This can't end well; Westboro wing nutts send an open letter to Anonymous

[Treblaine]

As Henry Kisinger put it:

"it's pity they can't both lose"

Or maybe they can? These two groups are made for each other, I myself will pitch out some lawn chairs with a bowl of popcorn to watch the fireworks fly.

 

[Verlander]

Eh, I'd actually like to see something creative from Anon this time. Maybe replacing the entire site with an alturnate one explaining the research of Darwin?

I don't think the WBC are creationists. I may be wrong, but yeah.

I said it earlier, giving these guys more attention is what the WBC wants. Short of acting illegally in the "real" world, like emptying bank accounts, or causing members of the church physical harm, anything else that Anon do, will just be benefiting the WBC.

I'm just waiting to see the headline in a Toronto newspaper "Anonymous' proves God does not exist."

I for one would love to see that headline, as it would mean that a bunch of bored kids with slight hacking knowledge had outsmarted some of the greatest minds ever to walk this planet. If you don't believe in God, fine (I don't) but by His very definition, you cannot disprove Him. Remember, atheism is just a belief as well

Come on now, I can't be the only one who finds this situation ironic. A group of people who advocate free speech everywhere is threatening to attack a group of people because they use that right. I don't care how small of a minority they are, they have a right to preach their own thoughts and Anon, of all people, should respect that right.

Its hypocritical and rather silly. Attacking the WBC is like fighting a puppy. There is no point to it and these guys are persistent. Taking down their site is not gonna do anything.

Am I the only one who sees the difference between free speech and continuous public harassment, very apparently noticed in WBC's actions? Like f. ex. crashing a funeral protesting, if done by bikers, they'd get locked up, but since it's done by religious nuts, somehow that's protected?

 

[Hookman]

Oh dear lord its hard to breathe through the laughter!!!
Lets see if God saves their various websites!
Hahahahahahaha!!!
Oh, I just burst a lung!

 

[Lukeje]

If this was actually written by WBC then I think they have won at trolling. Never have I read a greater piece of flamebait.

Perhaps NSFW.

It's kinda funny how many people on /b/ are just asking everyone to stay quiet or send sarcastic 'surrender' messages so that the attention whores can't garner any more, well, attention.

 

[The Code]

But how do you "clear up" something like this aside from effectively shunning them by ignoring them? You can't forcibly make them disband or force them to shut up. They are protected from that by the first amendment. What else can you do aside from what is already being done?

How? It's actually quite simple. Wait for them to protest something in Texas, then feed them each a hot bowl of lead salad. Once in court for the 'homicide' of those idiots, claim not guilty on the grounds of justifiable homicide. "They needed killin', your Honor." After saying that, simply prove that they did indeed need killin'. With all the crap they've done over the years, that should prove to be easier than convicting the Zodiac killer.

Erm.....have you seen any footage of these people? They are dispicable bastards. Just because you have the right to say what you want doesent mean your immune from becoming a complete piece of shit that is RIGHTLY despised worldwide.

Why should anyone respect the right of a group of people who actively go out of their way to cause heartache to the already distressed? What they are doing is totally devoid of compassion or understanding, therefore they DONT deserve the same in return. THAT is whats fair.

Anonymous....HAVE AT THEM!

Trolls fighting trolls.

This will get interesting.

My favourite was the guy requesting that everyone send texts of `Not your personal army' to Fred Phelps. Simple but effective.

 

[Bloodstain]

Why is everything bold and italic? It doesn't look like a letter, it looks like a cheap article from The Sun.

"Anonymous' proves God does not exist."

Wow...I cannot imagine the awesome.

 

[subject_87]

Incidentally, I've often wondered what the hell kind of moon-theology Fred Phelps and co. are running on, as they're as far removed from the entire point of the Bible, i.e. 'be a decent person', as I am from the far side of Jupiter. The link didn't work for me, (woo DDoS!) so I couldn't see what hilarious/pathetic stuff they're doing now.

 

[The Last Hunter]

Pull up a chair, ladies and gentlemen

This is gonna be good

 

[liveslowdiefast]

This is going to be hilarious! Bookmarking godhatesfags.com, so I get to see when they actually hack it ^^

You sir are a genius!

Somebody bring out the popcorn.

 

[rokkolpo]

I can't see it!

Can anyone copy-paste it to a PM to me?
Thanks if you would.

EDIT: Nvm it worked

I read their letter to the WBC, and they said that they initially allowed their point-of-view to be held without any confilct, but they said that because of their behaviour, they can't just stand by and watch their actions

Link the letter there, just got it today in Google Reader Play.

Readin the comments below the article on that link, and I can't help but agree with the guy at the top, who said:

The bully, in my view, is the one who is trying to forcibly silence the other. ?Aggressive proponents for the freedom of speech,? my ass.

It's the hypocrisy of it all which makes Anon look stupid in this situation, which is worrying to me as I abhor the WBC

 

[irani_che]

I always thought WBC was a branch of Anon.
they srsly are the biggest trolls i have ever seen
