KKK step in to counter Westboro Baptist Church picket at military memorial ceremony
4:44 pm - 12/19/2012Your enemy’s enemy is your friend? The Ku Klux Klan stepped in to counter a protest by the homophobic Westboro Baptist Church at the Arlington National Cemetery yesterday.
As President Obama honoured fallen soldiers, three members of the vehemently homophobic Westboro Baptist Church, home of the ‘God Hates Fags’ campaign began a picket. “Pray for more dead soldiers” and “God hates your prayers,” chanted three of its members.
The church has said it will picket the funerals of the children murdered at the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
The church blames the increasingly progressive attitudes to homosexuality for everything that is bad that happens to Americans.
Dennis LaBonte, ‘Imperial Wizard’ of a KKK chapter said that 10 members of the group came in “support of the troops.”He aded that he’s not a “hate-monger,” and said he “thinks that it’s an absolute shame that [the WBC] show up and disrupt people’s funerals.”
God Hates Fags protestor Abigail Phelps said the KKK “have no moral authority on anything.”
“The Bible doesn’t say anywhere that it’s an abomination to be born of a certain gender or race.”
In 2009, the British Government placed a ban on members of the church entering the UK due to their attitude to homosexuality.I really don't know what to think about this.
*Blinks*
And they are like, the KING of Asshole Hill. I just...whoa.
When the KKK makes more sense than you, good god.
lol? The KKK does not make more sense than the WBC. It's like 10 people from a chapter and they probably just want publicity.
The source article appears to be missing now. Can't seem to find a mirror or any other article to back this up. Confusing.Edit: Oh, now it's back! Huh. After ten years of them popping up and protesting everything for no actual fucking discernible reason, I'm inured to their bullshit. Actually cannot give a shit about them anymore, because they're not worth my fucking time.

I don't know what teh fuck is going on... I'm like. I just can't. What is this? Where am I? What's the meaning of life? I just.. I don't anymore....
granted it's not like the kkk and their ~imperial wizards~ (not enough lulz in the world) bother to acknowledge that they're hate mongering unless they're feeling particularly button-pushy that day.
frankly i'd like the kkk and wbc to protest/counter-protest each other in some otherwise abandoned lot in the middle of nowhere and let some big stray meteorite come down and take care of them all at once.

I wish a sinkhole would have opened up beneath their feet and swallowed them both.
Payback?
