Westboro Baptist Church To Picket Tony Snow's Funeral

[Mugu]

The Westboro Baptist Church and their vile leader, Fred Phelps, have planned a protest for the funeral of Tony Snow. How this group of hate-filled people can even remotely associate themselves with the word "Christian" is beyond me. If indeed there is a hell, surely the hottest portion is reserved for Phelps and his congregation.

Here is their Saturday news release:



From their web site:

"Christ Episcopal Church (Leper Colony) 118 N. Washington St. Tony Snow (Press Secretary for 6 "B" George W. Bush) is dead, YES! He had a platform, he was given some small talent by his creator. He was an unfaithful steward, and is now residing in hell. Each opportunity he had to faithfully Report what the servants at WBC had to tell this country/world, Tony Snow besmirched and vilified the words of God and the people of God. Thereby being a party to the crime of passing laws to make the preaching of the gospel to this adulterous and sinful generation = criminal activity. That is a very bad monkey!"

1. At last - something to make me take Tony Snow's side here.

On edit: deleting my second pithy comment for lack of reading the damn OP in the first place.

[Bob Dobbs]

6. I was thinking that at last, I was on Westboro's side.

Where's the russertian deification of snow? Tony is no less deserving.

[Ian David]

10. It really IS kind of a toss-up, isn't it? n/t

[Faygo Kid]

20. Not really. No Tony Snow fan here (Cheney's tool), but Phelps is too reprehensible.

Can't ever say "toss up" with Phelps unless Hitler strode into the room.

But I will admit this: Tony Snow did more harm as a Bush enabler than Phelps has done as a hate-filled nut.

[Ian David]

24. Exactly why it's a toss-up. n/t

[Pab Sungenis]

2. When is God going to finally smite that little waste of flesh?

[LiberalFighter]

19. You got it backwards. God wants Phelps alive so he suffers on the same planet as those he hates.

[PDJane]

3. This man is despicable............

and I can't figure out why he hasn't been jailed for hate speech.

[MindPilot]

8. Because as horrible as his speech is, it is still just speech

Please allow me to be the first to defend his right to say whatever hateful, homophobic, racist, shit he wants to.

Nobody, but nobody should be in jail for what they think or say--only for what they do.

[Lochloosa]

18. ....

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[RaleighNCDUer]

13. It's easy to understand him not be jailed yet.

What I don't get is how he's managed to not get shot.

[krispos42]

39. You and me both

240 million guns...

<sigh>

Anyway, this'll get your BP up:

[MicaelS]

44. Aww c'mon....

What person with any sense would want to risk going to jail for harming a POS like Phelps? :puke:

[krispos42]

50. The father of a slain soldier who's son had these shithead ruin his funeral

Especially if that slain soldier was your only son.

That's be my guess.


Or a squadmate of a fallen soldier who simply doesn't give a damn about being caught.

[MicaelS]

51. I guess you're right... n/t

[Zywiec]

4. Where will the DU contingent be assembling?

I'm sure they will be there pissing on the grave after he's buried...

:eyes:

[MrCoffee]

5. I wish Freddy boy would show up at a funeral I was attending...

I could make bail, no problem.

[johnfunk]

7. With any luck, Billo will show up and cold-cock one or two of the Westboro assholes

Now that'll make for some must-see TV -- not to mention a shot for Billo at Keith Olbermann's "Best Person In the Worlds."

[AnnieBW]

31. KO's head would explode

But he'd do it.

[Ian David]

9. Baptists Protest Snow

Now THAT would be a headline second only to "Old Man Yells at Cloud."

n/t

[Rob H.]

11. "6 "B" George W. Bush"

What does that even mean? :shrug:

[LostInAnomie]

30. I was wondering that myself

I'm going to say it means 6 Bong hits.

[GreenInNC]

12. I prefer Landover Baptist

http://www.landoverbaptist.org/

Be sure to catch the Betty Bowers column.

[johnfunk]

14. I bought this button from Landover Baptist

... and it makes a great gift!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

15. The biggest mass of saps ever congregated.

These people would protest as a popsicle stick as it floated down a culvert into a sewer grate.

RIP Tony, comfort to your loved ones and friends.

Your pain is at an end.

Never eye to eye, but oh what we have seen, departed soul and enemy mine no longer.

[Jack Rabbit]

16. Go awy, Freddie

Don't go away mad, just go away.

Phelps is the Fred Astaire of grave dancing.

[Coexist]

17. they're assholes.

[Stinky The Clown]

21. Talk about a dilemma ..........

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

22. LOL

[happydreams]

23. ROFLMAO!!!!

Irony doesn't get a better than this. Snow wasn't nasty enough for these loons.

