Westboro Baptist Church confronted by... the KKK

Counter-protesters confront Westboro Baptist Church at Arlington


Hours before President Barack Obama led the nation's Memorial Day observances at the Tomb of the Unknowns, three members of the Westboro Baptist Church were challenged by others who disagreed with them -- including members claiming to be from the Ku Klux Klan.

Among those counter-protesting at the cemetery's main entrance: About 10 members of a group that claims to be a branch of the Ku Klux Klan from Virginia called the Knights of the Southern Cross. They were cordoned off separately in a nearby area, but drew little attention as they gave out small American flags behind a banner that read "POW-MIA."

"People like them say it's white power ... white supremacy," Phelps said. "The Bible doesn't say anywhere that it's an abomination to be born of a certain gender or race."

Phelps said her trio was there to tell people they should not "idolize" the dead, especially those who died for an "unrighteous cause."

[Vidar]

37. What a lovely idea!

These idiots all deserve one another.

[Ken Burch]

9. Can't we put both these groups together on a reality show?

Maybe "Survivor:Nuremburg" or something like that?

[Liberal Veteran]

12. I'm thinking "Survivor: Mariana Trench" or "Survivor: Fukushima Daiichi"

[Ken Burch]

17. Those would work.

Instead of "you've been voted off the island", Jeff Probst would say "you've been voted onto the cleaning crew".

And once a week, they'd have an "Insanity Challenge".

[dddem]

36. No challenge there

as far as I can see. They're all insane.

[lbrtbell]

25. Not Fukushima Daiichi, please

The Japanese people have endured enough, without subjecting them to the WBC and the Klanners....

[Maine_Nurse]

[lbrtbell]

27. Just one question

Whose side is Cartman on? :rofl:

[Liberal Veteran]

31. I think Cartman would say, "Screw you guys. I'm going home!"

[McCamy Taylor]

28. KKK versus Westboro Baptists...sounds like a Marvel-Capcom game.

[A Simple Game]

29. I'm fairly old, 60 in fact, and never once in my life have I thought

that I would ever be cheering, even reluctantly, for the KKK.

Wonders never cease.

How bad do you have to be to make the KKK look good?

[rug]

30. .

[Liberal_in_LA]

32. that's like Satan and Hitler having a confrontation!

[Recursion]

33. There's an awful but hilarious quote...

...about Westboro in which a KKK guy is saying "respectable white supremacists must disavow these tactics".

[Maine_Nurse]

35. Sweet Jesus, the KKK has claimed the high moral ground...

I fear the end truly is near.

[Initech]

34. Ok if you've pissed off the KKK, you know you've crossed a line.

[Forkboy]

38. No matter how much I try I can't envision a bad ending to this.

[MilesColtrane]

40. Where's a good, Yugo-sized meteor when you really need one?

[Chisox08]

41. 2 groups of hate filled jackasses facing off.

[LLStarks]

42. Not sure who to root for, so I'll root for freedom of assembly. nt

I feel like I am in an alternate universe right now.
