1. Does anyone even notice these losers anymore?

[JustAnotherGen]

6. n/t

That's just ewwwww - painful.

[davidhilton]

13. apparently so, we're watching them n/t

[MindandSoul]

2. These people are sick. But I wonder who is manipulating their sickness

for political purpose?

[WhoIsNumberNone]

21. Some right-wingers make half-hearted attempts-

- to paint them as "liberals" (They protest military funerals, and therefore -obviously- "hate America", which makes them "liberal" right?) but since these people have no political agenda (just an especially crackpot religious one) most right-wing groups try to distance themselves from the WBC.

[Lars77]

3. wow, religion is a great thing.

[20score]

4. Well, I was secular a few minutes ago. But these crazy people yelling on the street convinced me.

So, now I hate everyone and everything so I can be saved.

[Skip Intro]

7. ROFL!

:rofl:

[stlsaxman]

5. oh... THESE two again. Fuck 'em.

[arcadian]

9. Yeah, isn't that the main daughter?

Shirley or something, the de facto spokesperson for Fred Phelps.

[Flagrante]

8. The stupider they are, the louder they talk.

[Grassy Knoll]

10. Tea baggers next level..........

[AzNick]

11. Covering my ears, going "Lalalalala!!!"

5-year olds in a grown-up body.

[Amonester]

12. yuk. these 2 mentals sure do crave for attention.

and i bet they're not even insured for psychological treatments...

[davidhilton]

14. What is they're point - craziness?

[BluDemocratGirl]

15. The Hellfire Mental Institution is now open for business! LOL

Sent all of those nutcakes in there.

[spicegal]

16. What a bunch of freaks!! What's with the sun glasses, by the way. It was cloudy.

The light probably hurts their eyes. That's what hate does. Those people are bonafide crazy!! Do they really believe they'll win people over. And who funds this craziness. I can't go around the country protesting because I have to work.

[madmax]

17. If they were proud and believed

their own bullshit they wouldn't feel the need to hide their faces and identity.

[vanbean]

18. It must suck to be like those ladies.

[whyverne]

19. Don't they ever get egged?

I would definitely egg them.
A flash egg mob would be great.
The cops would not chase you very far.
If that's freedom of speech, so is egging.
Egg them now, egg them often.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

20. Egg them and they'll sue you for assault

That's where they make their money. if you Google them, you'll find that everyone in the family is a lawyer (although I doubt very many of them are licensed to pratice anywhere) and they support themselves by exploiting loopholes in tax codes and federal funding programs:
"Then I realized this is not even a gay issue: this cult is actually a family of attorneys who exploit a loophole in the Civil Rights Attorney's Fees Award Act of 1976, which was intended to compensate attorneys who fight for civil right--not to finance hate groups. And they exploit the church tax breaks and such to the point that they are multi-millionaires. (http://www.43things.com/things/view/1952229/piss-off-westboro-baptist-church)
