How to respond to WBC’s lunacy

| »

You thought Westboro were ridiculous? Apparently, Fred Phelps and his motley gang of inbred bigots descended in San Francisco last Thursday to carry out their usual silly picketing and disclaiming how much God hates us all. (Particularly them, I’d say.)

Now, here’s the newsworthy bit: guess what they were picketing? Frisco’s Twitter offices. Yeah … I know.

Thankfully, though, San Francisco was cordial enough to provide us with some delightful counter-protesters for our enjoyment.

There are several more marvelous pics where those came from; you owe it to yourself (and the lulz) to check them out. This is a perfect example showing how to properly deal with Westboro’s nonsense; they deserve nothing but ridicule and derision. Getting angry just spurs them on.
