I’m sure I don’t have to tell anyone about the Westboro Baptist Church and their “God Hates Fags” (and just about everyone else) campaign.
Well, the bad news is that they’re bringing their fear and hatred to Vermont. On Tuesday, September 1, they’re planning to protest at the Montpelier High School from 7:20 to 7:50 am, then go to the Vermont State House from 7:55 to 8:25 am, finishing up at the Montpelier City Clerk’s office from 8:30 to 9 am. Rather than paraphrase their hate-filled “press release,” I’ll post it after the fold.
A warning, though, don’t go to the jump if you don’t want to see the hate.
WBC WILL PICKET THE FAG-INFESTED, PERVERT-RUN MONTPELIER HIGH SCHOOL
Montpelier High School, 5 High School Dr., Montpelier, VT
Tuesday September 1, 2009, from 7:20 to 7:50 am.We will give your children an opportunity to see what good looks like, to see the face of what they were entitled to have from every adult that has ever touched their lives! You hate God’s standards, and He hates you!
God hates you, Doomed america, for what you have done to your children! Here is the COMMANDMENT from your God:
“And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and thou shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates” Deuteronomy 6:6-9
You did not obey; you corrupted them from the womb, so God gave you violent, freakish, worthless, brute-beast children! You hate your children, and next, YOU WILL EAT YOUR CHILDREN. YES! Your antichrist, seated in the White House as the result of your sins, will pass a decree saying you MUST eat your children!
Time for some Bitch Burgers, Obama Fries & Simple Slut Shakes!
Read the words: Deut. 28:53-58; Lev. 26-29
Fear God, and give the Glory to HIM, for the hour of HIS judgement is come.GOD’S CURSE IS ON YOUR BRATS, DOOMED aMERICA
But wait, there’s also a special message for the Legislature:
GOD HATES VERMONT.

And that’s not all. Apparently God, or at least Rev. Fred Phelps and his followers, also hate Jews. After they get done hating gays, children, legislators, and town officials in Montpelier, it looks like they’re going head up to Burlington to hate a few Jews:

“And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently uno thy children.” Deut 6:6-7.
“But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all of his commandments… thou shalt eat the fruit of then own body, the flesh of they sons and of they daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee… in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee.” Deut. 28:15, 53.You Jews have taught your children that God is a liar, and that they can commit abomination with impunity because they are of the children of Israel. Now, the hearts of your young people are hardened against God, even as they’re shot and killed in your centers of idolatry. Because you refuse to repent and return to the God of your covenant, He’ll cause the nations to march on Jerusalem, to afflict Jewry as never before, & you will eat your children.
This little gem was accompanied by a photo of children, apparently creating some sort of temporary memorial. WBC’s caption:
Young Jews mourn fags slain by God in Tel Aviv.
Sorry for all the hate, folks. I know how angry this makes me feel, and I’m not a particularly sensitive person. So I know some people will find this extremely distressing to read. But I do think it’s important not only to know that these folks are headed for our fair state, but also to know exactly what kind of hate they’re capable of.
I’m thinking it’s important to set up a counter-demonstration. How about this for a title: Montpelier Says No to Hate.
It’s clear from the rhetoric that they are looking for confrontation. These people are insane and haven’t a hope in hell of persuading anyone otherwise. Just treat them as you would some poor lunatic wandering near Madison Square Gardens wearing tinfoil on his head and braying at the moon. They’re nuts and do not warrent the validation of even our passing attentioin.
I agree. Ignore them. Though I’ve already received emails taking them seriously and trying to organize a silent vigil. Just what they would like.
…then we’d ignore them.
But it’s just impossible to keep everyone from going out to engage them, especially when they are so vitriolic. I think really the only way to do it is to counter their numbers :-/
dilute the message.
Some years ago, during the original civil unions debate, these rather strange folks from Westboro Baptist were kind enough to visit Montpelier to let us know how much god hated both those not like the Kansas visitors and Vermont in general.
There was a call for a counter demonstration, so I attended.
On my way into Montpelier I stopped and purchased materials suitable for a 2′ x 3′ poster, and on that poster I wrote “These Kansas folks sure are a queer Lott” (the reference to Trent Lott was because he had recently made some assinine comment regarding gays … long since lost in my minds cavernous chambers).
Upon arriving I joined not the counter-demonstration but those queer Kansas folk. I stood shoulder to shoulder with them the entire time until they left.
I was sorry more didn’t pick up on my simple little tactic.
If I can attend I will, but I won’t be “counter-demonstrating”. I’ll be doing the dilution thing again.
I ate way too many Bitch Burgers, Obama Fries & Simple Slut Shakes at the Addison County Field Days.
Them things cause some serious indigestion.
Spreading the word… http://houseoflemay.blog-city….
I commend the post-ers who suggested ridicule. It seemed to work like a charm in Knoxville against the KKK:

Some recommendations for our Kansas visitors:
-“God hates bags?”
-“God hates nags?”
-“Todd’s weight sags?”
Does anyone know any local clowns?
I have a question for the parents out there. How do you raise kids to be open-minded and free of hate? It’s scary seeing the birthers, deathers, and tea baggers along with the Limbo’s, Beaudry’s and other hate outlets. Should you shelter kids from this or expose them and let them know how crazy these people are and why they are wrong?
Any suggestions?
Here’s a good idea, let’s invite Dick Cheney for the day, give him a nice new pump shotgun and let a bunch of caged birds loose in front of the whackos.
I’d just stand across the street, laughing and pointing.
I think that everyone should ignore them completely, but do it completely naked and holding hands. They think we are heathens, so lets show them that we don’t care what they think, and do it in a way that they find immoral, but is legal here. Can you imagine their response if no one said anything, just strode by in the nude?
