Westboro Baptist to Picket Gov. Perry's "Day of Prayer"
http://www.dallasvoice.com/westboro-baptist-picket-gov-perrys-day-prayer-sponsored-fellow-antigay-hate-group-1079068.html

Margie Phelps, the daughter of Fred Phelps, reports on Twitter tonight that Westboro Baptist Church will picket Gov. Rick Perry’s “The Response” — a day of prayer and fasting set for Aug. 6 at Reliant Stadium in Houston. The Response is of course sponsored by the American Family Association, designated as an anti-gay hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Westboro Baptist is also listed as an anti-gay hate group by the SPC. So it’s pretty clear that Perry will have to do a better job of uniting homophobic bigots — and build a bigger tent of hate — if he wants to win the GOP presidential nomination.

1. I'd almost pay money to see this.
Two groups of nutjobs going after each other.

2. One small loophole in the 1st amendment
peaceful protestors of GWB are jailed or put in cages, while these hateful crazies are allowed to roam free.

10. And I live in Houston.
Gee. This might be worth the price of a ticket, especially if it gets out of hand and they go after each other. }(

21. Good point. Probably safer, too.
I'm not sure I'd want to be in the middle of two hate groups going for each others' throats. :hippie:

15. So the Napoleons are going to have a dustup with
the Julius Caesars at the Nuthouse Coliseum. :rofl: Will the Richard IIIs be the refs?

This would be a great pay-per-view spectacle.

16. Westboro Baptist picketed Arlington National Cemetary
around Memorial Day this year and were in turn picketed by the KKK. That's when you know a group like Westboro is well and truly crazy. Well, and now when they decide to protest a prayer event sponsored by the American Family Association. The Crazy - it truly does burn.
