westboro baptist church

Some black metal bands like to burn down churches, but this black metal band would rather piss on one.

The founder of the Westboro Baptist Church, Fred Phelps died last week at the age of 84. Considering the amount of anti-gay and anti-military protest Phelps and the church were known for, it was almost a shock to see to see an online article with the headline: “Westboro Asks Public Not to Picket Phelps Funeral”.

We've all heard the saying about the pot calling the kettle black. Well, apparently the people at Westboro Baptist Church haven't. In a recent flyer promoting a WBC protest, the church gang accuse Americans of being illiterate. The problem is that they misspelled the word "illiterate". Apparently, WBC hates spell check as well.

The Westboro Baptist Church may have finally met its match. And that match is only five-years-old.

The Westboro Baptist Church are no strangers to Casper.  Most Casperites remember the WBC from protesting the funeral service held for Matthew Shepard in 1998 in Casper.  The WBC has now targeted the Connecticut tragedy as their next protesting platform.  The internet has been reacting extensively and Casper residents are getting in on the discussion.

After it was announced that Westboro Baptist Church was planning to protest at funerals of the vicitms of the Sandy Hook School shooting, the hacker collective group Anonymous hacked into the Westboro website and confidential information about church members has been taken and posted across the web.

The Westboro Baptist Church, which is notorious for picketing the the funerals of U.S. military personnel and blaming the servicemen’s deaths on the United States’ acceptance of homosexuality, got a taste of its own medicine on Friday when the Foo Fighters staged a counter protest of the church’s picketing of the band’s show that night in Kansas City.
