GOD HATES TOLERANCE

I caught the god hates gays and America rally. It was nothing out of the expected for anyone who knows anything about the Westboro Baptist Church and Berkeley. About 20 protesters toted signs praising the Beltway Sniper, Sept 11 terrorists, Jesus, and AIDS. They were nothing to talk to; the adults tried to get the police to prevent me from talking to anyone (I was trying to make trouble they said!) but a few young teens were eager to give me incoherent answers and bad theology. They're basically Puritans, just a little more hypocritical.

They were met by about four dozen anti protesters including a majority homosexual contingent, curious liberals, and, of course, the omni-present BAMN and Sparatcus Youth League (and, expectedly, SYL was all 30 and 40 yr olds). Unfortunately, there were no conservatives or Christian groups there to prove that the Fred Phelps bunch misrepresents the right and Jesus.

I had a lot of fun with a GOD HATES STANFURD sign, getting laughs and a cheer when I stood with the Krazy Kansasns. That's the way these people need to be treated: with disregard instead of seriousness. Whenever anyone offers you a chance to go spoof a protest, take advantage of it.
