David Pakman: Westboro Baptist Church TACKLED by Soldier at Funeral

I know by now most if not all of us see the WBC for the litigious attention whores that they are, and normally I wouldn't bother posting a story about them, but this time a whole bunch of people finally got their wish...

income stream. When they are scheduled to likely show up at one of your events, do take the training that helps you resist their little income racket. The training is rather unpleasant - having people screaming in your face - but interesting to show how easily our buttons can be pushed. And they are good at it.
But yes, of course they - WBC- are scum.

Since their "Church" is pretty much a sham and mixing politics with religion, their 501c3 status should get ripped their money collected for back taxes and they should be shipped off and dumped in IRAN with a bunch of burkas.

They do all they can to provoke it.

They're lucky nobody got killed.

Imagine Westboro BC as a big lawsuit magnet. They exist to agitate people and then sue them when they strike back. They are the most disgusting of the bottom feeders. This poor guy is gonna get wrung dry in court. Damn, that must have felt good, though.

I despise these people! I have stood toe to toe, LITERALLY, with Fred Phelps. He is an infected anal hair pustule, and that is the NICEST thing I can say about him...trust me...I can be much more descriptive and nasty! BUT, they THRIVE on this! This is how they earn their money. But, G-d in Heaven, I wish I had been there!!!
