Westboro Cult Publishes Flyer: “Thank God for 125 Dead in Joplin” – Plan to Protest Funerals
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, May 26, 2011, 12:05 PM
The Westboro cult wrote on its website this week, “Thank God for 125 Dead in Joplin.” They plan on protesting at the funerals of the tornado this victims this weekend.
KSPR reported:
The controversial Westboro Baptist Church is planning to protest President Obama’s visit to Joplin, Missouri Sunday.
On its website, the church writes, “Thank God for 125 dead in Joplin.” Church members claim Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has attacked them by promoting laws banning them from protesting at soldiers’ funerals.
President Obama is planning to visit the tornado-ravaged city this Sunday. A memorial is also planned that day for the 125 people who lost their lives in the tornado.
Nixon said Wednesday that the community “must come together and seek a higher power’s assistance.” He said it was appropriate the community gather as one on Memorial Day weekend to remember those who have died in the tornado.

I do thank God for each and every person who lost their lives that day in Joplin, and I trust God’s mercy and faithfulness. They touched people’s lives and were loved by others. Their lives were worth living, and for whatever reason God chose that day to be their last, it is in His perfect will.
I will continue to thank God and praise God through this storm and the many storms ahead. I will remember those who were taken from this earth on that very fateful day, and I will thank God, along with the loved ones of the deceased, for their lives and their contributions. May God continue to bless their families and to hold them during this very difficult time.
I thank God that not one Westboro cult member will be spending any eternity near me and others who love Jesus Christ.

Those Wetburro Batsh*t Cultholes need to FOADIAF.
Jugears Clusterf**k McOverpar needs to keep his skinny half-black ass the hell away from Missouri in general and Joplin in particular.
These people need this retard and his entourage and the inherent headaches they bring to come to their area like they need another tornado.
sliderblaze commented:
these people are sick. When one of their clan dies can I attend one of THEIR funerals with my sign “thank god for dead dbags”?
Robert commented:
Time for disruption. It is long past time for these loony activists to be silenced.
We already have precedent of people saying certain things and they are then completely ostracized and removed from public view. We also have the precedent of speech leading to violence being prohibited. Either of these consequences could be applied to the Westboro cult.
These people are nothing more than a circus show, and their speech has no redeeming value whatsoever to society, especially in the circumstances which they choose to practice.
The state should look the other way, and the people should deal with these miscreants as they see fit.
ProLifer commented:
What the hell is wrong with these people???

Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.
Militant Conservative commented:
Those folks are just as sick as Jarrod Loughner.

Nelle commented:
You mean the “Vile Westboro Cult”, don’t you? Can we stop dignifying them by calling them Baptist or a church?
Robert commented:
For friends and loved ones of the victims, the words printed on the website could definitely be construed as “fighting words”. There is a legal precedence for that concept. Therefore, these individuals could be excused for confronting the Westboro cult with sufficient means to prevent their offensive speech.
Brian The Adequate commented:
Why publish this? If everyone ignored these morons, they would go away.
Doc54 commented:
that group is a complete bunch of LUNITICS…….redeeming factor is know when they are dead they will be with all the islamist terrorists in hell !
Nelle commented:
Meant that for KSPR, not you, Jim. The msm needs to follow your example.
Andrew commented:
Folks! There is a template for dealing with these people. It was established a few months ago in Mississippi. People in Joplin should research it.
Doc54 commented:
your correct Andrew, that was the perfect plan that took place there !
Johnny commented:
Be a shame if something happened to them on their way to Joplin.
Georg Felis commented:
Can somebody please get a giant inflatable vulture to park behind this cult whenever they picket somewhere?
ponderon commented:
I’m so sick of people like this hiding behind church to spew their hate, this is no church of God,they are using the church to give them cover to justifly their hate. Their no different from Wright,Jackson,Sharpton……………
Rebellious Kafir commented:
This is the last f’in thing I need to see today–not when my community is recovering from yet another round of storms and nerves are stretched to the breaking point. These disgusting vermin need to be stopped. I am sick of their right to be as hateful and hurtful as they want to be, but the rest of us have to just keep taking their garbage. There IS no first amendment right to hate speech–and that is exactly what these pukes are doing. Evil, Evil people!
Missy8s commented:
Remember guys, the ass hole masquerading is a REGISTERED DEMOCRAT that has run for congress and the senate in years past.
He has one mission and that is acting as an agent of chaos in the service of hateful political opportunists in the DNC hierarchy to discredit and undermine ALL religions.
Robert commented:
The Westboro cult is abusing the freedoms of religion and speech in order to torment innocent people in their most trying times. Lawyers and legal observers can debate the constitutional specifics all they want, but they are missing the wider concept of general decency versus inhumane harassment.
Often, a constitutional argument fails to address the question of what is really better for society, leading to the travesties of legal jurisprudence which torture American decency on an ongoing basis.
Paul_In_Houston commented:
If this is true, “depravity” has just been redefined.

