Anonymous Hacks The Westboro Baptist Church: Posts All Their Personal Information

[Seedersandleechers]

Source: The Inquisitr

The hacking collective known as Anonymous renewed their war on the Westboro Baptist Church today. After the haters from the infamous church posted their intentions to picket the funerals of the twenty children killed in the shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, Anonymous responded by re-posting the personal and professional information for members of the church on the Internet. Now the general public can contact the church members directly and tell them what they think about people who would desecrate the funerals of murdered children.

Westboro Baptist Church has been irritating Americans for years with venom filled message about their demented version of God. According to the many closely related and intermarried members of the Phelps family who make up the majority of the congregation of the so-called church, God enjoys killing children and soldiers. They constantly proclaim God hates homosexuals and plans to destroy America for not following the Westboro Baptist Church’s twisted version of Christianity. The incredible obsession with homosexuality expressed by Fred and family seems to many as a sure fire case of “thou dost protest too much.”

Anonymous has been after the Westboro Baptist Church for several months now, hacking their websites repeatedly. Recently, they accused the church of creating a fake letter from the hacking group in order to trick other hackers into attacking the website. Anonymous warned their supporters the church planned to harvest internet addresses and sue people. Suing people is apparently the primary activity of the Westboro Baptist Church when they aren’t screaming hate at funerals.

Of course, Westboro denied the charges and taunted Anonymous as incompetent hackers. They claimed their website was protected by God. Big mistake. A few days later, while a Westboro spokeswoman was boasting about how the church foiled Anonymous on a radio talk show, an Anonymous spokesman called in and hacked the church’s website in real time on the air.

1. There is a Santa Clause

Been really blue, sad, lethargic over the brutal current event. This made me smile and actually
Made my heart less heavy.

[Katashi_itto]

9. I just subscribed the Phelps to get Mormon Missionaries.

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

99. Please explain

what does one have to do with the other ?

[Katashi_itto]

100. Have you no sense of Humor? It means the Phelps are on the list to get "saved" by a visit

from the Mormons

[Taverner]

104. Sense of humor? Ever hear about those?

[LibAsHell]

59. I take issue with the claim that WBC practices

a "twisted" form of Christianity. Bring back Moses and other Biblical figures from the dead, and I bet they side with hateful evangelicals or the WBC before other Christians. Their basic premise, that God is punishing us for turning away from him is supported by things he did in the Bible.

[Chef Eric]

82. You think Moses would "side with" an anti-semitic organization?

I don't know WTF you are talking about, but whatever it is, it doesn't seem very relevant to original post.

[savannah43]

89. Who wrote the Bible? Huh?

[LibAsHell]

103. We don't know, but it's the basis for modern Christianity

So, at best, claiming WBC practices a "twisted" form of Christianity is a guess. At worst, it's denial. God had no issues with ordering the killing of children for various reasons, including to punish tribes who turned away from him or worshiping other gods, so the WBC is not saying anything crazy when they claim tragedies like this are god's way of punishing us (I mean, relative to scripture).

Point being: let's avoid the whole "WBC doesn't practice true Christianity" or "practices twisted form of Christianity" crap when we talk about how sick and evil these people are. It's like we feel guilty if we don't add that silly addendum whenever we talk about them.

[Demeter]

76. What we need is a Sanity Clause!

Thank you, Chico.

[Buck Turgidson]

91. You can't fool me. There ain't no sanity clause

[Kennah]

86. Santa Clause 4: A Big FO to the WBC!

[Stewland]

2. Thank you

I am very grateful to the hackers and bless their activities. A cult of very fragile and demented minds are the Westboro Baptists. Oneday soon the Truth will reveal itself and they will no longer spread this hateful venom upon innocent bystanders.. Truth will set them free or Imprison them. Humor is the best way to respond to them. Perhaps someone will outdoo them in a display of public notice. I have watched videos of them and they seem so childish and just plain silly.

[tavalon]

81. Textbook case of inbreeding

It makes stupid mofos who can't think for themselves.

[savannah43]

90. You are much kinder than I am.

I think of them as ridiculous with an overall sense of undeserved self-righteousness. They better spend their time praying that the "sin that cannot be forgiven" isn't believing you know what God is thinking. Back to your inbreeding.

