The controversial organization known as the Westboro Baptist Church spent the Golden Globes weekend protesting outside four different Southern California churches, only to find itself massively outnumbered by counter-protesters.

The Kansas-based WBC has gained infamy over the past few years for picketing military funerals and for its public use of anti-gay and anti-Semitic language. While few in number, the WBC makes up for its low membership with over-the-top, offensive publicity campaigns. However, the group's picketing attempts increasingly have been met with much larger counter-protests, as was the case at Sunday's pickets outside four churches in Glendale, Calif., reports Fox affiliate KTLA.

A human wall separated the WBC from Salem Lutheran Church before services began at 8:30 a.m. KTLA noted that things got a "bit heated" at Salem, but the services eventually began without incident.

After visiting Salem, the WBC moved on to First United Methodist Church, Glendale Presbyterian Church and Holy Family Catholic Community Church before ending up somewhere near the Golden Globes Awards show at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

1. This is the pattern at Klan rallies too.

2. What about "Love one another as I have loved you" does WBC not understand?