averagemelon commented:
You cannot “protest” to dead people. The live people involved have nothing to do with the governor of the state and his enterage. THIS IS HARASSMENT. It fits the lawful definition.
May God himself smite the Westboro Baptist Church. I pray for divine justice in Jesus’s name.
tommy mc donnell commented:
the westboro cult uses freedom of religion the same way the muslims do.
lakewriter commented:
who in the hell could find pleasure in another man’s sorrow? I’d like to think I wouldn’t find pleasure should some misfortunate fall on any of the Westboro members, however…. but can I just say they would have earned that ‘honor?’ These kids and adults were tragic victims of a storm. Parents were celebrating their graduation. Who in hell…but I repeat myself, only because there are no words or adjectives fitting for this vile group.
RedBeard commented:
Fred Phelps and his clan of twisted deviant cretins are going to be very disapponted, confused and frightened on judgement day.
A fist to the jaw of each one would be quite well deserved, but that’s what they hope for. Anything they can use to file a lawsuit.
Of course, accidents will happen, like the time their tires all went flat while they were out carrying their hate signs. That must have been a bit of bother for them. Be a shame if it happened again.
Warthog commented:
I imagine that a freak hail-storm will come along and bust all the windows on only their vehicles.
(Followed by a freak forest-fire that… well, you know.)
surfcitysocal commented:
Tolerating these vile human beings of Westboro in the name of freedom is extremely difficult. Their insanity is disturbing.
Jerry C commented:
Westboro Rapist Cult are all lawyers and family members to boot. They make their money by filing lawsuits, so I bet they write-off all costs of their “protests” as a business expense. There is nothing about them that is Godly. A church maybe, but a satanic one at best.
Oxycon commented:
I can’t say what I’m thinking about these despicable sub humans.

Vile Leftist Westboro Activists who won’t disclose their funding sources works, too.

Where’s the Joplin chapter of the Hell’s Angels, when they’re truly needed. Stomp Phelps guts out. Please.

Am I the only one to notice these types of FBI-investigation-inviting comments?
(I feel like the dang school hall-monitor sometimes… with comments like that, somebody’s gotta say something — it might as well be me.)
Mark S. commented:
Dont’ forget what the guys in Mississippi did.. No fights, no insults; the Mississippi boys just left their vehicles in parking lots where the Westboro crew couldn’t get out… and the tow-truck services weren’t available. I’m thinking more of the same if these a-holes decide to show up in Joplin.
the Boodge commented:
“There IS no first amendment right to hate speech”
Wrong, its called free speech! You may disagree with these folks, but they have the right to say what they want, just like I have the right to say I HATE them all (Westboro) and wish them all a horrible painful death!
TiminPhx commented:
These sick SOBs get the coverage they do, just like the guy who was saying the rapture would happen on the 21st.
It’s an attack by the media to insult all of Christianity. Yes, I know it has NOTHING to do with the 99% of Christains in the country. And yes, I know there are far more Leftists tickled to try and use these tornados as “proof” of global warming.
The word Cult and that’s what it is, must be used again and again.
Comments suggesting violences shouldn’t be allowed, but neither should a self-righteous, “look how special I am at deploring those comments” be celebrated.
It’s natural to hate people doing evil, threatening to add further trauma to innocents suffereing. Threats, suggestions of violence shouldn’t be allowed, but I think it’s understandable that inital feeling is going to happen.
jony101 commented:
Anyone who protests obama can’t be all that bad. Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer. It’s a win win for everybody, worst case scenario the secret service and obamas union thugs will bust some westboro heads. The Joplin community will survive this minor obama photo op.
Ang commented:
I live in KS but I’m from Springfield and Ill just say this, trust me this will not go well for Westboro Church, your messing with the wrong people.
Ang commented:
The people of Northern Mo were one of the very first towns to negate a planned protest of a soldiers funeral by surrounding them and not letting them anywhere close. Oklahoma then Mississippi followed non violent remedies. Proud Missourian.
SandyfromChesterfield commented:
The Westboro cult disgusts me!
Larry Sheldon commented:
I have made a decision.
I am going to remove from my “Must Read Daily” list blogs and others that give ANY “ink” to the Kansas Baptists. They feed on you and they would die if you all would stop catering to their every need.
platypus commented:
Anybody notice that these guys are as fascinated with death as jihadists are?
We are about life – our enemies are about death. It’s really that simple.
AE commented:
I think the grief of family members of a serviceman, where the possibility of death was understood, but handled with honor is different from the general public in a tragedy. They are eventually going to cross the wrong people who lack restraint.
Randy commented:
Ever notice how these chickensXXt losers hide behind the children? Thayer are no better than the terrorist we are hunting down.
campfollower commented:
Did anyone read what the good people of Mississippi did to the Westboro cultnuts? I believe their vehicles with the Kansas tags were accidentally blocked in their hotel rooms and then when they tried to deal with it, a strange robbery or something had occurred locally and the police hauled them in to answer questions as witnesses, which somehow took enough hours that the U.S. Marine who was being buried was laid to rest in peace and his grieving family did not have to deal with them.
I’m too far to go to Joplin, but certainly there are some really great folks nearby who could assist the Joplin police in making such a diversion happen. We don’t have to beat hell out of them, but we CAN frustrate them to death. What complete scum. Anyone who can remain heartless at the losses felt from weather this spring must be absolutely sociopathic.

“Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive”
wanumba commented:
Westboro would shrivel up fast once the funding sources are made public. The media is singularly incurious about he background and finances of this so-called “religious” gang. If it were REAL Baptists protesting abortion clinics, the media would be VERY interested in exposing donors, if it was a Second Amendment gun club, the media would be publishing the concealed carry permit names and addresses.
But Westboro, formerly known as “I work for Al Gore, Democrat Pagan” SOMEHOW makes the “freedom of religion” Official Media Ignore Pass.
Guarantee that Westboro is actually a HINDU cult. If they are exposed for WHO they REALLY are, they will vanish for a little while, and then return in another form.

WBM commented:
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Westboro Cult get a “Reception” – a beating, tires slashed, no gas sold to these assclowns that have happened before…..
Iconoclast commented:
I hope the people of Joplin & environs give these vermin the same sort of welcome they met in MS. And if some of the Westboro scum should ever venture out of view of witnesses I hope there are some patriotic Americans around to administer a detailed lesson in respect for the bereaved. Lot of debris on the roads after a tornado. Be a real shame if every Westboro vehicle picked up some roofing nails in every tire and no one would within sell them replacements, shelter, food or fluids. Long miserable walk back to KS . . . . Just sayin’.
ginghamturtle commented:
I live in Mississippi and I know a couple of guys who are in the mood for a road trip. These morons from Westboro Baptist Church have some serious bad Karma headed their way.
Joe commented:
They people of Joplin MO have nothing left to lose. That being said there is nothing to lose by knocking a few of these idiots up side the head with whatever is laying around and readily available. If Obama had any decency or backbone he would issue an executive order banning them from stepping foot into any area within 100 miles of Joplin MO. And he should. Otherwise I feel that a second round of hell on earth may be about to be unleashed on the hateful people of westboro.
marcos commented:
In 1993 at the gay rights march on Washington, the Westboro freakazoids were protesting in front of the White House before they’d made their name for themselves. A hetero friend of ours snagged Phred Felps’ leather clad bible, which he’d left defiled, soiled on the sidewalk too close to Satan for its own good.
He gave it to me, and as we marched down Pennsylvania Avenue, I tore pages out of Phelps’ bible, wiped a dog’s poop chute with it, wadded the page up and threw them at christians protesting along the route.
Shake commented:
I can’t believe some of the comments here. The guy MAY be registered as a Democrat, but that no more gives him the support of most Democrats any more than he has the support of most Christians. He does run a church, which he claims is Christian. How many of you Christians are willing to claim him as one of your own?
No, I think the media is doing good to publish their plans. That way, folks know where to show up to counter-protest.
Dianna Anderson commented:
God is not a fool, nor will He/She be mocked. I ask you, the reasonable and sane people, to please consider this… Westboro knows nothing about Christ, nor being Christian… Instead of hating these poor wretches (albeit deservedly), please pray for their souls, that they will repent, change, and possibly be forgiven for their horrendous behavior and activities.
“For the love of Christ” is a often mis- or over-used phrase, but this is what these people need… Your prayers!
Shadowolf commented:
…a couple of points…
1) Phelps and his band of hate-filled pseudoChristians need to be stopped…LEGALLY!!!
2)There is nothing in Jesus’ teachings promising entrance to Heaven to hate filled idiots; quite the opposite…matter of fact,this also goes for all legitimate religions…INCLUDING Islam.
3)I heartily wish the ‘mark o’ the Beast’ would be terminal hemorrhoids, afflicting all those who attack the poor and infirm.{Can you imagine what Congress would be like if it were??? All the pols who are self-serving hypocrites would not be able to sit still for 5 minutes!!!}
Casper commented:
How can these sick twisted people call themselves christains?