[LeftofObama]

3. Quite a bit of info in the links provided.

If one is inclined to mess with them.

[Coyotl]

22. I went there. Oh, the irony of the graphic's ad.

I got an ad overlay promoting a local local church finder for my nearby town! Good luck with that!

[Judi Lynn]

4. That's one very strange woman. What peculiar people they are.

Sitting in a room with them would be astonishing.

What the hell ARE they?

Is it group hynosis? Cleary they never take the time to think.

Thanks for this news, and the video, Seedersandleechers.

[kardonb]

79. peculiar...

all these creeps want is ATTENTION , so they do crazy things . Ignore them , picket them .

[SummerSnow]

5. I can't stand them..

Since they love rejoicing over everyone who dies, do they picket and scream obscenities at their own members death? Evil ass people.

[Jefferson23]

6. One of the most disturbing issues for me about this group is the children they raise..it is abuse

and nothing is done about it.

[get the red out]

11. +1

I have thought about that many times. Those poor kids, totally fucked up from the start, that's incredibly abusive.

[Jefferson23]

15. It is very sad, isn't it? I doubt the authorities will ever be able to legally intervene on the

children's behalf.

[davidpdx]

95. I think someday it's bound to happen that one of them will break away from the "cult"

And stand up against them. It will probably be someone younger too.

[byeya]

7. Who are they? I think they are typical Fundy/Evangelicals and the difference is they do what the

others only think about doing, but don't act on their thoughts.

And yes, as I and many others have posted, it is child abuse to raise kinds in their fantasy hate filled world.

[Major Nikon]

10. I was raised in a rural area and knew of a Baptist minister who preached this kind of hate

I have no doubt it's extremely common among the religious nut crowd. Most just aren't completely stupid enough to promote their ideas like Westboro. My dad was a Unitarian minister so we were familiar with other church leaders in the area. Naturally he loathed my dad and probably would have killed him if he thought he could get away with it. These people actually think homosexuality is a plague that needs to be stamped out and their level of hate is unfathomable to most humans.

[byeya]

14. Being a Unitarian in a rural area must have been tough. Sorry you had to endure it.

People either forget, or didn't know, that the terrorist KKK(A Fundy organization) ethnically and religiously clensed rural areas of as many Roman Catholics, Jews, and open minded religions like the Unitarians as they could.

[Major Nikon]

23. It was tough

The fundies knew who I was before I did. I was always a target. As early as I can remember they used to enlist their children to hand out fundy literature to me in school. Adults told me I was going to hell. They were particularly cruel around religious holidays.

[byeya]

25. You've been the victim of an unreported culture war. Isn't Unitarianism the descendent of the

religion of most of our Founding Fathers?

[Major Nikon]

55. Not really

Some have claimed Thomas Jefferson was a Unitarian, but I can't find any evidence that he ever directly affiliated with the Unitarian church. There may have been one or two card carrying Unitarian founding fathers, but I don't know who. Many, if not most of the primary founding fathers were Deists, which is not really what Unitarianism is although it's certainly not incompatible with Unitarianism. It's hard not to be compatible with the Unitarianism though. We had atheist members of our congregation when I was a kid.

[FailureToCommunicate]

62. Some were...but the Founding Fathers -and Mothers- were a mix of

Congregationalists (think Pilgrims) and Anglicans, Episcopalians, Quakers, Unitarians (Jefferson) and Deists (notably Ben Franklin and Thomas Paine who penned "The Age of Reason&quot
But yes, as you thought, many of the original Congrational churches had voted to become Unitarian by the early 1800s

[BainsBane]

26. I find it hard to believe such views are common

the idea of celebrating a man who kills 20 children as being sent by god to punish these little ones is deranged beyond all comprehension. Words cannot describe how twisted that congregation is.

[Major Nikon]

32. It is deranged, but it's the exact same thought processes

The only difference is that most of the mainstream knows damn well that declaring such thoughts would turn public opinion against them. So they speak in coded messages which really aren't that hard to decipher.

When so-called mainstream religious leaders like Huckabee stand up and claim god left the classroom, and have made their views on homosexuality clear, their intent is clear. They view homosexuality the same as pedophilia and necrophilia. They preach that AIDS patients should be isolated and abandoned. It's exactly how they think.

