They showed up here (VA), and the college kids were ready for them - they protested their protest and the WBC folks left. If people are really passionate enough about it, they will get up and do something to neutralize it.
I don't care enough about it to show up at some protest.
I think its far too easy to call something 'Hate Speech' then demand that it be stifled. Free speech is free speech. I'd sooner safeguard a person's right to hold up a 'God hates fags' sign, than I would demand they remove it.
Zack Shroder (aka Zack Black) shared this youtube on our social networking site.
cultofcthulhu.wall.fm/video/view/200
I believe it was added to youtube, to directly address the socio-political issue of human sexuality and to take a firm stance on it.
The comments on the video read:
"A person who is secure in their sexuality, is indifferent to other people's sexuality"
"If you have a problem with homosexuals, don't be one"
Something along those lines. By guarding the right to hold a 'God hates fags' sign, it protects Zach's right to hold up his sign about Satan.

BLind, zealous, and idiotic people who complain about pretty much everything that they aren't. Last year my Political Science class had a few weeks spent on them and the legal issues involved. From what i learned, they're just zealots attempting to spread the message of a corrupt and insane branch of Christianity. But i did learn, that the majority of what they say is so far fetched and idiotic, a lot of the protests they do, don't leave a major impact. My town actually denied them of their request to protest a local soldier's funeral. Sadly though, despite their ineffective protests, and zealous ideas, they wont be disappearing for a long...long time

Why should I try to stop them? I rather like this group! They are doing a great job discrediting their own religion! I will just leave them be and laugh at their idea of protest.

That is an interesting approach Drax and I think you might be on to something. For surely those who don't concur with them can plainly see how insane and psychotic they are! So yes! Let them spread there message of hate and intolerance for they dig their own graves as they do so!

That's the biggest problem I have with people who love "free speech" but want to censor the unpopular opinions. It's like pro-choice and all that, was not popular or a social norm until fairly recently. If you don't want to hear/see it, then self censor. But don't take someone's rights away because you want only your opinion heard.

Whats strange is that I'm sure there are people out there who agree with them.

it scares me that there even is a slight majority that might think like them but if they agreed why wouldn't they join their church? add one more member to the 14 that are there/
