Yesterday, the zany zealots of Kansas's Westboro Baptist Church were in Brooklyn, bringing their brand of hate to a few synagogues. And, like at Westboro's earlier protests, there were many more counter-protesters present (example: dog wearing a "Dog Loves Fags" sign vs. Westboro's "God Hates Fags" sign).
Outside the Temple Beth Elohim in Park Slope, Fucked in Park Slope reports that Rabbi Andy Bachman "blew the shofar! Right on the temple steps!," "instructed us all to do a rated G 'eff you' (my words, not his) by channeling the power of Groucho Marx for a big crowdsourced 'nah nuh nah nuh, foo foo,'" and "led us all in a pretty rockin' group version of 'Oseh Shalom' before the piece-de-resistance of the morn: A FLASHMOB HORAH as the crowd sang along with 'Hava Nagila.'" Of course, Westboro's Shirley Phelps-Rogers had previously warned, "Don’t flatter yourself, Brooklyn. We serve the living God. You mess with us, you’ll get double destruction for what you do."
Westboro Baptist Church is expected to protest outside St. Patrick's Cathedral today.

Jen-
Please drink your coffee before composing these. It's written as if you're still drunk.
Thanks.
These people are certifiably insane, as are most people in crackpot religious cults. Pity they are getting so much attention.
God doesn't hate "fags". Love the sinner, hate the sin. Big difference.
Maybe instead of speaking for God, you should mind the poll numbers and work on your next spinjob.
I would not be able to restrain myself from cracking one of these assholes in the teeth. I'd feel badly afterward, but there you have it.
What's up with the hipster-ish chick in the first photo? Sad.
These backwards bumpkins are the reason people make fun of Kansans.
I know. I would so hit that. What a waste.
Hit it anyway, her barn door's wide open...
Why do I get the feeling there is an aspiring Mel Brooks out there somewhere writing a Broadway musical about these clowns?
Yes, another Springtime for Hitler. Go for it.
"Abortion is bloody murder." And these religious zealots are living proof.
"Public Option for mental health care in Kansas Now"-Priceless.
What is really sad here, at least from my atheistic perspective is you have two groups of people shouting about God and thus, yelling about nothing other than belief as old as people themselves. Kind of ironic, no?
Seems Jesus would roll over in his grave at the actions of these unenlightened morons. Jesus may have been real, but the son of God? Get real. Sacrifice his only son for the betterment of mankind? Lot of good that did. Seems these people cannot even follow the teachings of their very own lord. Who is really more evil here?
Jesus had it right when quoted as saying, "They know not what they do." Apparently, we still don't. And I am unwilling to forgive this behavior.
It's too bad their was counter protest. That seems to be just what these people want to keep them motivated. 'LOL look how riled up we're getting them queer loving elitist socialist jews!' Since there's like 8 of them these photographs would be a lot more striking if it was just their small, pathetic group, behind the barricade on this tiny corner, with no one else in sight.
Shit I mean look at picture 2. They don't even take up a whole parking space!
the dog rocks.
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.
dear god,
please smite these douchebags.
thanks,
hs
Will this work now?

hmm... maybe god hates me... Or Movable Type...
Nah, it's american apparel that hates you.
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?
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.
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."
And none of them were shot by some pissed off Brooklyn teen. Damn. Missed opportunity.
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.
Brooklyn is a great place to live.
Where's a drunk, off-duty cop in a speeding SUV when you really could use him?
Is that Steve Buscemi on the left side of the second picture? It looks just like him.
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.
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.
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-
http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/10/the-politics-of-outrage.html
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.
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.