[BainsBane]

33. Check this out.

Their URL is godhatesameria. So they are bigots. Does that mean they need to be traitors? Why blame innocent children for the actions of adults? It's beyond nuts.

[Major Nikon]

35. I don't think they blame children. They blame society for the acceptance of "godlessness"

It is beyond nuts, but it's important to remember that this isn't that far removed from mainstream fundy thinking. Only the action stage is different.

[truebluegreen]

41. To me, they are deranged opportunists...

looking for the opportunity to sue anyone who denies them their rights.

I think that is the missing element in the coverage of this so-called church.

[hatrack]

51. It's somewhere between a cult, a fundie church and an extended family . . .

Mostly it 's a big extended family. Something like 90% of members are members of the Phelps family by birth or by marriage.

[Major Nikon]

8. Now we just need a trained army of shit throwing monkeys to combat their protests

[davidthegnome]

94. I like your style

Let it be written....

[HughBeaumont]

12. One could be tempted to say "Not Cool" . . . . .

. . . . but sorry, they're Westboro, they're an awful hate cult, they're historic and horrific child abusers from jump (Fanatic Freddie used to beat his kids with an ax handle), they're attention whores and they can eat a bag of dicks. Go Anon.

[KansDem]

27. A commenter shares your sentiment

From the site--

Tim Fox

I don't fear Anonymous and do not worry about publicly critizing them on occasion. I've done nothing wrong and if they want to take me down. That just shows they have no honor.

Maya Wright

Tim Fox -Honor? You're talking honor on a thread at the bottom of a list of people who plan to picket the funerals of dead kids? Murdered kids?? Honor went out the window a long time ago...
8 hours ago

[Carolina]

13. Touche! Go Anonymous. eom

[jehop61]

16. Sorry to disagree

Isn't anyone disturbed that Anonymous can hack ANYONE'S information and post it ANYWHERE? The Westboro people are awful and need to be thwarted at every turn, but I do not like someone with access to MY information. This could lead to some very serious intrusion into our lives. They have no right to do this.

[byeya]

19. Several government agencies have all that we've put on the internet and laws have

been reinterpreted to give them clearance to keep the records of people totally unsuspected of anything remotely illegal.
If bill collectors, for instance, can gain access to your life than I don''t have a problem with what ANON has done.

[Terry_M]

20. If there is information about you online it's already not safe

And there isn't anything you can really do about it.
This is just an example of that in action...

[heaven05]

31. no

I'm not worried about anon and yes I'm glad they did this.

[pasto76]

34. says who? you're ignoring that our government, and foreign governments also do this already?

frankly, I would rather have anonymous hack me than have the Feds data mine me

[dixiegrrrrl]

38. Just what I was gonna say.

I trust anonymous much much more than I do our current gov.
In terms of accessing other computers, the motives and targets of the two are miles apart.

[truebluegreen]

43. Ditto! nt

[marble falls]

39. For just this reason my feelings are conflicted. I support what they do but they do break eggs ....

to make their omlettes.

[rhett o rick]

50. I bet you'd been against Robin Hood also. He was breaking the law.

I believe in laws. But laws never trump morality. It is scary that anyone has the abilities that Anon does but a lot do and you dont know about the others because they dont display their work. It appears that Anon is on the side of goodness and for that I am thankful.

[hatrack]

52. At least when it's Anonymous, we're not paying for it

If it's everyone else (NSA, FBI, Homeland Security) our tax dollars cover the cost of tapping our phones and recording our emails.

[WhoWoodaKnew]

58. I agree with you.

I am not in favor of people breaking the law and hacking sites. Even if it's people i disagree with.

[pennylane100]

92. They are just providing a free service.

There are many internet sites that would sell this kind of information. If that is legal, what is wrong with a free copy.

[Puzzledtraveller]

105. Well, as long as it's our enemies right?

Seem's we are getting more comfortable with labelling those we oppose as enemies therefor stuff like this doesnt bother us.

[Coyotl]

17. This is the real Anonymous, not the fake dudes who tried to pull the We Conned Rove con.

[rhett o rick]

47. How do you tell the difference? nm

[Coyotl]

49. The web site was actually hacked and taken down.

Instead of just a batch of buffoonery and nothing more.

