The most hated family in America?

[RyanD]

The Phelps. The whole family of the West Borrow Baptist Church.

i was doing some research and saw this: WARNING: YOU MAY FIND THIS VERY RACIST!

These guys are fucking crazy. I hate them more than i hate anything on earth.

what are your thought to this?

[deevergote]

I'll have to watch it when I'm not already in a bad mood... not sure when that will be, but someday.

You know they're bad when even the KKK refers to them as a "hate group"!

[dysfunk]

Westboro is retarded. I know someone who is in Westboro, who is actually ***. He claimed that he was celibate.

Thats true. And not to mention the christian faith has disowned them

And then stuff like this happens:

On Sunday, Anonymous posted to Pastebin a list of data that it claimed belonged to Westboro members. The data included names, street addresses, phone numbers and email addresses, according to CNET.

Got about 6 minutes in. I think that reporter is making all those interviewees rather unhappy.
I.e. the reporter was really shocked when that guy said ******, and it was
evident in the minute or so after when the white guy kept saying it.

I have known about them for some time. I wish they would all fall on a giant dick.

Honestly, by sharing these videos and talking about them so much, they don't have to work for their 15 mins.

I wish everyone would just forget they exist(except for law enforcement who can monitor their crazy antics)

I don't know anything about them, but they seem to understand the concept of using negative publicity to build their following.

I'm with you on that man. They have their fame. Now can we talk about something more relevant like. "Will Chris Brown ever be invited to dinner at Jay Z's house? "

When I first heard of them, it was through a link to their website. They have (or at least had) a forum. After reading a few threads on the forum, I truly believed it was all satire. People being so outrageously ignorant and hateful as a mockery of those that really DO act that way. If you search on here, you'll likely find old posts about them from years ago. As a form of satire, I thought it was clever. As something that actually exists, it's disgusting.

I want to be angry and mad at them, but I honestly can't. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and beliefs. That family just has a very skewed belief system, and I honestly feel sorry for them. I can't get angry at them for not liking black people or jews, or liking swastikas, or even hating ***s. It's who they are and what they are. If there really is a God then he already has plans for them after death. They'll get what they "deserve". It's just how i see it. Sure it's extremely offensive, but there isn't anything we can do about it.

Your dad just died in the military in Iraq, a decision you had trouble dealing with initially.
They are now at his funeral, saying since he was in the military, he is a *** ***got and that he deserved it.
Also, since he was a ***got his children are the spawn of satan and you deserve no less.

Still think freedom of speech is completely ok?



(These are exact things they have done)

[Tnwagn]

Still think freedom of speech is completely ok?

Absolutely.

Do I think what they do is terrible? Yes. Does that mean that they shouldn't be allowed to say it? No. In our country individuals have incredible freedom to express themselves, even at the personal anguish of pretty much anyone else. This is because the moment you begin to censor what someone can say you start the path to a completely silenced nation.

You're completely correct.
So are the gigantic bikers that sit outside those funerals where they protest and rev their Harleys as loud as they will go. (To drown out Westboro)
More free speech
