Re: [Peckers_Pics] Re: The Westboro Baptist Church

I remember when I was in school at Virginia Tech, the Ku Klux clan had put in a permit request to participate in a parade down the main street.  The town government did grant the permit (as the group does have the right to gather and voice their opinion).  However, the University's direction to all of the students was to simply ignore the people in the march (assuming we disagreed with their views).  And that is exactly what the campus did.    Apparently, their parade was highly anti-climatic cause hardly anyone attended.

Did this stop them or shut them down?  No, but id definitely took the wind out of their sails.

Now if we could only get our media to turn their backs ... there really is no new news here.  Perhaps it will happen when we turn out backs to any media outlet that gives these people a platform.

You notice they don't do much protesting here at home anymore. It started out with our pride parade and in front of gay bars, taunting people, and just waiting for someone to loose thir cool and take a punch For years they did what they could to make our lives miserable in the Kansas City Area. Finally The media reallized that it was a dog and pony show for their cameras, as soon as the media stoped paying attention to them their show hit the road new and improved with the funeral angle. this church is made up of a family of lawyers It dosen't have anything to do with protesting gays it has to do with sueing and countersueing people this church survives on the money they recieve from sueing people and the more public and outrages they get the better a chance they have at baiting someone into a law suit. As soon as the lights and cameras go away they will change their tunes and find another gimic for their cause, and you can bet it will be to protect the world from gods wrath, due to the gays
