Their unabashed hatred for America and homosexuality offends the most deeply held sensibilities of both liberals, conservatives and everyone in between. So at least they're good for something!
Welll sorry but I have seen disagreements about even this. I have seen several liberal posters try to claim that Westboro church is "religious right." Unfortunately for them, the WBC partriarch (forget his name) was involved in politics and was a Democrat. He even ran for public office once or twice.
They are despicable people that's for sure. I don't care about their opinions on homosexuality but to think "god" is punishing America by killing soldiers and children is absolutely idiotic.
Yup but I will defend their right to free speech. Such as burning any Religious book they want that they own and legally protesting anything they want. As much as I find their displays despicable I don't want my right to free speech impinged by taking away theirs.

Just remember the more attention they get (be it negative or positive), the more empowered they become.
That said the Patriot Guard motorcycle groups from Massachusetts and Connecticut are doing a good job of blocking them from the Newtown funerals this week. http://commonamericanjournal.com/wes...od-samaritans/
It's good samaritans like these along with the heroic first responders and teachers that deserve more recognition.

Free Speech isn't absolute, and they're crossing a fine line between Constitutionally protected, and illegal.
If you can't put aside any crap and agree that this right wing group is crazy, evil, and takes freedom of religion to its utter extreme to the breaking point than your an idiot.

Reread the post I said LEGAL. I'll let SCOTUS decide that not the State Department. They have better things to worry about currently.
The only idiots in here are those that can't see the forest for the trees and how excluding the rights of others that you disagree with only affects yours.

Yes. I agree. Freedom can be a b***! At any rate, they're attention whores! Stop giving them the attention they desire, and they will become irrelevant. Having said that they truly are scumbags.
These people are good Onion-material entertainment.
