this witch, they go on to say, i want to emphasize these are their words from their website, spent her life in defines and disobedience to god and blasphemed him with her dying breath. i m not going to read you any more of what they say on their website, it frankly rambles on with this, talking about cancer is god s punishment, et cetera. i m not going to turn this into a sunday school class and not presume to tell you what the bible says. but to use elizabeth edwards funeral, to use the funeral of a service member, anybody s funeral to promote yourself, to hurt others as this church routinely does, it may be constitutional and the supreme court is going to decide that, but it is certainly unconscionable. after reporting about a arkansas school board member who posted a rant on facebook saying he liked to see gay people die, i found myself the target of this sorry little group. the head of the group, fred phelps posted this video online directed to me. who do you think you are? a mu
god s punishment for the country tolerating gays and lesbians. their actions and whether or not it should be protected by the first amendment is now being decided by the supreme court. we talk about it tonight, however, because tomorrow the group will protest outside the funeral of elizabeth edwards in raleigh, north carolina. in a moment you ll hear from some good people who are planning to drown out this group s hate with love. we ve always avoided even mentioning this church on this program because we haven t frankly wanted to give them any publicity. but because the supreme court is now considering the issues this church raises we thought it worthwhile just to look at what they do and more importantly what a lot of other americans do to stand up to their bullying. this is how far the church describes what they plan to do at elizabeth edwards funeral tomorrow. and i want to warn you, the language they use is ugly. wbc, they write, will picket a respectful distance from the funeral
people were coming, that they were going to try to do something with this, it was just i felt like it was something i needed to do. and i needed to say something and and say something to the bully in the front yard, basically, is what i felt like doing. and facebook kind of gave me the opportunity to do that. ben, i heard you say that success for you would be of sunday morning the headlines read, elizabeth edwards quietly laid to rest. absolutely. absolutely. this isn t about me. i think susan would agree. this isn t about us, it s not about the thousands of people from the local community and abroad that are going to come over and help protest, spread the love. it s certainly not about the westboro group. this is about human decency and common courtesy. susan, how do you plan to do this tomorrow? obviously you don t want this to turn into some sort of yelling protest or anything.
abroad that are going to come over and help protest, spread the love. it s certainly not about the westboro group. this is about human decency and common courtesy. susan, how do you plan to do this tomorrow? obviously you don t want this to turn into some sort of yelling protest or anything. no. we were talking about this, the original post that i did was to create a human barrier between the protesters and the funeral itself. but luckily the raleigh police have decided to make to do that on their own. and they re cordoning off the area for the church. so what we re going to be doing is maybe, maybe even singing hymns and christmas carols. if we get 200 to 500 people out there singing and just bringing out the love, then their hate can t be heard.
myself the target of this sorry little group. the head of the group, fred phelps, posted this online. who do you think you are? a muckraking little news prostitute to be passing out spiritual advice on matters such as sin and righteousness and judgment to come. you are in the bailey wick of westboro baptist church you anti-christ smart alec. i really don t mean to be smart alec here but i did have to look up what bailey wick meant and it means i m on their radar. as for news prostitute, i didn t have to look that one up. we at westboro baptist church are offering up special prayers for you. they re called imprecatory prayers. psalm 109 is an example of imprecatory prayers.
