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--

These people are sick.
I'm glad that Hannity is exposing what they do. It's hideous.
I listen to a few liberal talk radio shows and Err Amerika and ...no foolin,,they all alluded ALL CHRISTIANS are like em...after all they are baptists don't ya know
Just as Lenny Bruce was the vulger language pidgeon,this souless pidgeon will be pedestaled by the drive by media as a reflection of American christianity.....
If there really were an angry God punishing folks , I am afraid this mental midget would be number one on the hit parade. I wouldnt stand too close to her. Might be collateral damage.
I read your tag line and must say if this woman was used as soylent green it would poison whomsoever ate it.
How is it possible that these people don't get the crap kicked out of them when they show up at places to "protest".
***
People are afraid of being sued...these whackos have done it before. Or they fear being arrested and jailed themselves.
I figger at some point, the Good Lord will judge them...just as He will judge all of us...for what we've done or didn't do.
This is not a suggestion, but if violence were to befall these people it would be a judgement from GOD. Their words not mine.
All she needs is a witch hat and a broom. She really looks the part.
This nut and her sister were on the Mike Gallagher Show today: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1714162/posts
She is also a card carrying Democrat...
From what I understand, this group is not a part of any Baptist church fellowship at all.

Correct. Most legitimate Baptists I know of wouldn't come within 2,000 miles of these putzes.
These folks are highly motivated anti-Christian dis-info artists.
I don't.
Hannity and Colmes are idiots to give those people a platform to spew their hatred.
Ignore them. All they want is attention.
Oh boy, I wouldnt want to be in her place once God gets around to her.
In the interview she kept repeating (yelling) "Obey God's Commandments!"
Jesus said: There is a commandment greater than all of these; love your neighbor as you love yourself.
I think she missed that one.
Anybody can call themselves "Baptist". There are many Baptist organizations, the largest is probably the Southern Baptist Convention, which is an association of Baptist churches. But neither the SBC nor anyone else has control over the name "Baptist". The SBC can disassociate itself from a church, and I'm sure it's not associated with this one, but it can't make a church change it's name.
from what I saw of this (loss for words here)- they could star in their own horror movie, maybe "the revenge of the really ugly people who think they hear voices" and never have to use a script.
But I'm a Christian raised in a Baptist tradition and I'd be happy to FREEP the socks off of them.
I'm in. 6'1", 195 lbs and a 3rd degree black belt in hapkido. Who's with me?
I'm trying to imagine the jury that would convict.
"HANNITY: What about the living families that lost their daughter?
PHELPS-ROPER: They did that to themselves."
Why do they put these people on tv? Everyone should just ignore them.
