FULL TITLE: West Borough (sic) Baptist Church won’t go to Iraq: Comedian donates flight money to charity instead

Damn it.

[Slings and Arrows]

We can still crowdsource this, folks.

Someone at the Westboro Baptist Church had an epiphany: If we go to Iraq, those are REAL Muslim killers who will kill us in very evil, nasty ways. Better to stay in this country and donate the flight money to charity. Self preservation is strong within these parishioners, Obi Wan.

Personally I think they would get a lot of coverage if the would go to Ferguson MO. on Monday. ;-)

These Westboro Baptist Church people are very strange.

Some freeper had a great tagline that went something like this. “Live your life in such a way that when you die the Westboro Baptist Church will picket your funeral”

[berdie]

That’s too bad. I hear Iraq is beautiful this time of year.

[Salamander]

I was *so* looking forward to this.

:-(

[Vendome]

Well, that blows...

Could’ve been a great day for humanity...

[Vendome]

I would have contributed and paid extra for a private viewing of the outcome and watched it, while eating heavily buttered popcorn, as I played it over and over on my 80” TV.

Punked by WBC Neanderthals. Now that’s gonna leave a mark!

“Hey! If you do ‘A’, I’ll do ‘B’.”
“OK.”
“Never mind.”

“Homo.”

What does it say about me that - had I donated $$$ to WBC’s flight - I’d want it refunded now that the cause has changed? Hey dude, all I want is what I [would have] paid for!

[lee martell]

He had to call it off. No doubt money was FLYING in from everywhere, Big Money! The members of that so called ‘church’ should not be depended on. What if they took the tickets, cashed them in and made a movie, about all the wicked people in the world’ instead. Maybe they would call the movie “The Non-Innocence Of The Falsified Christian Man”. Susan Rice would quickly blame the upcoming ISIS attack on that there movie.

Headline is a bit misleading. From the article it sounds like the church accepted the offer and was willing to go but the comic backed down. It’s not clear why.

[melsec]

While I find Adam Hills amusing at times he is a real leftie - pro-gay, pro-everything left. The Westboro people do more for the leftie agenda that any “Christian” group in any country in the world - lefties use them as the straw front men for conservative Christians. Sounds like Hills wimped out!

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

It was a silly idea, IS already persecutes gays as they wish they could, and in any case, their real agenda is to get injured at a picket or have their ‘freedom of expression’ violated so they can sue the authorities for lots of money.

[metmom]

There’s a price on their heads now.

Let’s see them take on the muzzies.

Cowards.

[Conspiracy Guy]

This is very sad. I was really looking forward to their protest.

[mouse1]

but will they go to Ferguson??

[DouglasKC]

Wait....the WBC didn’t decide not to go...the guy decided not to fly them over there. The headline is a bit misleading...I say buy them the plane tickets and send a couple of reporters.
