Photos: Westboro Baptist pickets Rehnquist's funeral, "celebrates" Katrina
http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Exclusive_Antigay_forces_protest_at_Rehnquist_death_celebra_0918.html

A smattering of anti-gay activists celebrated oustide the headquarters of gay rights lobby Human Rights Campaign on the eve of former Chief Justice William Rehnquist's funeral Sept. 7.

Photographs of the event were obtained by RAW STORY.

The protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas -- more or less all relatives of anti-gay activist Fred Phelps -- attacked Rehnquist while celebrating hurricane Katrina, which they believe purged New Orleans of unsavory homosexual elements. Similar charges resounded through the right-wing Christian realm, who noted that the New Orleans gay pride festival Southern Decadence was scheduled right around the time the hurricane hit.

The signs are captured below. Rehnquist earned "JUDGE IN HELL" for leading his court in overturning sodomy laws.

2. Why do these people love terrorists so much?
Edited on Sun Sep-18-05 10:20 PM by Dr_eldritch
I mean - obviously the terrorists were carrying out God's will... so by syllogism, they support terrorists.

I guess that means Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell side with Al-Qaeda too.

15. Howdy, neighbor
from down here in OK. :hi:


Actually, I think this bunch fits the mold of the useful idiot. There are so offensive to everyone that even died in the wool conservatives come out in support of their gay community when this freak show comes to town.

7. you can bet Hannity will talk about these "Liberals"
like he did with the douchebags that protest the soldier's funerals. Hannity will spread the lie that these are "Liberal Democrats" and the Freepers will start with their violent mob mentality...

11. One of them is wearing red, which is an "abomination unto the Lord"
In fact, prohibited by the same prattle that "prohibits" being gay (if one is in a pagan temple).

Why doesn't someone set up a group to follow these morons around? Lets picket THEIR family funerals and gatherings. I know Michael Moore did a short stint on this, but maybe something consistent.

19. Not to many men in those pics...
Does he make the women do all the work? How very nice of him.:sarcasm: Anyway, one woman is in tight shorts or a tight skirt and a red (as a previous post talked about) t-shirt while the other is in tight jeans and a tank top. Now, I know those D.C. late summer days can be hot but shouldn't good little messengers of God have a little more modesty. You'd think Fred Phelps would want his women covered up head to toe, kind of like the dress codes at Falwell's school or in the fundie Mormon communities.
