’s judgement upon YOUR own souls!
    It is YOU who should fall to your knees and repent for the wickedness of your own HATEFUL hearts.

    Angels must be weeping for your children – in whose hands you’ve placed your signs.

    very unwise, , Jesus wept.

    I am a Christian but what these people are doing & saying is NOT a Christian act!! This is sick!! This is what I call a cult, not a Christian Church! It’s these kind of idiots that give Christians a bad name.

    • Aerialcat

      I am starting to think that that is their agenda; to discredit Christianity.

  • Disgusted

    Involving their children in this hateful activity…I say this is child abuse.

  • Proud American

    Personally I think that wbc should been seen as a terrorist group. With the display that they put on in Bethalto, that is what they are displaying. I mean honestly, how different are they really from the insurgents that act the same what in Iraq. Hell, for all we know, the gunman in AZ could have belonged to this SO CALLED church. They support the killings of our soldiers, congressmen/congresswomen, and now the death of a FEDERAL Judge, (may they rest in peace). They are so against the American Constitution but yet they hide behind the same. A bunch of hypocritical bastards whom have no sense what-so-ever of what being an AMERICAN is really about.

    I just feel sorry for the children of these sad, misguided, individuals. They will grow up “brainwashed” by their parents thinking what they’re doing is right. Reminds me of the KKK. Racism only exists when we pass it on to our children. God helps us all.

  • JohnA

    How the WBC twisted yesterday’s tragedy into some sort of retribution for transgressions they’ve experienced escapes me. What a bunch of hateful, self-righteous trash.

    And here is to a handful of rugged men thoroughly beating to a pulp any WBC members that dare show up and expound their tripe at the funeral of the little girl that was killed yesterday in Tucson.

        Melinda, don’t blame this on Obama…….the argument is the First Amendment…
        If Obama was to do anything, he would be accused of going against the constitution….you are an ass to blame the president..I suggest you read the arguments regarding these scum bags and the !st amendment…I understand your anger but please focus your anger on the correct people.

    Pray for them. In Acts Chpt 19, Paul speaks with a heart to the Ephesians because of their blindness. Pray for them and sternly stand against what they stand for by showing the love of Christ

      AMEN!

  • Wecdusa

    Those christians believe God hates “FAGS”. They even believe Sodom was destroyed for having so many “FAGS”. But, according to the Bible, they want us to believe they accept, the reason for Sodom’s destruction was the fact that there were not enough RIGHTEOUS human being there.

    Their Bible also says that “righteousness exalts a nation”. Those people have told me that they can’t be righteous. THEY, are a part of this nation’s UNRIGHTEOUS who keep the USA from being an exalted natin.

    give me a f’ng gun. I’ll kill Phelps’s entire family just for picketing a 9 year old girls funeral. The young are innocent until adolescence, which then they make their own decisions. God will send Phelps to burn in hell, in the innermost circle next to the devil himself. I pray that Phelps will endure an everlasting hell, from which he will never escape. he is the Judas Iscariot of our time.

  • Jbbillitable

    Bunch of pussys can’t just just admit they are self rightous hating bastards. They have to pretend God wants them to be that way. What a bunch a psychotic losers.

    i’m from the uk and the WBC have been banned from entering ANY part of the uk,
    also if the WBC was in the uk they would be arrested and charged for inciting hate crimes which have various surcharges and each charge can have between 1 year and life imprisonment per charge, so in short the WBC would be banged up for a looooong time.
    WBC is NOT a registered church and is NOT reconized anywhere in the world, they ARE how ever a reconized CULT.
    i dont care what skin colour you are, i dont care what sexual orintation you are you are all intitled to be who you are and what you are as it is your choice and people like the WBC picketing funerals for servicemen and servicewomen is just asking for trouble. but thw WBC saying that a 9 year old girl died for being a…(i cant type what i have seen and read what was said about an innocent child but you get the idea). i BET if it was one of there children they would be demanding police help (i bet the cops would say “how do you like it”)
    i have much more to say as the WBC just makes my blood boil

    My 8 year old brother was sitting next to while i read this,
    his first reaction-laugh
    “I went 10 and 3 last night that nothi-”
    I explained that it was NOT related to his favorite first person shooter video game.
    second reaction-furious
    He went on stopping frequently trying to find the right words. “Why do they like him? What… They don’t they don’t… I hate them.”
    third-hysterical
    He broke down saying things he was scared of. Scared of them. He was fully convinced the shooter was one of them.

    That was 3 weeks ago. Its been on my mind since… But just a few moments ago, he asked out of the blue, if they had done this more than once because on his way back from school he saw a man with an pro-life sign with dead babies on it. He was convinced that there were many of them. He was terrified.

awesome meter
