City of Houston probably spent $10,000 - $15,000 providing protection for four of these hate mongers to spread their venom around our city on a Sunday and Monday. If they choose to go out in public to incite and be inflammatory, why should I pay for their protection? I'm subsidizing their brand of hate. Sure they have free speech, but if they want to be stupid about it and put themselves into situations where they intend to cause conflict, why should I pay for their fun?

Now I have a image of Billy Graham in a yamaka.

OK, I'm laughing. Couldn't find a pic of Rev. Graham in a yarmulke, but I think there's one out there. I did find some pictures however of the pope wearing one.

You'd laugh at some of the pics I have of those WBC clowns. But as their signage is somewhat vulgar, I won't post them here. I put on a tinfoil hat while I was taking their pictures, they weren't amused.

This group is about as Baptist as I am. No correlation whatsoever.

I would post pictures of these hate monkeys from when they visited Houston in January, but it would violate forum decency requirements.

I monitored WBC at three locations and had a few interesting interactions with them and managed to frustrate some of their plans. They thrive on negative attention. At the Holocaust Museum they were completely shut down by motorcyclists revving their engines. That the bikers, (and this was not an official Patriot Guard Riders group), chose the Holocaust Museum memorial as the place to take a stand against these hate mongers speaks volumes to the character of those riders who came a very long distance on a very cold morning.

What made Shirley Phelps totally loose her cool was when a Christian with a Bible told her, "We forgive you." She went ape over that one, it was really amusing listening to her cursing and losing her composure over someone making a very Christian comment to this 'devout' and 'pious' creature. One of her daughters froze in contemplation when I asked her "Wouldn't you rather be shopping at the mall, my daughter will give you a ride and show you some cool stores." It's borderline child abuse how Phelps is raising her daughters to be so hateful.

WBC supports itself on lawsuits against people who obstruct their freedom of speech. They will videotape your response to them. They are highly organized and very sophisticated in knowing how far they can push the limits of the law.

These fine Americans pictured below took a stand against hate on a very cold morning. When WBC started spewing their venom, these riders turned their backs on them and started revving their engines to drown out the hate speech. The museum opened their doors early to provide hot coffee to the riders and about half of them stayed for a private museum tour. The docent told me it was one of the best groups he's taken through the museum and it was a moving experience for all. If any of you are interested in taking a group from your church or other organization on a tour of this museum, PM me and I'll arrange a private tour.
