The mind boggles. These assholes are totally soul-less... and pretty damned creepy.
I'm a "neighbor" of Basso's just down the road in Sunnyvale. Our communities have been grieving and also working to find ways to avoid this kind of tragedy in the future. It infuriates me beyond measure that these ___________ (fill in your own favorite expletive) come to where people are suffering and do their damnedest to multiply the pain.

If I wanted to create an organization that would really drive Phelps-ish folk nuts -- just sort of float a fake website that would catch t heir attention & drive them nuts -- what would it have to encompass? What would it need to embrace or promote?

Is it possible to drive them nuts? I mean, can you give rabies to a rabid dog? Could anything send such people any further over the top.
I reckon the Ship would do pretty well, but I'm sure it is on the Phelpsian Index Diabolicus.

I really am not sure exactly what flips their Twinkie(tm).
I know just about anything even vaguely same-sex-related must bug them, since that much leaks out into secular news; I never hear about about anything but Caucasoid-looking people in amongst them, and they're supposed to be largely interrelated/all one family (?)... So surely there could be cultural/ethnic/racial buttons to push.
I was hoping someone who has already lost his/her Phelps-virginity would offer me some suggestions. That way, I could avoid actually sullying my eyeballs with their website. Y'know, someone who's already stepped forward into the breech...

The sad thing is that any attention that is not a complete and utter bow to their ideology (or insanity....I think ideologies have some sort of quasi-logic); anyway, anything short of actually joining them and parroting back their filthy bile is seen as an attack and a reason for counter-attack.
That's why the folks in my city (the school being picketted, the media, etc) decided to simply ignore them.
That doesn't mean that they didn't have a chance to enjoy a bit of self-pleasuring in the act of being themselves without an audience, but at least we didn't have a part in escalating it.

I'm glad you found out about this Josephine and thanks for posting. It's been mentioned here before, but this thread is so long that it needs to be on each page, IMO.
And the more the word gets passed IRL, the better. Some of that hate needs to be changed into contributions for charities devoted to the very things the Phelps clan has their knickers in a twist about.

This from earlier in the thread (page 2). How weird a factoid is that? Much bafflement (assuming it's true, of course. Anyone know of any verification of this?).

As to Basso's story, I know I really shouldn't be amazed by the depths the Phelps lot will dig to, but I am. Cunts.

God's been hating Jews for at least 1500 years (if you ask the right (i.e. wrong) people). That's not new. It's unbiblical, yes, but not new.

I can only imagine how painful these people’s lives must be to be filled daily with so much hate. How fearful they must feel if this is their understanding of who God is and how he views us.
It really makes we wonder how Daddy Phelps started down this road of hate, but alas he was not covered in psychology 101. I should have taken that second class in deviant behaviors.

It would bother them if you completely and utterly ignored them.
No, seriously. Any attention you give them, positive or negative, at their protests, stokes their little egos.
I think the best response ever, though, and I've spent the last 13 years vaugely following them in the news after my own personal encounter with the crew, is the one I linked above with the mass grouping of other signs, because they and their hate got lost in the crowd.
I had to do the math to get that 13 years number, and it's coincidentally been 13 years since I came out. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Starsky! And very adorable too. but they had him wear brown contacts to change his naturally blue eyes.
BTW, Starsky and Hutch, there's something I bet would freak out Fred. Just too much homoeroticism there for him.

I loved the film!
I'm envisioning a lovely, large-scale response:
An entire community of people (and anyone who cares to come in from elsewhere) approaching the Westboro contingent with big smiles and open arms. Performers from "Fiddler", in full costume. Drag queens. Maybe some of those protestors who use giant puppets. Etc.
They surround the Phelpses, and do a circle dance, laughing and singing.
I also think it would be good if a group of angel protestors met the Phelpses--and turned mirrors towards them, so they can see how their hatred looks.

They seem to have done their local research before zooming off to California for a winter break! A revival of Fiddler, with Harvey Fierstein as Tevye (there's two hates for one, he's a gay Jew) has opened locally and been splashed all over the local outlets.
I have to laugh at the lengths to which Clan Phelps will go to try to remain socially relevant, erm, in the news.
I'm sorry I missed it, it sounds like the counter-protesters did it up in old-school absurdist San Francisco style. The Rickroll especially made me laugh. I need to get my angel outfit all organized for the next time.

I had to remind myself it wasn't April 1st today when I came across (on youtube) the videos for the WBC covers of 'Bad' by Michael Jackson (changed to 'God's Mad') and 'Poker Face' by Lady Gaga (or 'Lady Gay Gay' as they call her). The latter is sung by Megan Phelps-Roper, one of the younger generation of WBC, and has become a performance piece at their picketings.
I never thought I'd see Shirley Phelps-Roper trying to execute a Michael Jackson style dance routine.
Having read the examples of SP-R's vocabulary style in her correspondence with Rosseweisse in the 'A Certain Family...' thread I can see the influence in the changed poker face lyrics:
'Russian Roulette is what you're playing silly clod/
but every barrel's loaded when you're playing with your God'

I have to admit, I think the court ruled correctly.
No, you haven't stumbled into Backwardsville. I am a staunch supporter of the First Amendment, which gives anyone the right to say whatever damnfool thing they want (and gives me the right to call them damnfools).
I've also made a donation to the Al Snyder Legal Defense Fund, which will be used to pay any court costs and extra money will be given as scholarships for returning soldiers.

Back to the Phelpses and Exploding Mines!. Their picket schedule (which I suppose isn't really work safe either) has them swinging into West Virginia to gloat over (among other things) the tragic mine tragedy there. quote:

I noticed this bit in that linked article:
quote:
“WBC will picket the graduation of Itawamba Agricultural High School to remind the parents, teachers and students of this nation that God said 'Thou shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind, it is abomination,'” the church said in announcing the protest.
But these are two women, so there's actually no mankind lying with mankind involved.
And these people have the gall to call themselves lawyers!

The only surprise for me is that it took them so long to get a press release out about this. I was half expecting them to picket the prom itself.

It cost the town of Blacksburg $5579 to cover the cost of the Phelps's demonstrating here.
Here is the news story.

So there's how to drive 'em nuts: send the bill to WBC.
When they don't pay, sue them.
It should be on the same principle that permits state parks to recover search-and-rescue expenses when some hiker in T-shirt & sandals tries to climb a snow-capped peak solo sans map, compass, water, or food.

Billing the WBC would be good.
Might also be interesting to track the source of their funding. Travel isn't cheap.
