Radical Westboro Baptist Church Claims Amish Community Was Punished by an Angry God (H&C transcript)
Fox News ^ | Thursday, October 05, 2006 | Hannity & Colmes

ALAN COLMES, CO-HOST: Members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, have been protesting at military funerals since June of last year carrying signs with anti-gay slogans. Yesterday, they announced they were planning to protest the funerals of the Amish schoolgirls shot to death to death in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, earlier this week, but they have since changed their plans.

With us now from Westboro Baptist Church is Shirley Phelps-Roper.

You changed your plans because Mike Gallagher has offered you airtime on his radio show, because you want to get your message out. What is that message?

SHIRLEY PHELPS-ROPER, WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH: The message is that God has put a standard in the earth. He expects his creatures to obey it. If you obey, he'll bless you. If you don't, he'll curse you. America has sent away her day of grace. America is doomed.--snip--

COLMES: Did those girls deserve to be killed?

PHELPS-ROPER: Well, they did get killed, and they did that. Who controls the hearts of men? It was at the hand of an angry God those girls are dead.

COLMES: Did they deserve to die?

PHELPS-ROPER: They did deserve to die.--snip--

SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: Shirley, you really are a sick woman. You are a sick...

PHELPS-ROPER: Slight cold but thank you.

HANNITY: ...twisted human being. Where is your soul that you come on the air and as young innocent girls are going to die and you're going to — you're going to open up the family's wound and pour salt on it? Where is your heart? Where is your soul? Where's your compassion? Where's your love?

PHELPS-ROPER: Our message is for the living, and that is the only loving thing to do.

HANNITY: What about the living families that lost their daughter?

PHELPS-ROPER: They did that to themselves.--snip--

Inbreeding? Psychosis? Drug Use?

Channeling the ghost of Jim Jones?

And then, and then, and then a big black cloud rolled up in the sky, and that crater happened ~ used to be the Westboro Baptist Church, and they were gone.

Some say an angry God did it to punish them for being the most boorish people in the world. Others say it was their overflowing privy that simply exploded from an overload of rank BS.

It was an angry G-d that gave that repulsive skank that face.

It would scare a blind dog off a porkchop.

It's grotesque that they can twist such a tragedy into a religious statement. If they can find any community of people who live a more God-oriented life than the Amish, then let us know.

They do exist, but historically they were confined to asylums and sanitariums.

Why does the Baptist Church put up with these freaks? Has it slipped over to the dark side?

From what I understand, this group is not a part of any Baptist church fellowship at all.

I watched this interview. I kept picturing Jesus Christ watching this shrill and saying: "Father forgive her, she's as clueless as they get."

"It was an angry G-d that gave that repulsive skank that face.

It would knock a buzzard off a sh$t wagon. (Sorry)

How is it possible that these people don't get the crap kicked out of them when they show up at places to "protest".
