Westboro Baptist To Picket Elizabeth Edwards Funeral

[Voyager]

(CNN) - Members of the Westboro Baptist Church announced Thursday plans to picket Saturday's funeral for Elizabeth Edwards in Raleigh, North Carolina.



The Kansas-based Church - monitored by anti-hate groups such as the Anti-Defamation league and the Southern Poverty Law Center - is known for its extremist opposition to homosexuals, Jews and other groups.

The church members also oppose the War in Iraq.

According to the church's website, members will hold a protest from 12:15 p.m. to 1 p.m.

Edwards, the estranged wife of presidential candidate John Edwards, died Tuesday after a six-year battle with breast cancer.

I believe Fred Phelps is gay. But his religious parents taught him that being gay is evil, so he hates himself and all the other gays.

This is similar to the way Hitler was raised to hate Jews... and then he found out he was a Jew himself.

There is a lot of self-hatred in the heart of Fred Phelps, just as there was in Hitler.

I honestly don't think it has anything to do with being gay. That's just a fallback argument when someone displays as much hatred as this guy and his nutty family of cultists do.

Some one needs to assasinate that waste of skin.

The trouble with these guys is that they are actually a family of lawyers, so they know exactly where to draw the line with their reprehensible conduct to stay within the law. Then, they can turn around and sue you if you try and (understandably) do anything to them out of rage at their actions.

Not if they're dead.

They fund their whole church and everything they do on lawsuit brought against people who aattck them, try and deny they the right to protest etc...Phelps and others of his ilk are the scum of the earth, the Christian equivalet of the islamofacists.

Maybe we will get lucky and someone will "accidently" plow into them with a semi-truck while they are protesting!? Take the whole lot of them out at once, then they can see first hand what God REALLY hates!

And therein lies the problem. If they don't get ANY publicity, they'll go away.

The same holds true for Palin. Unlike cancer, if you just ignored her, it would go away.

No matter what you think of Palin, to compare her to these Westboro whackjobs or cancer, for that matter, is completely disgusting.

The problem is that people SHOULD know about nuts like this. If no one paid any attention to it, that'd be a sad day as well. Besides that, these people are sick enough that I guarantee you they'd still do this stuff even if it was never in the paper, on TV, etc.

Palin is as much a hatemonger as Phelps. She just has speechwriters pretty up the verbiage for her.

Dude, your idiocy knows no bounds. Anyone on this board should be embarrassed to ever agree with you. I'm glad that it's not me.

Any other rational lefties want to come in here and stand with 7braincells with this comment?

Palin's just as much of a hatemonger as I am. That's why when I ask you to find my racist posts you run away like a little bitch, huh?

Is that why whenever Palin is off script (or TELEPROMPTER) she goes on hate filled rants? Have any proof of that? No?

Then shut your piehole, fool!!! You are a running joke here.

And you are right we just have to find away to get rid of the lot of them.

RWF, the proof of your racism lies in the context of your collective statements and the standards to which you hold Obama versus Fox' political progeny.

Turn off the cameras. Ignore them. They will do more deliberately stupid stunts. They are thriving on their own hate. They don't know God. They are no more than any hate group. So full of hatred there is nothing left of a soul inside. To come to terms with their hate, they would have to face the facts that they are committing one of the most rudimentary sins.

The greatest commandment. Love one another.

You cannot get around this. You can try, and you will be in a rude awakening.

Your to love your enemies...........do you see love in anything they do? Waste of film on these idiots. Waste of breath to mention them.

I live in the hometown of these people. You are a fucking idiot to compare her to them. Period.

Now Andrew, do us all a favor and close this thread. Rick is right. They deserve no publicity.

It's times like this that I wish there existed a real place called "Hell" for these people to burn.

There is and, unless they change their ways, they will.

Here you go 7 braincells.

The hatemonger/racist even had the nerve to take a hairstylist to do her hair while helping whatever white people she can find in Haiti!!!!

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin traveled to Haiti this weekend as a guest of the Rev. Franklin Graham and Samaritan’s Purse to spotlight the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the earthquake and cholera-stricken Caribbean (half an) island nation. Instead she has found herself embroiled in a scandal, accused of bringing a hair stylist on the trip to make herself look good for the cameras and “photo-ops.”.

The Associated Press transmitted a photo from Haiti of Palin captioned, “Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, center, has her hair done during a visit to a cholera treatment center set up by the NGO Samaritan’s Purse in Cabaret, Haiti, Saturday Dec. 11, 2010. Palin arrived Saturday in Haiti as part of a brief humanitarian mission. Dieu Nalio Chery / AP”
