On Saturday, Dec. 15, Shirley Phelps-Roper announced that the Westboro Baptist Church would picket Sandy Hook Elementary School located in Newtown, Connecticut, with the following tweet:
Westboro will picket Sandy Hook Elementary School to sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgment.
In response, Anonymous released the personal contact information of members of the Westboro Baptist Church, including the home address, email address and phone number of numerous church members.
Preaching a hate filled gospel so obnoxious most Christians reject their teaching, the Westboro Baptist Church is an anti-gay Christian fundamentalist church notorious for its "God Hates Fags" signs and the picketing of soldiers funerals.
In addition to the release of personal information belonging to the church, Anonymous is also promoting a petition at whitehouse.gov asking the Obama administration to legally recognize the Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group. The petition notes that the church has been recognized as a hate group by organizations, such as The Southern Poverty Law Center, and has repeatedly displayed the actions typical of hate groups.

(14,177 posts)Westboro is celebrating. They love death and mayhem so they can blame the sinners. No word from them what those kids did that God saw fit that he allowed them to be slaughtered. Those asshats make me sick. But, it is sick to call them protesters as well. Protesters address human rights issues and try to make the world a better place. Westboro not so much.
