WASHINGTON - OCTOBER 06: A man who did not want to be identified (R) drags a U.S. Marine Corps flag across the face of Westboro Baptist Church member Jacob Phelps outside the Supreme Court while justices heard oral arguements in Snyder v. Phelps, which tests the limits of the First Amendment, October 6, 2010 in Washington, DC. Albert Snyder sued the Westboro Baptist Church after his son, Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, was killed in Iraq in 2006 and members of the church held signs and demonstrated outside his funeral. The church and its members preach that U.S. deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq are punishment for Americans' immorality, including tolerance of homosexuality and abortion.

1. "Thank God for Dead Soldiers."; "Thou Shalt Not Kill"

Isn't that kind of contradictory? The Westboro types aren't too smart.

There was one from Westboro church that came to my old campus that was holding a skeleton in his hand and making it talk like a puppet (I swear). He called it "Jimmy the Homosexual." I'm not making this up. These Westboro people are that nuts. Everybody was either laughing at him or calling an ignorant fool. :)

2. God hates flags.

[hootinholler]

4. Obviously from the way that flag is being treated

The U.S. flag, not the USMC flag.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

14. What do you mean, "not the USMC flag"?

That one is being dragged on something much worse than ground.

3. No doubt he will be sued by WBC for assault.

That's how they make their money.

5. He should have dragged his ass across his face.

8. You aint got no pancake mix!

I love this guy's brand of pancake mix street theater. He effectively stays on message and shuts this WBC member down. Stop Deceiving These People!

10. Here is another picture...

WASHINGTON - OCTOBER 06: A man who did not want to be identified (R) drags a U.S. Marine Corps flag across the face of Westboro Baptist Church member Fred Phelps, Jr. , son of pastor Fred Phelps, and other members of the church while they demonstrate outside the Supreme Court while justices heard oral arguements in Snyder v. Phelps, which tests the limits of the First Amendment, October 6, 2010 in Washington, DC. Albert Snyder sued the Westboro Baptist Church after his son, Marine Corps Lance Cpl.

13. I'm betting he's going to promptly be sued on a charge of

assult & battery. About 1/2 the Phelps clan are lawyers.

[proteus_lives]

15. It is their scam.

[gratuitous]

16. Yep

Having dealt with these yahoos a couple of times, I have found it wisest to ignore them if you can't maintain a totally chipper, happy attitude. They are masters at dragging you down to their level of desperate unhappiness and beating you with their experience at being bitter, hateful people.

The good news is that when they fail to get a rise out of their target, they vamoose after about 20 minutes.

[Roland99]

17. Awesome!!

[Roland99]

18. Wait a sec... "while justices heard oral arguements"

"arguements"??


:eyes:

20. Child abuse..n.t.

[derby378]

21. Maybe it's just me...

...but my gaydar just went off after seeing a photo of that poor Westboro kid.

Get out while you can, son. The road you're on only leads to pain and madness.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

24. Yep. He'll be murdering male prostitutes after sex in no time.

YOU MADE ME DO IT!!!

[JoePhilly]

26. Not just you ... I'm usually not to aware of such things ... but

I get the sense that his hate is and outward reaction to feelings he doesn't want to feel.

[blaze]

28. Not just you

I hope he survives the brainwashing.

[tavalon]

30. I don't trust my gaydar on the internet as well as in real life

but, no, you weren't the only one with that thought.

23. Slight OT but, I can't wait for this film to hit theaters

25. I was hoping the drag was more...violent

Man, I was hoping the pole hit someones face. This looks like a love tap!
I really do try not to hate, which is what they are all about, but they can incite even the most peaceful souls. If I never hear from this group again it will be too soon.

31. Poor kid needs to find his authentic self

these cults steal souls, and they should be illegal!
