Not only that but look at how everybody is smiling, like it's all a big joke and they know it. "Gee, this sure is fun riling people up!" haw haw. This isn't the work of a group that holds sincere beliefs. They are rabble-rousers and nothing more, representing no real group or church.

I love how the media always falls for these freaks' publicity stunts, giving them exactly what they want: publicity. The media loves to promote this crap in order to get more reads and more comments.

The politics of outrage-

I still maintain that this group has nothing to do with any real christian organization, their goal is probably to turn people off from religion altogether or maybe challenge the US's free speech laws.

It shows other homophobes how ridiculous they are. They don't hurt anyone physically but definitely emotionally when they show up at funerals. At least the biker patriot dudes block the view from grieving families.

We should celebrate these ass-hole's free speech. The irony is that so many of the people these folks "hate" fought and died to protect their very freedom to do this.

Is that Steve Buscemi on the left side of the second picture? It looks just like him.

Where's a drunk, off-duty cop in a speeding SUV when you really could use him?

Brooklyn is a great place to live.

My fantasy:

PRESS RELEASE: Improv Everywhere will be preforming a re-enactment of the classic and beloved Star Trek episode "Return of the Archons" today at an undisclosed location in Brooklyn.

Exterior, Daytime, Somewhere in Brooklyn. WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH MEMBERS exit a van and begin unloading protest signs. They look around and soon notice the neighborhood is filled with people in late 19th century costume, walking slowly with dazed smiles on their faces. A MAN in costume approaches the church members and greets them, smiling:

MAN (speaking in a controlled manner, with an accent that resembles Pennsylvania Dutch): Joy to you friend! Welcome to Breuckelen!

One of the church members replies.

CHURCH MEMBER: Um.. Hello.

MAN: You be strangers. Are you from the valley?

Come for the Festival, ey-yah?

CHURCH MEMBER: Er, what festival? What is all this faggoty?

MAN (ignoring the question): Found a place to sleep it off yet? Go down to Regar's place - they have rooms! But you will have to hurry. (He points to a nearby clock tower) It is almost the Red Hour.

2nd CHURCH MEMBER: Red hour? Must be some kinda Obama commie shit.

Suddenly clock tower bells chime the hour. The MAN and all the others in costume nearby start shrieking manically and yell "FESTIVAL! FESTIVAL!" The men and women whip off their hats, the women's hair coming undone. They eagerly and joyfully begin creating mayhem - passionate kissing, ripping at each others clothes, kicking over garbage cans, smashing car windows, throwing rocks, smashing bottles, hitting each other with clubs, lighting torches, throwing themselves sexually at each other at random. None of this action is directed at the CHURCH MEMBERS. The CHURCH MEMBERS look on with fear and confusion, then with anger and disgust. The CHURCH MEMBERS start yelling at the crowd.

CHURCH MEMBERS: You're all going to burn in hell! We wish you people had died in 9/11! It's faggots like you that are why God hates America! And Brooklyn will burn first!

This goes on for a few minutes. As the surrounding mayhem continues, a dozen or so GUARDIANS appear - tall men dressed in brown robes, their hoods obscuring their faces. They are carrying what appear to be long tubes. In unison they slowly approach the CHURCH MEMBERS. The lead GUARDIAN speaks, his voice is forceful, bass and echoed, as if it is being electronically modified.

GUARDIAN (points to the CHURCH MEMBERS): You attack the body. You have heard the word and disobeyed. You will be absorbed.

CHURCH MEMBER: What the sam hill you talkin' 'bout, boy?

GUARDIAN: It is the word of Landru. The good is all. Landru is gentle. You will come. It is the law. You must come.

2nd CHURCH MEMBER: We don't care if you're from "Landru" or Mo-ham-med or Budda or whatever! Our God is all-powerful! You faggots are gonna burn in hell!

3rd CHURCH MEMBER: Yeah, Satan's gonna shove a pitchfork up your ass! You'd probably like that, huh, faggot?

2nd CHURCH MEMBER: And we sure as hell ain't wearin' no damn burkas! (flips at the sleeve of the lead GUARDIAN.)

The GUARDIANS look at each other, then look back at the CHURCH MEMBERS.

GUARDIAN: It is clear you do not understand. I will rephrase. You will accompany us to the absorption chambers. It is the word of Landru. You will be absorbed.

The GUARDIANS slowly begin to crowd around the CHURCH MEMBERS chanting "Absorbed. Absorbed..." The CHURCH MEMBERS back away. The 2nd CHURCH MEMBER looks hopefully at the NYPD stationed nearby but they are just shaking their heads and giggling. The GUARDIANS continue to surround the CHURCH MEMBERS as the chant grows louder and their robes fill the screen.

And none of them were shot by some pissed off Brooklyn teen. Damn. Missed opportunity.

I HOPE the authorities are watching these freaks very carefully. Freedom of speech fortunately does not extend to hate speech and it's only a matter of time before ATF goes after these assholes.

By the way, what does the sign say which begins "You Will Eat Your..." ??

I believe it's "babies."

Anyone who thinks they have a direct connection and a personal relationship with God is obviously the product of decades of inbreeding. These “people” are in the same family with suicide bombers and hate mongers that seem to be today’s media darlings.

anybody else sick of all the Bloomberg ads on what is at least a soft news site? on every friggin click????

personally I think its a disgrace that he need advertise after two terms... I think we all get what he's about. Run the city like its his media company. and then he has his lackies lash out at the man running against him because he didn't raise enough money to be considered serious, yet every media outlet is getting tons of money from him for his ads. anyone see the conflict?

and do I need a direct mailing from Bloomberg every two days?

how about he just takes public funds and uses all that money to actually fix some of NYC's issues.

its a joke. much like this protest. who is their target audience? the insane?

hmm... maybe god hates me... Or Movable Type...

Nah, it's american apparel that hates you.

or this...

please smite these douchebags.

thanks,

Seems like these inbreeds forgot Jesus was a jew. I love how pathetic they are. They can't even get one piece of history right. Its interesting how religious fanatics like this don't land up in an asylum. I guess its freedom of speech. I read somewhere, that people consider WBC like the new Manson's. I just hope its not true.
