Thus sayeth the bottom banner on what I assume is one of the newer flyers from the odious Westboro Baptist Church.
Yes, that's right. Never ones to pass up a chance to show their rears to the world, Topeka's Finest are planning on showing up in Joplin, MO on Sunday to try and get some camera time when President Obama and Governor Nixon come to town.
Check in below the fold if you've got the stomach for it.
I know that Phelps and his crew are nothing but sick attention whores, and by even publishing this diary I am furthering their cause to some degree. I also know that some areas have done a great job of waging counter-protests, and that the more people there are aware of their plans and looking out for them, the better chance we have of that happening.
There is already a Facebook group working on a counter-rally to keep these misanthropes contained. Please help spread the word about this event, so that we can keep the focus on Sunday on the city of Joplin and state of Missouri, and not on these misanthropic, self-absorbed freaks.
Thank you.
