Westboro Baptist Church, best-known for picketing funerals of dead soldiers, is now taking its show of hate to Penn State - to protest the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal that has rocked the country and shocked the university. However, the divisive group's actions have united a divided campus, by inspiring a counter-protest by the atheist and LGBT student groups.
On Saturday, Nov. 11, the WBC will be holding up its famously abrasive signs at Beaver Stadium in University Park, PA where the Penn State football team will take on Nebraska. According to the WBC website, "Penn State has the wrath of God raining down on them in righteous judgement!"
WBC says the alleged cover-up is similar to the cover-up scandals that have plagued the Catholic Church in recent years. "They have taken from the playbook of the Catholics. Let's diddle the little kiddies and hide it from top to bottom!" the group's website says. "Fitting that the head cover-up artist is called the Pope of Happy Valley. How sick is that! Not surprising, but sick!"
In addition, the radical fundamentalist group also plans on protesting the current state of education.
"College in this country is nothing more than a giant party, with a few classes set to instruct in sin thrown in for good measure," the WBC site says. "What you have turned out of those classes are raping priests, raping coaches, raping marines, along with various other violent dangerous brutes that are poised to be tomorrows 'heroes' in this vile land. Wake up! You have angered your God beyond recovery. More and worse is coming! America is doomed! "
However, despite the polarizing nature of WBC as well as the sex abuse scandal itself, which caused many Penn State students to riot after it was announced legendary football coach Joe Paterno was fired, the radical group has caused the Penn State Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Ally Student Alliance to team up with the Penn State Atheist/Agnostic Association in a counter-protest.
For Scott Brown, president of the Penn State Atheist/Agnostic Association, it is not that WBC is protesting the child sex scandal which has inspired his group to counter-protest, but the "bigotry" that they represent.
"I think it's hateful and it's bigoted and narrow-minded and it supports cultures of intolerance that we have in America," Brown said, according to Penn State college newspaper, The Collegian.
Alyssia Motah, co-president of the LGBTQA Student Alliance, says that WBC's presence will be a chance to be heard.
"The fact that they're going to be here is an opportunity for us to react and we intend to do that," Motah said.
Motah also hopes that other students will join in.
"Just to visibly be there is going to be a great and I hope the student body will stand behind us on that," she said. "We will be the ones with rainbow flags."
Holy crap I didn’t know that! And it seems besides getting fired, his career was destroyed. And for telling the truth.
Well, not the whole truth. Clinton is also a rapist. Being a killer and a rapist seems to be better than telling a woman she is the same height as your wife like Herman Cain says he did. For that a man should not be President. Only men like Clinton and Ted Kennedy who drowned a woman should be.
Yes, Ted Kennedy running for President in 1980. A man who left a woman to drown while she was obviously fully conscious, who could not open the car door and had no choice but to sit and watch as the water rose over her nose and then her eyes, then held her breath until she went into convulsions then passed out and died while the fat drunk asshole responsible went back to the bar. THIS guy is Presidential material.
But a guy who told a woman “Say, you are the same height as my wife” is a slimebag and a liar.
Cain recently hired a lawyer who specializes in defamation, and all I can say, if this lawyer can prove that Axelrod is behind this BS, it’s all over for that party. They-are-finished which would be a great way for Herman Cain to start his Presidency. By destroying the party that let itself be overtaken by the psychotic Marxists. Flush the toilet and plug the hole. They will forever be tagged as the racists they are, and their black voter base will go up in smoke. A Democrat will be lucky if he can be voted Class Clown in grade school.
And BTW, Lorne Michaels can kiss my arse. That fool absolutely destroyed comedy. The latest example being Adam Sandlers “Jack and Jill” which got ZERO stars in the NY Post. Since when did SNL stars get this monopoly on comedy? The show sucks and so does their movies. The last great one was Blues Brothers.
I mean how hard is comedy? The stuff writes itself out of all mediums. Just follow reality.
Great minds work in the same way.
This could turn out to be a miracle in action.
You will get a lot of arguments on that one, but you are right.
They will never admit it but you hit the nail on the head.
There is no need for flaming. You are entitled to your opinion.
He and I agree. Put two male homosexuals on a bed together in front of another with an erection, one 15 the other 45 you can bet which one will get popped.
One is with a consenting adult one is not.
“That’s why such a staggeringly disproportionate number of sex crimes against children are committed by homosexual pedophiles.”
I don’t know were you get your data. More little girls are abused than little boys.
Nearly one-third of pedophile sex crimes are committed by men against boys. Homosexuals account for 3% of the population. Hence the word “disproportionate”.
And, oh yes, welcome to Free Republic.
The transformation of the world I knew as a child of the 1940's by the sodomites and their enablers has been nothing short of astounding. The utter falsehood that homosexuality is genetic is part of their agenda to grant them civil rights. It is a deliberate and conscious choice on their behalf to live that depraved deathstyle.
Part of what the homosexuals do is claim the language. Instead of being known as sodomites (which they are), they wrap themselves in the term "gay". I don't know about others, but as for me, I want my word back to its rightful meaning! They have so corrupted the language that "Deck the Halls" elicits a snicker nowadays.
Homosexuals are anything but "gay" (in the original meaning of joyous and happy). These sexual deviants are sad and miserable beings that can be redeemed by prayer and counseling. But they must first acknowledge and repent of the vile sin.
Just when you think it couldn’t get even more surreal.......the game should be cancelled.
Hopefully all of these groups will kill each other.
One of the more distressing elements of the homosexual gene concept is how utterly illogical it is. How does a genetic code that makes a person predisposed to not reproduce survive? And why did so many in our society (a majority, I’m afraid) blindly accept this absurd lie without a second thought?
Also, if genetics can cause deviant sexual behavior like homosexuality, is there also a gene for pedophilia? Certainly genetics have no regard for age of consent laws.
I have to be careful with that last question. The way we’re going, it won’t be long before they starting making that very argument in defense of child predators like Sandusky.
Exactly
We have countless examples of how behavior and environment impact DNA on small levels, yet the “consensus” on evolution and homosexuality (which also would seem contrary to some of the tenets of the former) is that these things are fixed.
It saddens me that we can not perform true research or analysis because of preconceived, politically motivated notions, and fear of ridicule if we buck the trend.
