The Most Hated Family in America - Westboro Church/Cult
Some of you are probably familiar with these people due to coverage of them protesting funerals of soldiers who died in Iraq or their aggressive anti-gay websites and protests.
Check out this short video with highlights If that's interesting to you, go check out the 7 part video here (see links below video window) I've watched the first two so far. The end of part 2 is pretty interesting when he's talking to the teenage girl. Some articles and more information. BBC article Guardian article Wikipedia entry (There are a few more links on the videosift page) Not sure how much there is to discuss here, since I suspect most people will have pretty similar reactions to these people. But I think it's pretty bizarre and fascinating stuff. Oh, as always, please keep discussion civil and stupid gay jokes to a minimum, thanks. |

Shirley used to call into the Adam Corolla show every now and then. Complete insanity. How they haven't gotten the crap kicked out of them is beyond me.

[/ QUOTE ] She did an interview on one of the cable news networks that I remember seeing. I want to say it was done by Bill O'Reilly but I'm not positive. Whoever it was, they pretty much just let her talk and I don't think I've ever seen someone bury themselves so deep without any help. |

If you guys were Vegas oddsmakers, what line would you put on this all being an act? I.e., how likely do you think it is that these folks have been leveling us all these years?

[/ QUOTE ] Very close to zero, based on the sincere hatred these people spouted when on UofM campus for one of their typical gay-bashing missions. |