Intentionally or otherwise they are giving people that don't know shit about what's going on the idea that Snow was a "moderate"; compared to Phelps he was!! :rofl:

[nxylas]

47. Whose funeral WOULDN'T they protest?

I mean, seriously. Can you imagine them saying "he/she was a good person and is now in heaven" about anyone? Anyone at all? Maybe members of Phelps' church/family (they're pretty much the same thing from what I understand) and that's it.

[happydreams]

52. No kidding. They call themselves the people of God....

which sounds alot like "The Party of God" (aka Hezbollah)

[grannylib]

25. I had no love of Tony Snow's politics, but was saddened by his death

as I am any time someone dies too young.
This is reprehensible.
What filth these people are, and how totally NOT Christian...not even freakin' remotely close.

[KamaAina]

26. zOMG! Westboro's ZIP code is 66604

that's right, boys and girls, 66604.

As if you needed any further proof whose side they're REALLY on. :tinfoilhat:

[Initech]

28. Bwa!!!!

"Let he who is with understanding reckon the number of the beast. For it is a human number. Its number is six hundred and sixty six." - Iron Maiden

[Initech]

27. OMG!!! Does that mean the looney tunes will picket Bush's funeral as well?

:rofl:

[jmowreader]

29. More than likely...

The problem with Phelps' klan picketing Bush's funeral is they won't be alone, and they'll have to go a LONG way to have the most vicious signs.

Compared to murderer, war criminal, and traitor, "fag enabler" doesn't really have the impact it once carried.

[JI7]

35. they picketed Reagan and Falwell also

[salguine]

32. If you want to feel better, go to YouTube and type in

"Westboro Gets their ass kicked". It'll take you two weeks and a crowbar to pry the grin off yer mug.

[Hugabear]

33. Funny, I thought they would applaud Tony Snow and the * administration

After all, they're sending thousands of Americans to their deaths in Iraq, which is something the sick fucks at the WBC applaud.

Guess they just don't like anyone.

[symbolman]

34. Looks like an exercise in futility

Considering none of these people appear to have souls, while in my book requires at least a smidge of Empathy, else what's the Point? They're lucky to be considered Human Beings, more like freaky mad scientist animals stirred in with human DNA who've escaped.. :)

Maybe their book doesn't say, "Judge Not, lest Ye be Judged Yourself.." and Something about if you've got a fucking Log in your Eye or Something...

Duds. Every last one of them...

[bumblebee1]

36. I wonder if the Westboro Baptist have reflections in the mirror?

That goes along with no souls, no brains and no conscience.

[symbolman]

37. Lol!

hadn't thought about that aspect... Must be a bitch to floss, let alone Protest floss right after :)

[crimsonblue]

38. am i evil

for chuckling just a little bit...... i'm totally going to hell...

[AllentownJake]

40. The only person that I can think of that Fred Phelps

comes close to in popular culture is Bobby Bouche's mother in the water boy.

[AllentownJake]

41. Finally Wikied this church

They only have 70 members 60 of which are directly related to Phelps :wtf: If you read an article listing any of their spokes people or interviewing a protester the person always has Phelps in their name.

Who the hell is funding this groups travel to all these funerals is what I want to know.

[comtec]

42. why, Why, WHY DO THESE ASSHOLES MAKE ME TAKE SNOW'S SIDE?!?!?!?!?!

but this is so far beyond disgraceful!!!
I admit, when I first say, "church boycotting snows funeral" I thought "Hmmm, maybe they are protesting the lies that got us into war, that has ended up in the death of MILLIONS of innocents civilians, that has BANKRUPT the US government, that has put TRILLION(S) of dollars in PRIVATE contractor company hands" but no... it's THIS group of assholes!

Oh dear sweet lord jesus, please save us from your fucked up fan clubs!!

[comtec]

43. Damn, I missed my evil post number!

I just noticed im at 668, which means I passed my devil number without note *crys*

[NewJeffCT]

45. and Fox will conveniently mention that Phelps is a registered Democrat

believe it or not.

[Alter Ego]

46. I hope a crowd of something like 100,000 strong show up to picket

when Fred finally joins his master in the eternal fires of Hell.

[MasonJar]

48. Just project ahead the Phelps' funeral some day. The streets will be

lined with crowds cheering him on to his just rewards in the burning pits of the Hell he envisions for others.

[noonwitch]

49. The best thing for those freaks is to ignore them

The best funeral for Fred Phelps would have no one lining the street and everybody continuing on with their daily lives as if nothing happened.
