A Special Message from Le Clown
White Baby Jesus™ and Le Clown have worked together to create a very special secular XMAS™ e-card. Being engulfed by the holiday spirit, Le Clown would like to send an e-card, with a very special message, to the Westboro Baptists Church folks. However, Pastor Fred Phelps is ignoring my tweets, and does not seem interested in my e-card, which makes me a sad clown, and as I've said many times before, a sad Le Clown is an ugly Le Clown.
Not much I can add here; the members of Westboro Baptist Church are evil and insane.
Um…you do realize you’re running at windmills here, right? No one will be able to get through to those asswads at WBC so why waste the energy?
The WBC are so well-trained in their hate and their message that it’s not worth it.
If you want to do something that will make a difference more than supporting a Clash of the Egos, try donating money to the James Brady Campaign. Your money will more than likely make a difference.
What makes you think I don’t contribute to campaigns that act against these groups?
If it makes people feel better to vent and express their feelings, what’s wrong with it? I don’t think anyone here *really* thinks that any of these jackasses will read these things, much less take them to heart. But so what?
Jules,
I agree with you. I do think this might just be reaching deaf ears. But it doesn’t mean I need to sit down, and not speak out. There are many ways of contributing to fighting, protesting, and speaking out, and your alternative is a great one, and I thank you for it. But personally, I will do my best to voice my opinion out, and with support of other friends/bloggers/readers, hope to have a louder voice collectively. Taking action is better than apathy.

I agree. Also, if speaking out can raise awareness among people who may not have known about these issues, then it’s worth it for that reason alone.
I’d say making sport of WBC is always a useful thing. Heck, it got a load of comic and game geeks out in the sun and taking some exercise: http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/07/22/super-heroes-vs-the-westboro-baptist-church/
They are indeed, Weebs. We may not get through to them, but we can at least stand up for the people whom they are targeting.
So true, faith.
I’d never heard of this bunch of nutters before (I know, I live on another planet half the time), so I’m grateful for the education! Off to watch Louis Theroux now. From the wiki page, though, I’m wondering what kind of twisted, fecked up bastard hate-mongering feckers you must be to attract the condemnation of even the fecking hate-mongering KKK! Pots and kettles, but still…
Americans scare the bejeebers out of me.
Especially the ones with guns.
And the ones who hate people.
Any people.
I think they make God cry.
Not that I have the first clue what God might think… or feel.
We’re not ALL bad, Janet! Admittedly, there are many hateful Americans out there but we’re not all scary, gun-wielding maniacs. Those are the ones who give the rest of us a bad name, unfortunately.
I know that Madame – and, sadly, there are haters everywhere. I agree that we need to speak out against the haters, and to defend those who are hated. Every voice makes a difference. XO
Hey, you ok? I haven’t seen you around lately.
Hey Robin!! That’s so sweet of you to think of me—all is well, although I’ve been dealing with a medical situation in my family over the past week so I wasn’t around much. But I’m back and will be posting tomorrow. I hope you’ve been well, hope all is going okay with your parents.
Glad to hear you are ok. You had me worried.
Dad is out of the nursing home as of yesterday and moved into Mom’s assisted living apartment. Thank the heavens. Dad is getting better. Mom is much worse. Sigh.
Oy vey. Glad for your father, sad for your mother, and I feel for you.
These people are horrid. While they have a right to speak, it does not mean we all have to sit down and be quiet about them. Le Clown is right.
When they show up around here, local groups have organized to stand/park so they do not have room anywhere near the people they intend to bring pain to – some even construct large sheet covered frames which are held up to prevent them from causing people pain. When they don’t get attention they usually leave pretty quickly. It takes people wiling to get up and do something to help others.
(Glad you’re doing OK – I’ve been jammed for time and trying to catch up with blogs. So Happy New year late.)
You’re absolutely right, Phil. People need to speak up. If we don’t, it sends the wrong message. And I know exactly what you mean about catching up on the blogs, I’m in the same boat myself. A late Happy New Year to you as well!
Great share! You can’t go wrong with Le Clown!
You really can’t, right? Le Clown and I go way back, and I couldn’t NOT repost this one.
