You just got your wish they plan on being there. You can see the idiots in action.

Agreed. Most people do despise them but I know some who think they are doing good, gods work, I tell them to take a good look at what they are really doing and go from there. So far I got one person thinking twice about them when he didn't before. What they do and why they do it has to be pointed to people who just don't get it and so they don't fall into their trap. The people who fight with them on the street are reacting to their emiotions and I don't blame them but they have to keep it in control so these disgusting pigs don't get away with the lawsuits to make money off the people they victimize and offend.

Fortunately, counter-protests outnumber the Westboro protesters by some hundreds to thousands to one.

I saw biker gangs were going to be part of the counter-protesters in WA. Good for them.

They are just idiots that love publicity. Better to ignore them but it seems everything they do is posted on here and elsewhere. GAG

SHYT...We're talking about NEWARK, NJ. They have to be some bold so and so's. I just read this from the daughter

Nevertheless, a spokesperson for Westboro Baptist indicated that her organization would not miss the opportunity to protest the Houston funeral, particularly considering that church members will already be in New Jersey to demonstrate against a proposed gay marriage law.

Whitney Houston's Funeral to Be Picketed by Radical Church Group | News | BET

This right here could have them thinking twice before coming to this area of the country again.

When they pulled their hateful act at the funeral of a soldier in a town near me a town policeman walked up and hit one of them right in the face. Strangely enough, all of the town people around the action were immediately struck blind and "saw nothing."

It's kind of ironic to me how universally hated this group is because of their actions and beliefs, yet it seems that many religious social conservatives and their push to make America more of a theocracy are, in all reality, not that many steps removed from these awful people.
