3. That was downright funny!
But one thing was strange to me. That girl was a smart cookie - she caught on quickly. If she's so damn quick witted, how did she get sucked into that much stupid? I expect the Westboro folks to be stupider than fungus and yet she doesn't appear to be.

4. As someone who has been observing them for years...
people have a tendancy to first simply assume that they are ignorant. But they are in fact very educated people (most of them are lawyers), who have extremely evil views. I would suggest you watch this documentary, it's very very interesting and provides alot of insight into who they are:

11. It is pretty obvious that the lady's husband left her for a man.

5. not that attorneys a nesseccarily 'smart'
but they're generally not complete idiots either ... and I think at least 3 of the Phelps kids are attorneys.
I've never thought of the Phelps clan as dumb.. repugnant or bat shit insane are better descriptions.

13. She was probably raised
in the Westboro church. The majority of the members are all relatives of Fred Phelps. She was likely warped from the moment she first heard her mother's voice.

6. My God, these people are just plug F*cking insane.
I wish we had them around here, I'd take a camera and do interviews too... but it wouldn't be as hilarious as these guys.

8. These people from Westboro are delusional
but did I hear right--they don't like McCain either? Then why no anti-McCain signs? The one woman said that the nation was doomed and whoever ran for President was abased--so what does the Phelps clan propose to change the situation? To their mindset it seems that there is no hope. I think this shows that they are insane--all they talk about is condemnation. I wonder how many of them sincerely believe they are the only ones who will be "saved"--and are they even sure of that? Their concept of God is of a judgmental being who enjoys destruction--how could they be sure they wouldn't be crushed by their God just for living in this "wicked" country?

10. There was one about 20 seconds in. So they are non-partisan idiots.

9. Just wait - Phelps' *locusts* will swarm RSU with lawsuits
That's what they do to make money. They video tape counter-protests, identify any action they can sue for and file against the individuals. RSU has just handed them the tape. WBC isn't a "CHURCH", it is a business. The only way they get away with using the word "Baptist" is because there's no law that says any REAL Baptist church has to accept them. What I don't get is why the IRS continues to grant them status as a church. It is a family of lawyers out to make money and is strategically placed in an enclave of morons to provide a steady stream of serfs to hold silly signs.

14. These guys are funny
Michael Moore did a funny video with these clowns too. Now sometimes I know gay when I see it (I am )
And I think old Fred is gay. That is why he is so angry. I don't care he has 13 kids I still believe he is gay.

16. WBC is one fucked up cult....
so idiotic and uneducated. Thinking that bronze age desert religion has any barring on reality is just self induced ignorance.

If gawd was real, he would surely kick the kick out of those morans.

18. LOL, hilarious...
And scary, because the WBC cult is quite serious.

But mostly just hilarious. :)
