Not particularly. Silverton, Oregon, is a small farming community. I thought it was pretty cool when the residents there let this group know that their hatred wasn't gonna fly.

It will only be a matter of time before somebody shoots one of these losers. Especially if they keep showing up at soldiers funerals.

These Westboro wackos remind me of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Both are a stain on the earth.

I remember years ago one morning all the bars had let out and there was a crowd of people in the streets/in front of various bars. A car full of college age boys drove by a large (think line backer) drag queen and yelled "***". The drag queen in turn responded "F-U", at which time the car screeched to a halt in the middle of the road and a shouting match ensued. The end result was the drag queen serving up a early A.M. (and surely humiliating) beat down of the drunk guy who wanted to pick a fight. The only way the story could have been better is if the wig came off, but you can't have it all I guess.

I saw a special on them, I think it was done by BBC. I hated to admit it, but while they are INSANE they are also highly intelligent and 2-3 of them are attorneys or at least have law degrees.

LOL, classic. And so the homophobes limped home w/their tail between their legs. Aww, poor babies.

I can understand how many people could find the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence offensive, but as of yet they haven't picketed the funerals of dead soldiers or made the sorts of threats Westboro has made.

No, instead they chose to go in and defile churches and disrupt people who are worshiping. They are on the same foul level of the Westboros
