Something I like about them is that they're honest. I prefer an open enemy to religious hypocrites who talk about how they "love" gay people and then do everything they can to harm us.

Those are the worst reasons I've ever heard to justify "liking" this hateful, woefully deluded group of dangerously psychotic nut bags. :rolleyes:

I didn't say I liked them. I said there was one thing I liked about them.

Fred Phelps is a psycho and all his children were abused and brutalized, which helps to explain why most of them are so screwed up. It wouldn't be surprising if the cycle is being perpetuated at the expense of the grandchildren.

They give away their itinerary so you can protest their protest?

They pretty much have to, since people hate them so much they need police protection. But they want angry counter-protesters. They enjoy the hatred. In the case of Fred and his daughter Shirley, it seems to be the one thing more than all others that makes them feel alive. It's tragic, really, to see what happens to a person who gives himself over so completely to hatred.

There is nothing good about the Westboro Baptist Church.
I disagree.
They are up front in your face honest with their bigotry, homophobia, etc.

Not like those who preach to millions how gays are sinful ******** headed straight for hell then leave the church for some hot homosexual action while high on drugs.

If anything the one thing to like about them is that they will turn millions religious conservatives off of homophobia. This is because while religious conservatives tend to be homophobes, they are also very patriotic. The anti-American bile that spews from Fred Phelps' mouth will only serve to alienate those religious conservatives and make homophobia look ridiculous and stupid.

What I like is how easy it is to make fun of them. They are so ridiculous, it's hard not to laugh.

If that evil family lived in the UK, I hope the Social Services would have removed the young children from their abusive custody.

I will accept that they at least are the honest enemy.

I also like that the main members are aging. I am currently working on a plan for a block party when FP dies. 'Course I plan to have that party when Robertson goes too, so which ever kicks it first gets the party.

How was this found out?

At least one of his sons has escaped and did a rather candid interview not too long ago. There I believe was also a journalist that managed to embed with them for some time. I will try to find the links.

You know, I would say that the "in your face honesty" is a good thing... I mean, they are equal opportunity haters. You can see them coming instead of a knife slipping in your back from behind...

but, that just further proves how insane they are. They are still hypocrites. You know they still think girl on girl action is hot. You know they still have desires and faults like any other human. The only difference is, instead of quietly playing it off and then quietly damming it to hell, Westboro is loudly and violently playing it off and loudly and violently damming it to hell.
