Westboro Baptist Church Will Picket Robin Williams’ Funeral
 

The Huffington Post has confirmed that the Westboro Baptist Church will picket Robin Williams’ funeral later this week.

While others worldwide gather to pay their respect to Williams, the WBC has labelled Williams a “f*g pimp” for his roles as a gay club owner in The Birdcage and for his cross-dressing role in Mrs. Doubtfire. What adds fuel to the fire is that the WBC has already tried to disrupt vigils for Williams in San Francisco.

Williams died Monday of asphyxiation at the age of 63. He leaves behind a wife, Susan Schneider, and three children, Cody, 22, Zelda, 25, and Zach, 31. He also leaves behind millions of adoring, yet confused fans.

Shortly after his death, his wife did disclose that he was in the beginning stages of Parkinsons’ disease.

The WBC has gone to its Twitter page to gather support for this cause, as well as its continued “God Hates The Media” campaign. One tweet announces they will “preach in lawful proximity to Robin Williams’ funeral — to warn the living: repent or likewise perish!!” Another posted @Robinwilliams decided to use his considerable talent to push filthy life styles, flagrant debauchery, and hedonism! He knew the toll!” Another church tweet announced “Since his early days in San Francisco @Robinwilliams mocked God, every semblance of righteousness encouraged proud Sinners died unrepentant.”

The Westboro Baptist Church is using Twitter and Reddit against Facebook, Apple, and Google.

The group announced it was picketing the headquarters of social media sites Pinterest, Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram as part of the campaign. The WBC has accused Instagram of having a history of removing pictures and even accounts when they contain too many “Bible words,” and claimed Facebook “utilizes every opportunity to aggressively publish and promote f*g propaganda.”

“Westboro Baptist Church will use the Reddit platform, which is usually filled with vanity, science falsely so-called, and other sundry lies; to instead preach righteousness & spread the gospel,” the group said in a news release.

The WBC has picketed soldiers’ funerals, and pushed their anti-gay agenda for many years now. This would be one of the first times the WBC will try to make its presence known at a funeral for a person of this magnitude.

The WBC will have two opportunities to picket. There will be a small, intimate funeral for family and friends, time and place have not been announced. The second will be a public memorial, which is still in the planning stages.

**** them. I loved Mrs. Doubtfire.

PB came!!

assassinate all of them

Protesting fictional characters.

Just keeps getting better and better.

Seriously? Wtf is wrong with people?

It's a cult of attentions whores. No more, no less.

Aaaaaand this is why they do what they do...

**** Ferguson. These people need rubber bullets to the face.

^

Wish WBC would end the same way as the cult in Waco Texas ended. Badly.

I hate that this is what our city is known for.

I'm glad they all love God so much. Because if I had the opportunity I'd arrange an immediate meeting for them all.

I am so sick of these fothermuckers.

If you're from Topeka then your city is known for Brown vs Board.

Easier said than done, but just ignore them. Attention whores that get no attention fade away. They are irrelevant...

I'll be kind of embarrassed if these guys don't picket my funeral.

I thought they died too

I heard they were headed to Fergeson, Mo.

Please let them surrender to Ferguson police.

Congrats on giving them more publicity...

I hope they steal a box of cigars...

I long for the day when they protest the wrong funeral and one of them gets killed. Preferably beaten to death.

People stopped giving a **** about them. Im sure they're hopping that picketing a famous actor's funeral will give them the attention they so desperately crave.

They should go picket Lindsay Lohen's rehab clinic.

You're a sick individual, and I hope you get treatment soon.

Are you heading out to Napa?

Irony

I hope they protest a 20yr old marine who gave his life to protect his brothers in battle...and I hope they protest the wrong funeral I guess I am sick.

Prison bitch is a Westboro supporter.

If you want somebody killed then yes: you're a sick person.

Lol. Are your serious Clark?

Lol. As opposed to being OK with "god" killing a bundle of sticks

As long as the invisible man in the sky tells you its OK because someone deserved to die for being gay.

Don't deflect Dayze. You said you wished for another persons death. You're a sick bitch if you really wish death on others. I'll assume you don't ad were just being flippant.

He is 100% serious.

Being OK with a westboro death=bad

Being OK with a childs father being killed because god hates bundle of stickss=reasonable.

Granted a tad flippant. I wouldn't sit here and be cheering on for death. But if they protest the wrong funeral and someone snaps and takes one of them out, I'm not going to feel even remotely sad about it.

No big surprise here.

