Keep posted at our blog http://www.thewingnutrva.wordpress.com Westboro Baptist is coming to town: Call to all fags and fag enablers! Everybody's favorite insane Baptist church is coming back to town! Westboro Baptist Church, the wonderful people who picket funerals and believe god hates fags, fag enablers, muslims, jews, america, the military, coal miners, and sweden (among other things), are coming to protest VCU on September 26th! September 26 · 3:30pm - 5:00pm Location VCU 907 Floyd Ave Richmond, VA Apparently god also hates education? Or maybe it's the younger generation? I'm not really sure, but I am sure that according to th...eir leader Fred Phelps's theology god can find something to hate you for! Consider this an open invitation to come counter protest against WBC! The best way to do this? Bring your boomboxes and ghetto blasters, megaphones, noise makers, and anything else you can find to turn their ridiculous hatemongering event into a party worthy of old Sodom! That's really all it should mean when these subhuman fascists come to town: an excuse to have a day out letting your queer (or queer-enabler) flag fly! One thing to note: As satisfying as it might be to punch one of these Westboro creeps in the face, do NOT physically engage them. They are notoriously litigious and try to provoke people into acts of violence. This is one way Phelps sacrifices the safety of his followers to line his coffers. Otherwise, have a ball!

Even tho the WBC preach hate and intolerance they are so ridiculous in their beliefs that very few folks take them seriously. It should be quite a show so if you have absolutely nothing better to do bring a lawn chair and some popcorn.

But they are doing it on Sunday at time when people are going into the church. Guaranteeing an audience for their hate. I think no one should show up cause that what keeps this group going.

Nah. or What if WBC came to protest and nobody showed up to see them, no cameras, nada. They live for publicity.
