Westboro Meets Its Match: Thousands Sign Retaliatory Petitions

Posted on: 11:57 am, December 17, 2012, by Sarah Clark, updated on: 12:01pm, December 17, 2012


KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Thousands have signed two separate petitions that would classify Topeka’s Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group and strip it of its tax exempt status. The petitions were started after members of Westboro announced plans to protest a Sunday vigil in Newtown, Conn.

After Westboro Baptist Church spokesperson Shirey Phelps-Roper tweeted plans to protest the vigil, “to sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgement,” the hacktivist group known as “Anonymous” threatened the church via video. In it, an automated voice says, “We will not allow you to corrupt the minds of America with your seeks of hatred. We will not allow you to inspire aggression to the social faction which you deem inferior. We will render you obsolete. We will destroy you. We are coming.”

In addition to the video, Anonymous hacked Westboro’s website and released personal information about church members including names, street addresses, phone numbers and email addresses according to CNET.

Anonymous didn’t stop there. Using its Twitter account, Anonymous has asked its followers to sign a petition that would investigate the IRS tax-exempt status of the church. As stated on the White House website, the petition claims: The Westboro Baptist Church is better-known for homophobic displays, suing people and picketing funerals than for providing Christian care to a community. Due to their harassment and politicking, their IRS tax-exempt status should be immediately investigated.

A total of 16,062 signatures are needed before the White House will review the petition. As of noon on Monday, nearly 10,000 people had signed it.

Another petition aims at stripping Westboro of its “religious” affiliation and classifying it as a hate group. As stated in part on the White House website, Westboro’s “actions have been directed at many groups, including homosexuals, military, Jewish people and even other Christians. They pose a threat to the welfare and treatment of others and will not improve without some form of imposed regulation.”

Over 108,000 people have signed this petition, which surpasses the 25,000 needed for the White House to review it.

Westboro Baptist is going down.


:hurray:

it's great to not be in a cult. You can call bad/idiotic people "bad" and "idiotic"... even though they claim to be on your side of the aisle.

I wish democrats could do this.

Amen to that. A good friend whom I worked with last year and the year before, decided to piss off the wrong internet vigilante back during the Summer. Started on FB, moved to 4chan...next thing he knows, his cell is ringing non-stop, his moms cell is ringing non-stop, sisters cell, home phone, emails are hacked, FB is hacked, Pizzas being delivered VIA his CC info, his mother works for the county, and she started recieving threatening calls on her office phone...

Whole thing lasted about 36 hours...they had to change all their cell numbers, home phone numbers, new FB accounts, new email accts, his mom had to get a new extension...it was 36 hours of hell.

You dont piss off anonymous...

I'll sign anything if it will help to bring that evil scum down. I would love to see the law allow the Patriot Guard to take care of the scum.

[Iron Chef]

Organizations like this are just as dangerous to society as any firearm.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Hells Angels, but the Patriot Guard is fine by me.

Really?

I know of no firearm that can cause harm independently.

...a petition that would investigate the IRS tax-exempt status of the church.

Another petition aims at stripping Westboro of its “religious” affiliation and classifying it as a hate group....
Awesome with a capital a**holes.

I'd love to see either of those things come to pass.

:confused5::confused5::confused5:

Many people like to infer that firearms, by their very existence or by someone using them, are a danger to society. My point is that there are many other dangers that aren't so apparent.

[DJ_Critterus]

Be careful what you ask for. As much as i like this, jsut wait until one day when somebody doesn't like what you are up to, you get hacked, and petitions start flying around. Think there might be a chance something could go wrong?

Now don't get me wrong, I wish the next shooter would target these WBC assholes, but gotta use some common sense here since our country seems to be going for a knee-jerk reaction with mob mentality. And I'm also not fond of vigilante justice, but ANON will get their soon enough.

[MEC5LADY]

I think the way they target certain groups they should have been classified a hate group a long time ago.

[Bill]

I'd like to see ALL churches/mosques/synagogues/other houses of worship lose their tax exempt status, just as I would like to see most other non profits lose their tax exempt status. The churches are there primarily for the benefit of their members. My HOA, another tax exempt entity, is primarily there for the benefit of the homeowners of my subdivision. Both should pay taxes. Why should I pay property tax on my house while the church down the street (with a parsonage, BTW) does not pay? As far as income taxes go, the churches and the other non profits should be able to deduct charitable expenses. Building a new sanctuary, or paying the light bill on the sanctuary isn't charitable giving, and shouldn't be counted as a deduction.

Flame suit on.




Edit: As to Westboro vs. Anonymous......well, I don't know if the Westboro idiots believe in karma or not, but, it is a bitch.

Church? CHURCH?!?! These muthfers are pieces of sheit that hide behind the guise of being a "church"!
They found a way to exploit the "system", and now use government protection to get away with their sheit!
I say strip all their "church" privies, list them as a hate group, line up the entire "congregation", beat their asses lile rented mules, and then throw salt in all their wounds. AND when they all atart screaming bloody murder, and suing everyone, tell them to STFU that it was "Gods will" that they got whay they got!

Here's the thing. You pull their tax exempt status because they hate fags, then don't get mad when other, more main stream churches that "hate the sin, love the sinner" also get their tax exempt status pulled.

It'd be really great if all the Westboro folks got turned into pillars of salt or spontaneously combusted.....God's own way of saying, "you're doing it wrong."

[DJ_Critterus]

Slippery slope with mob mentality.

[ApexOversteer]

Strip them of their "church" status, and then drop 'em in downtown San Francisco as the pride parade starts... they'll explode on their own.

Personally I would like to see the WBC membership show up to protest a meeting of the Patriot Riders in some outlying part of a county in Arizona and simultaneous five doughnuts for a nickle sale at the Phoenix Dunkin' Donuts for any LEO in uniform.

Problem would be solved. . . permanently.:dance:
