Westboro Baptist Church to protest in Fairport

Jul 31, 2007 In The News

Last month, I wrote about a group of young women from the Rochester suburb of Fairport, NY who passed away when their SUV collided with a tractor trailer.

Never a group to shy away from making complete asses of themselves by disrupting the mourning of others, the infamous Westboro Baptist Church is apparently going to come protest tomorrow night’s tribute gathering at the Fairport school football field. After all, they reason, the girls were not killed by a traffic accident, but “killed by God Almighty like any other typical raised-for-the-Devil, American whores.” (You’ll have to Google for their web site for the source of the quote; I won’t drive traffic to them and thus I refuse to link to it.)

Yes, you read that right. “Disgusting” and “vile” don’t begin to describe the asininity that is any statement coming from the WBC.

I’ll be interested to see how this plays in local news. I hope they portray the protest for the bullshit that it is.

  • I'm with ya on that count. I'm not a very religious person, but even I know this isn't the viewpoint of mainstream Christianity.

    If I didn't have regular Wednedsay-night plans tonight, I'd be interested in manning an anti-protest wall myself.

  • If I lived nearby I'd so be there to counter it. Fred Phelps is a megalomaniac who should be incarcerated. He's obviously completely insane at this point and getting more so as he gets older.
