This is the one and only time this award will be bestowed upon this particular group. Let's face it, they could take it any day of the week, but I'll mention it just this once and we can move on.
Westboro Baptist "Church" are the Douchebags of the Week.
Yes, they picket the funerals of American Soldiers. Yes, they've demonstrated at churches that have allowed civil unions or Goddess forbid, same sex weddings. Yes, they've tried unsuccessfully to come to Canada for some of their twisted rallies (under Canada's Hate Laws, they're not permitted into the country).
Their latest stunt was in a tiny town in Oregon called Silverton, population 2000. You see, the tiny community that you've never heard of voted in Stu Rasmussen as their Mayor. No biggie? Well, Stu happens to be America's first transgendered mayor voted into office.
So the kind and christian folk at WBC decided to head out to Silverton with signs in tow. Well, four of them anyway. Along with their typical "God Hates Fags" signs and standing on the U.S flag (out of deliberate disrespect) were signs saying "Obama is the Anti-Christ" etc, etc, etc.
What I love about this story is that about 150 people from the tiny town of Silverton showed up with their own signs in retaliation and defense of their elected official:
Shit like this gives me hope that we can get past what we think is a lack of progress. We need to unite and fight.
Remember, those folk in California and Arizona and wherever! .... voted on something that just three days before, heard their Preachers and Ministers and Priests and Elders say that they should vote against. Hell! Even Florida finally struck down a clause/law/bullshit that said that gays couldn't adopt! Sidebar: You just know that the swashbuckling crusaders from Westboro will show up in Miami in the next few days.
So there you have it.

WBC. Douchebags of the week.
We used to live just down the highway from Silverton. Good for them that they stood up to WBC. Fuck those freaks stay the hell out of the NW!
ReplyDeleteI've seen these douches in action when they picketed a friend's funeral. We turned on the irrigation system hoping they would melt. Good call.
ReplyDeleteThey are proof that demons run the religions now.
ReplyDeleteto paraphrase jack nicholson in batman "the wbc needs an enema"
ReplyDeleteseriously - they are packed full of shit
I don't have a problem with God, or faith, or spirituality... but I sure hate "religion". For this very reason.
ReplyDeleteBlind, brainwashed, ignorant sheep! Uggh!!
