Fred Phelps And His Slimebuckets To Invade Denver

Oh goody, the Whackjob Bastard Crew is coming to the Rocky Mountains--and nope, we won't link to them. Spreading their unique Love Crusades hate-fests across the country, this time depositing their filth at the state capitol and U.S. Senator Ken Salazar's Denver office:

WBC to picket the pandering, demagogic, unfaithful Colorado Taliban masquerading as a Legislature - at 3:30 p.m., Thursday, Mar. 23, at the Statehouse, 200 E. Colfax, Denver - in religious protest & warning: "God is not mocked!" God Hates Fags! & Fag-Enablers! Ergo, God hates the Colorado Legislature traitorously plotting to criminalize WBC's anti-gay Gospel preaching at Military funerals. WBC will also simultaneously picket U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar at his official, tax-funded Denver office at 2300 15th St. - to peacefully assemble and petition our government for a redress of grievances: Their abominable policies have brought down the wrath of God upon us. "For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind." Hos. 8:7.

Not sure if the Patriot Guard Riders will be there (**apparently they will, see below), but the best option for all concerned--including the state legislators currently considering legislation to ban funeral protests--is to ignore their hatemongering rather than encouraging their hostile actions by giving them physical affirmation through counter-protests or legal recourse via the ACLU and constant publicity.

However, a good counter-demonstration would provide the necessary "welcome" to this refuse of society, and people of all religious and political affiliations should be encouraged to give them the Mile High Salute (the middle-finger kind).

Rocky Mountain News has more information on today's protests, and the sordid history of the WBC Phelps founded.
