A community portal about Westboro Baptist Church with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Westboro Baptist Church is a U.S. religious organization headed by Fred Phelps and based in Topeka, Kansas. It runs the website GodHatesFags.com , and GodHatesAmerica.com, and other websites expressing condemnation of homosexuals, Roman Catholics, Muslims and other groups. The organization is monitored by the Anti-Defamation League, and classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The group has achieved national notoriety in recent years due to their picketing of funeral processions for soldiers killed in combat, which functions as an extension of the Phelps' anti-United States beliefs.

A federal appeals court on Thursday tossed out a $5 million verdict against protesters who carried signs with inflammatory messages like "Thank God for dead soldiers" outside the Maryland funeral of a U.S. Marine killed in Iraq. A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the signs contained "imaginative and hyperbolic rhetoric" protected by the First Amendment. Such messages are intended to spark debate and cannot be reasonably read as factual assertions about an individual, the court said. A jury in Baltimore had awarded Albert Snyder damages for emotional distress and invasion of privacy. The 2006 funeral of Snyder's son, ... Read Full Story

It is really sick that Westboro Baptist Church, a hate group that travels around the country holding anti-gay rallies, protested outside the school attended by President Barack Obama's children Monday morning. The so-called church is pastored by Fred Phelps and is made up of mainly his extensive family.

Along with various schools, the church is also protesting outside the White House, the World War II memorial, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission field office. ThinkProgress , notes that one of the attendees (and Phelps' granddaughter) posted a ... Read Full Story

The notorious homophobes at the Westboro Baptist Church will take a break from picketing the funerals of dead soldiers to go after pop-punk outfit All Time Low. The "church" posted an explanation of the reasons for the protest in their schedule, but the gist is this: How do you know how far gone a society is? You look at their social icons. When you look at these gender-confused, haphazard freakazoids then you can plainly see that america...

We’ve debated before whether Westboro Baptist Church is worthy of newsprint. Probably not. But the group likely won’t go away if we simply ignore it, which seems to be what The Washington Post had in mind when leaving any mention of Westboro out of this story about their protest at the school the Obama girls attend.
