Megan Phelps has called out Anonymous on twitter, stating that their efforts to silence God's word are futile, and calling them cowards.

Personally, i think we are going to see some sparks fly in the coming days. This was a dumb move on Westboro's part. After seeing what happened to that security company, i cannot wait to see what Anonymous does in response.

[Update] Sadly this is a Hoax. Anonymous released a press statement regarding the WBC claiming that they did not antagonize the WBC at all.

Dear Phred Phelps and WBC Phriends,
So we've been hearing a lot about some letter that we supposedly sent you this morning. Problem is,
we're a bit groggy and don't remember sending it. Our best guess is that you heard about us on that
newfangled TV of yours and thought we might be some good money for your little church.
You thought you could play with Anonymous. You observed our rising notoriety and thought you
would exploit our paradigm for your own gain. And then, you thought you could lure some idiots into a
honeypot for more IPs to sue.
This is not so foreign to us; as you may have heard, we trade in Lulz. You just do not have enough to
offer right now.
While Anonymous thanks you for your interest, and would certainly like to take a break and have some
fun with you guys, we have more pressing matters to deal with at the moment.
But, we will keep this application on file, and will certainly contact you if any openings become
available in future.
Next time, don't call us. We'll call you.
Additionally, as your "Press Release" failed to understand: When Anonymous says we support free
speech, we mean it. We count Beatrice Hall among our Anonymous forebears: "I disapprove of what
you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
Do some among our number hate you and your cynical exploitation of your human rights for monetary
gain? Of course. But the MoralFags are also the first to admit that they are, in fact, your rights to
exploit.
In closing, let us assure you: We are not BAWWWING sissies, nor are we afraid of your false god;
we're just really busy. Stay tuned, and we'll come back to play another day.
We promise.
To the Media: Just because it was posted on AnonNews doesn't mean every single Anon is in
agreement, in fact in this case it doesn't even mean a single Anon is in agreement. Next time, if you
could give us a few minutes to put all our paperwork in order, we'll be sure to let you know what we're
up to. (LOL)
To Anonymous: It's a trap. They've got their ports wide open to harvest IPs to sue. Don't DDoS, and
boycott Operation Westboro. If you really want to continue messing with them, just send them a few
male prostitutes and faxes of goatse. Nothing more.
(Note: This letter was written by more than 20 Anons, at the same time, and none of them were inbred
family members. Unlike that other, shitty "Press Release".)
We are Anonymous.
We are legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.

Wow, they may not retaliate, but on the other hand, they may burn them all to the ground, I'm excited to see what becomes of this.

At least she's standing behind what she believes in. She's not crumpling down and letting Anon walk all over her. That takes balls.

It's just them trying to get more attention.
The best way for anonymous to get back at them would be to completely ignore their remarks.

Sadly I doubt that'll happen.

Give me 30 Minutes.

Is it sad that I slightly look up to Anon.

They haven't had much to complain and protest about lately. Transparent attention whore move is transparent.

I face palmed when I saw that.

..Seriously that response she made is not only vivid or dull, but it certainly makes me wonder if she actually knows what she is talking about. And it is on Twitter too..it's not even in person so this just makes her look bad for calling them cowards. Like, just look at this:
I'm Christian but her response doesn't relate to God. I mean, she even called them cowards, which I doubt they are if they are willing to take Westboro down with a fight in hand. I wonder what the people in Westboro Church even get out of this anyways. Do they like disciminating people and involving God with it? That's ill-minded I must say, no offense.
No offence? It's the truth. The WBC is not a Christian organisation. They are Real life trolls, plain and simple, they are stains upon the world who not only give good Christians like you[footnote]A profile stalker is me[/footnote] a bad name. but they also give the "people = shit" nay-sayers fuel for their misanthropic tendencies.
All in all, they are not nice people, who abuse their right to free speech to preach hate and ignorance. And now they are antagonising a group that is currently making a mockery of the FBI? Looks like they've lost what little plot they had left. -.-

It's one thing to strike the hornet's nest, but this is like pissing on someone's leg in prison. They're just BEGGING for Anon to hand them their ass at this point.

Praise be to Anonymous, Hive-mind god of the Internets! Let the fury of Legion be swift and unrelenting in its glory!

Well this is one battle where I'm rooting for Anonymous. I hope WBC gets a nice big dose of what's coming to them.

Anonymous hates WBC because they don't like the competition.

Think about it: Anonymous hates liberals, homosexuals, etc.... WBC actually one ups Anonymous by not being as racist.

They're true villains, that you can't beat unless you're willing to sink down to their level.

Now they're calling out Anon? The group thats like a cyber-batman, who half haphazardly saves the day and rubs his ballsack over Alfred's face while he sleeps.

This is the ultimate battle of Evil versus Evil

Judging by the fact that the WBCs open letter to Anon - which was in my recently closed tabs from the thread about it last night - won't load, it would appear that DDoS attacks have shut down the WBC site. It's a good start, but I'm still waiting for Anon to get a hold of some WBC passwords and phone numbers and really go to town.

This made me laugh so hard. Oh I fixed a little something in there though. Go Anon!

I feel like a hobo just made fun of an internet version of the Godfather... a weird simile but it gets the point across.