[cui bono]

65. What batch of buffoonery?

What shows that that Karl Rove stuff wasn't actually Anonymous?

[Posteritatis]

71. Anonymous is hardly a monolithic entity. (nt)

[bitchkitty]

18. Love it!

I tried to get to their site, but evidently they're experiencing a DDOS attack, can't reach it.

[bluemarkers]

21. why can't wbc members be committed for a mental evaluation?

Every time they show up in a different location, someone needs to call the local leos complain of the crazy and throw them in a padded cell for 24 hours.

every time

[cecilfirefox]

24. I just adore the anons!

[randome]

42. I don't. Sometimes they get it absolutely wrong.

As when the published the wrong address of an accused pedophile.

But I'm also not going to protest too much when they stick it to Westboro.

[lonestarnot]

28. Tee hee!

K & R!

[Atypical Liberal]

29. What I heard is that this is not a "church"

I heard that this was a group of family members, a lot of them lawyers, who figured a good way to make money would be to inject themselves into highly controversial things in the hopes that someone will do something against them that they can sue for.

The "church" thing is just a front to allow them to do what they do.

It's a money-making scheme.

[DavidDvorkin]

57. Nonetheless, it is a church.

[Atypical Liberal]

67. Only as a front.

Look at the membership list.

They are all lawyers!

These people have set up a sham to try and antagonize people so they can sue them.

[LanternWaste]

110. I analyze intent and actions as well as self-labeling to better determine

I analyze intent and actions as well as self-labeling to better determine what an organization is or is not.

Some may say the NRA is a firearms safety-club, however if one looks at intentions and actions, it then becomes more appropriate to call them a political action committee, nut "nonetheless, it is a firearms safety club"

[heaven05]

30. just

the thought that they would picket the funerals, to me, shows an utter lack of love and compassion. Something Jesus did have in abundance. Anything happens to the picketers, they are asking for it. Mean and stupid so called christians. This is not right. They should cancel something like this.

[2theleft]

36. this made me happy...tried to go to their site

just to see what it was like, and my company's filter has it blocked as "HATE" speeach.

Glad to see that we have it right.

[marble falls]

40. They are hate speech, but doesn't it bother you a bit that the site was censored? Who censored it?

[yewberry]

53. Employers have every right to block access & content

If you're on their time & their equipment, they can and do block websites.

[Dustlawyer]

37. The WBC is on the fringe of religious groups, but I will incur the wrath of other religious folks by

saying that religion as a whole is responsible for more deaths and abuse than anything else. How many wars over religion? Look at the Middle East! Israel, the Jewish people vs all Muslims. Us Christians supporting Israel. Muslims divided into Shite vs. Sunni. There are many other examples. The bad outweighs the good. I will agree that most religious people do not take it that far, or are pacifists. I will agree that churches, synagogues, temples, and mosques do good works. But all of that is outweighed by the violence and harm that they do in the name of (insert your god/God here)!

[axetogrind]

44. I love it.

Those vile asshats are a shit stain on decent religions and anything that embarasses them is OK in my book.
Keep up the good work Anonymous.

[Grins]

45. Thank you, Bob Jones University

Without you, there may not have been a Fred Phelps.

[SoapBox]

46. Hilarious.

[tawadi]

48. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch

[santamargarita]

54. Good!

[Comrade_McKenzie]

56. I love vigilante justice. Gets rid of all the nasty red tape. nt

[WhoWoodaKnew]

60. yeah, but what if it's some republican group...

carrying out what they think is vigilante justice?

[LiberalLovinLug]

61. Here's the video of the on-air hack

[freshwest]

73. Stupefying and pathetic exchange from everyone except David.

[davidpdx]

98. I agree with you

Crazy stuff

[Curmudgeoness]

75. I love that the hack was done on air.

Hilarious.

[FailureToCommunicate]

63. In these bitter, dark days, a thing like this brings a smile

[ForgoTheConsequence]

64. How many of these assholes have government jobs?

Of few of them are lawyers employed by the state of Kansas. Why do Kansas taxpayers allow this?

