Phelps Klan treated to humiliation by students, frat in Chicago

This time the members of the Westboro Baptist "Church" picked the wrong place to picket.

(Chicago Maroon):
Over 100 students gathered on South University Avenue and in Hutchinson Courtyard Monday to demonstrate against six protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) advocating against the University of Chicago, the Chicago Theological Seminary (CTS), and the University of Chicago Law School's employment of Barack Obama.

The WBC protesters arrived at the CTS at noon. Carrying signs reading "God hates the world" and "Bloody Obama," they stood on the corner of East 58th Street and South University Avenue for half an hour. They allowed people to photograph them and held up their signs, smiling. At one point, Shirley Phelps-Roper, WBC's spokeswoman, sang a joyful rendition of "God Hates America."

...On the eastern side of the quad, students who had been waiting for the group waved signs mocking the WBC's trademark "God Hates Fags" poster. The signs bore slogans such as "God <3's internet porn," "God hates the new Facebook," and "God hates dial-up."

Across the street, the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity brothers lined their porch in bathrobes, awaiting the arrival of the protesters. When they appeared, the brothers stripped off their robes and began dancing to Diana Ross & The Supremes' "I'm Coming Out," Elton John's "Tiny Dancer," and the Weather Girls' "It's Raining Men." The "Tiny Dancer" lyrics "Jesus freaks/out in the streets" elicited a loud cheer from the crowd on the other side of the street.

In general, the atmosphere was festive. Students laughed, joked, took pictures, and danced to Alpha Delt's music.

3. Whoever that fraternity is, I love them.

When I was in college, most of the frat guys would never have done such a thing. There were just as many liberals as conservatives, but they would never have supported GLBT rights.

6. It's a sign that young people are not buying into this

and that these groups will find more active resistence than in the past when people silently shook their heads but did little, while hate groups like this picketed funerals.

4. Theres a video of the dance at the link

7. "No tolerance for INtolerance..."

I believe their sign read... I was never all that into the whole greek thing in college, but I would share a beer bong with these dudes ANY time...

:rofl:

8. It seems like everyday there are more young people counter protesting these pukes

it seems like their hateful days may be numbered.

I seem to recall a group of high school kids recently turned out in numbers to jeer the bigot-piggers.

One can always hope. :P

9. Did you notice in the clip how fast the "homo-haters" moved past the dancers?
