Westboro Baptist is comin' to town

Wouldn't hurt to remind Shirley Phelps-Roper that addressing men about religious matters is verboten.

If she is wearing makeup it's even worse.

If you get the chance, ask if she is menstruating for the trifecta !!

Throw glitter on 'em. They would remind people of fairies!

I'd be hesitant to throw anything at them lest they claim you assaulted them. Remember, these assholes do it for the civil suit money.

Westboro is JUST LIKE the Presbyterians, the Seventh Day Adventists, the Catholics, the Baptists, just another bunch of fucking scripture cherry pickers.

They think they know better than god about which verses to ignore, and which to enforce.

ALL scripture is suitable . . .

[JesusHChrist]

According to a press release faxed to the [Portland newspaper Willamette Week] office, the Topeka-based ministry — known for picketing everything from the Holocaust Museum to the funeral of Ronnie James Dio — is planning to protest outside Moda Center this Saturday, Jan. 10. [...]

How could I not know about this? The bastards! Dio!

"The Portland Trail Blazers punched the Lord Jesus Christ in the face,"

I punch Lord Jesus in the face every day with my fornicatin', drinkin' and listenin' to ah the Devil's Music (Dio!), and do I get a WBC protest on the front lawn? Nope. Apparently, I'm the Last in Line.

[Jackalope]

I see what you did there.

[JesusHChrist]

Hmmm, haven't fact checked this, but it seems since the Trail Blazers "threw in their lot" with the fags back in 2013, they've got 80 wins and 35 losses; much better than their prior recent time period.

Perhaps, God loves fag loving basketball teams?

I'm sure he still hates figs though. Me too. Yuck.

When they came to Columbia, at first we were like 'let's counter-protest', then we were like 'let's ignore them'. A number of local pastors asked the media not to cover the WBC protest and they did not. I think that's the best way to handle them, if you can get the media to cooperate: keep the cameras off them.

So, I just found out Westboro Baptist Church is coming to town to protest at the Blazers-Magic game this Saturday.

According to a press release faxed to the [Portland newspaper Willamette Week] office, the Topeka-based ministry — known for picketing everything from the Holocaust Museum to the funeral of Ronnie James Dio — is planning to protest outside Moda Center this Saturday, Jan. 10. [...]

"The Portland Trail Blazers punched the Lord Jesus Christ in the face," reads the press release, which goes on to quote passages from the New Testament. "There was absolutely no reason for the Portland Trail Blazers to throw in their lot with the fags except to gratuitously kiss fag ass. The Portland Trail Blazers should REPENT and apologize to God."

Looks like Kitty and I have some point-and-laugh plans for this Saturday.

Duuuuude ... PICS.

[JesusHChrist]

Duuuuude ... PICS.

Yes! Please...

Yeah, I've been thinking about that. Having second thoughts about going.