[cui bono]

66. WTF are they trying to accomplish by picketing the funerals of these kids???

While I completely disagree with them I can see their hate filled logic in picketing a gay person's funeral since that person was represented something their tiny little minds can't deal with, but why on earth are they picketing the kids' funerals? I don't see the point they are trying to make.

[AntiFascist]

70. Sorry you feel that way...

many of us did not see the logic of picketing a gay person's funeral, especially by a group that calls itself Christian. Too bad it takes something like this to wake people up.

[cui bono]

108. Sorry I feel what way?

That they are following their own hate filled logic? That has nothing to do with my feelings, it's a direct correlation. They hate gay people so they picket gay people's funerals.

I think you completely misunderstood me if you think what I said meant that I in any way felt what they do is justified. I simply said that it fits their "logic", and following that, picketing kids' funerals makes no sense as it would imply that they hate kids. Therefore, I didn't see what they were trying to accomplish by picketing the kids' funerals. If they really do/did, the backlash will come back to bite them.

[AntiFascist]

109. I'm sorry that you see the logic in their picketing of gay peoples' funerals...

even most of the hate-filled evangelists would think twice about dancing on dead peoples' graves at their funerals.

The twisted logic of the Westboro Baptist Church is actually fairly easy to understand, but it really seems to apply to all Americans equally. In short, they believe that because America is beginning to support equal rights for gay people, many of the bad things that happen to Americans, be it hurricanes or what have you, occur because America is turning away from God.

I understand your point of view and my anger isn't directed at you specifically, but I am a bit perturbed by the general attitude that this particular brand of hate, when it is directed specifically at gays, is somehow mundane and not noteworthy.

[cui bono]

111. I never said it's mundane and not noteworthy. Really, you are missing the point. n/t

[AntiFascist]

112. You're the one missing the point...

if you can't understand why the Westboro Baptist Church has it in for all Americans.

[Chemisse]

78. I've been wondering that too.

We know they hate gays, so that makes sense in their sick world. But what point are they trying to prove by picketing the childrens' funerals?

[AntiFascist]

85. It's really pretty simple...

they see that the tide is turning on gay rights, where a majority of Americans are now beginning to support equality in marriage specifically. They see this as America turning away from God, allowing all that is evil to possess the nation. Anytime Americans die tragically, for example soldiers being killed in Iraq, they will blame it on this. Unfortunately, its not just crackpots like the WBC who have this belief. Pat Robertson will probably be making a similar statement any time now.

[shenmue]

68. Yay

One day I'm going to follow the WBC to one of their stupid things, and moon them.

[davidpdx]

96. People are better off biding their time and waiting for one of the elders to die

Then organizing a protest against them. We'll see how they like it when their parade is pissed on.

[BlueJazz]

69. Anonymous has proved time and time again that they are the "Good People"

Many assholes in this world that need to be taken down.
I support Anonymous all the way.

[libodem]

72. All the links to the dirty bookstores

So, they can see some pictures, of what to hate. I bet they are sitting on the biggest stash of hot gay porn magazines, you could ever imagine. Goat trails through 5 foot tall piles. Buried alive in all kinds of leather fetish porn they order in brown paper wrappers off the internet.

Creepy, old, sick minded, filth absorbing, filth spewing, ungodly disruptors. Stay home with your god hates posters.

My Goddess does not hate . She loves us all, as our Mother in Heaven, loves her children. She is love. Get used to it. Goddess Worshipers are alive and well.

Uh, you can sew socks in Hell, freakazoid bigots.

Pity, about your mean hateful god. I think his name....is......Satan..

[proud2BlibKansan]

74. That's been public information for years

Other than proving God isn't protecting their website, this was pretty pointless.

[LTR]

77. WBC is currently taunting Anonymous on Reddit

They're currently doing an Ask Me Anything as we speak!

Damn, I had no idea their almighty God was also a sysadmin. Will wonders never cease.

83. Thank you ANON!

84. I love it!

Turn the hate right back against them.

[Ratmonster]

106. Anonymous

Anonymous may very well be the most powerful thing to stand up for the rights of "We the People".

I can only hope that their efforts to bring about justice and uncover hidden truths and agendas continues

until all ills of society are brought to light and the evildoers are dealt with.

[hrmjustin]