Fair enough. That's an acceptable delineation. The whole "kill people we don't agree with" thingy doesn't work for America. Fortunately.

I agree. A good beating or perhaps "brake failure" at the appropriate time is sufficient.

WBC just isn't the same without Freddo.
Now, if you see them on the street, it's like going to a casino lounge to see CCR with no John Fogerty.

If Westboro protests your funeral you know you've lived a pretty good life.

I want to like you, because I feel like there aren't a whole lot of KU fans on this board.. But damn, you make it hard.

There are plenty of KU fans on this board.

That is a terrible line of reasoning.

I can't stand the Kansas bashing whenever Westboro pops up in the news, as if Phelps was from Kansas, not Mississippi.

How reasonable.

Anything for publicity. What a bunch of whores.

Its a wash./evens out. They don't mind when god kills someone or being gay. I don't mind when they get curb stomped

This.

I was like WTF?

And then, of course, I remembered what these sibling ****ers' schtick is.

I am proud to say that have I slung dirt and rocks from under the tire of Chevy all over a crowd of them to the extent of having to brush themselves off and cough it up out of their lungs.

Yes, I agree, I'd say that makes your beliefs just as reasonable as Fred Phelps' were. Congrats.

Cool.

I don't know about that. I'm not sure that saying "I wouldn't mind if some of the WBCs get roughed up" is equatable to the WBC intentionally showing up to spread hate.

He wishes death on people whose beliefs he doesn't like, so does WBC. What's the difference? He showed up here just to proclaim his hate for all to see, much as they do at their micro-protests.

My belief is the world would be a better place if the Phelps clan wasn't a part of it.

Am I a terrible person as well?

I don't think that's the same thing. I also think the world would be a better place if their church disbanded and were never heard from again.

An anonymous message board and a funeral aren't in the same ball park, it ain't even the same ****ing game.

I would argue the difference is the genesis.

Tooge is reacting to their hatred, displayed by WBC where it isn't warranted or justified (to most people).

Death to everyone! Especially the Irish.

Oops, sorry, Dayze.

I get those two mixed up for some reason.

And maybe I didn't type out my initial response very well. I don't "wish" death on anyone in the literal sense but I sure a **** won't waste any energy if one of these mentally ill protestors happen to try to prove a point at the wrong time and it went south. You protest a funeral of a veteran killed in combat, you take our chances and get whatever you get (if anything).

He doesn't appear to mind being on their level, just in the opposite direction. He can believe whatever he wants to believe. I was just pointing out the similarity.

You've said a lot of dumb shit Dong, but this was dumb even by your standards.

Their hearts are black with hate, such a disgusting group of people.

And I think that direction is VERY important. WBC celebrates the death of a vet (for example). Dayze says, "Gee, I hope they get dead, too. Assholes."

Like I said, he's reacting to them and they choose to do what they do.

I don't see it as being on the same level at all. No more than me hoping that a violent killer gets executed and being on the same level as the killer.

They aren't going to be anywhere near the funeral, there will be like 5 of them, and plenty of people will show up to screen them off, just like always. The chances of them actually hurting someone in the family or whatever's feelings are next to nil.

And really - what should the punishment be for hurting someone's feelings? Prison time? Torture and execution?

Donger, you're a guy that calls for war. If I put a gun in your hand and told you to fight what would you do.

No need to answer nancy boy, you give the orders not follow them. amiright? I'd be willing to bet you've never taken a shot to the dome or stepped on a mat. Please stick to the debate club.

That. Thanks Donger.

That's nice.

Got the hate wagon fueled up yet?

LMAO

***Reply that attempts a balance between outrage and enlightenment***

Wow, you really took a stand. Can we feature you on "Profiles In Courage"?

I guess, to me.. it's easier to shrug off someone behind a keyboard than it is to shrug off somebody who puts that much effort into their hatred.

I'm not saying I think they should be beaten, tortured, locked up... I just think the world would be a better place without them. Take that for what you will.

LMAO sticking up for your people. Have you guys finished painting the new signs?

if you said re: the Ferguson rioters: "the world would be a better place without them", I wonder how people would take such a comment. (I don't really, since my point was of course rhetorical)

Do you disagree with my assertion?

Of course they did. :mad:

Miserable POS.

This is why I'm non-religious.

WBC are no different than Islamic nutjobs who use their religion to justify their perversions.

Not sure it's fair to paint "religious" people with this brush. I'm religious, I'm just not in THAT religion.
