Westboro Baptist Church Protests, Gets Protested Outside Twitter – Asylum.com

Too funny! The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), consisting basically of Rev. Fred Phelps and his rather mentally askew family protested outside the offices of Twitter in San Francisco.

There were counter-protesters at the ready with some truly delightful signs.  A personal fave: God hates #tags! – a reference to the church’s official site, God Hates Fags and the hash tags used to find info about a particular topic on Twitter. Gay and geeky – gotta love it!

According to the article, one of the younger women from WBC was tweeting WHILE they were protesting Twitter. I am guessing that A) these folks didn’t have their irony detector turned on and B) she must have been chosen by virtue of having opposable thumbs and being able to walk upright, or something.

Kudos to those folks who met with the face of hatred and laughed right back at it!

Westboro Baptist Church Protests, Gets Protested Outside Twitter

Yesterday, the Westboro Baptist Church and their subtly-named picket group, God Hates Fags, brought their dog-and-pony-show to San Francisco. That’s right — the freaky people came to freak out the freaky people.
The religious group, based in Topeka, Kansas, usually pickets soldiers’ funerals, reasoning that they died defending a gay-loving country. Thursday, they set their sights on a larger target: the headquarters of the social-media giant Twitter.
