Over the weekend, Fred Phelps and phriends staged a Classic Westboro Baptist Church Protest at Arlington National Cemetery because God Hates Fags In Uniforms. Honestly, I’ve never fully understood the Westboro Baptist Church’s protests outside of military funerals. Surely there is something gayer than a military funeral? Oh, don’t get me wrong, military funerals are VERY GAY, I’m sure. But also no they’re not. Anyway, this year’s Annual Hate Bowl 2011 drew some anti-Westboro Baptist Church protesters, too. People who had decided they didn’t agree with the Westboro Baptist Church’s views and opinions, and that they were going to exercise their constitutional right to free speech and say “no way, homophobic Jose!” I’m talking, of course, about the KKK. WAIT, WHUUUUUUT?! Aye-aye-aye. Hahaha. There is precedent for this, of course, in the landmark supreme court case of Asshole v. Asshole.
It’s like they say, keep your friends’ clothes and your enemies The Closer. (No one says that.)

This is like that time the juggalos flung poo at Tila Tequila, only way, WAY less sexy.
I feel like the KKK did this just to show they’re still around
Everything they do feels like a comeback. They’re the U2 of hatemongers.
If this isn’t a katamari of terrible, I do not know what is.
Shut it down. Roll it up. Throw it into outer space!
“I’ve got brothers and sisters buried in this cemetery.”
Note: not “bruthahs and sistas”.
I wish I were guest blogging today so I could make this my editor’s choice.
Okay. Today is way too confusing for me.
sexually confusing?
The enemy of my enemy is my fr – nope, still my enemy.
I was already having a hard enough time holding all my barf in today. Is this like when Fox News says they have fair and balanced coverage but then they just bring two people on to argue two equally wrong points of view? Is that like what this is?
Um, I kinda love this? Like, the whole reason for the KKK showing up is because they know they’re giant assholes and are trying to find someone else who might be a bigger asshole as some kind of hilariously misguided PR maneuver? Of course, they are both equally the worse, but it’s sort of like the slapstick version of Jason showing up at the old Myers house and telling Michael, “Dude, the whole brutal murder of horny teenagers thing? NOT cool.”
“Grammar.” – That One
Oh man. Good job. This is the type of funny that if you were a comedian doing stand up I was watching on youtube I would put this on my facebook wall, but it being on videogum means I can only credit it to ‘That One’ and linking to this post would be SUCH an EFFORT.
Also: My entire life is the internet and I am the worst.
“Those Westboro Church guys are REAL assholes. Believe us, we’d know.” -The KKK
This is pretty much a glimpse into the future of America: just small groups of like-minded people, cordoned off with portable fences, yelling at each other.
:’(
You wanna be in my fence? We don’t yell here.
Maybe. Are you a Jew?
Oh, god no.
See you at Friday’s meetup, Patrick.
I am too hungover for this! I can’t even come up with a good zinger. Let’s just stick with “WHUUUUUUT?”
My college put on The Laramie Project and some of these nuts- the Westboro Baptist Church not the KKK- came & protested. Surprise! They were asshole
I know you meant assholes, but i liked how you ended it with asshole. It’s like they achieved a state where they just assimilate to a giant asshole organism. They are no longer individuals; they are asshole.
This is the second time someone has thought my misspelled word was funnier than my intention. Lesson: Nvere rreaed hits #PromiseImNotDrunk
We Are Asshole! Love it.
Did anyone else catch that the KKK dude’s title was “Imperial Wizard”? That’s all I have to contribute.
The Sorting Hat was like, “Slytherin. Don’t even bother putting me on his head. Just.. Slytherin.”
I always felt bad for the non-white supremacist kids who got put in Slytherin. They must constantly have to defend themselves against accusations of racism, especially the ones who go to wizard grad school.
I’m half mexican/half anglo-saxon and always get sorted into Slytherin. Based on Patrick M’s comment, I no longer feel this is a good thing.
Counterpoint:
Speaking of “Worlds Been Had Collided”…
Members of Westboro: It Does Not Get Better.
Can we get BOTH groups after AT&T? Because that would be okay, NOBODY likes AT&T.
This is true. http://www.godhatesat&t.gov
Westboro Baptist Church is the AT&T of hate groups.
So, it’s the KKK versus the WBC?
It sounds suspiciously like a news team fight…..
‘No touching of the hair or face……’
waaaaiiiiittt, wait, wait. The KKK leaders/members have position titles like, “Dennis LaBonte: Imperial Wizard, KKK”? That makes it sound like they are just a group of really hard-core D & D players…
Sometimes they have to let people go instead of hanging them, if they don’t roll high enough.
There is something completely fucked up in America when the KKK come off as the “good guys” in a situation.
Also, is there a more offensive thing than hatemongering at a military funeral? Because if there is I would rather not hear about it.
If anyone needs proof that there is no God, it’s that Fred Phelps hasn’t been incinerated by a lightning bolt. Your move, God… feel free to prove me wrong.
God Hates Fags, but he loves negative attention!
Racistception
More like KOOL Klux Klan!
Hahhahaha I’m laughing a lot right now because I lied
Whoever loses, we win.
This is the KKK’s insidious new strategy: say two reasonable things you have to agree with, then slip in something racist.
KKK: Don’t you hate those Westboro nuts?
You: Yeah.
KKK: They’re so crazy and hateful, I wish they would go back where they came from.
You: Yeah, I hear you.
KKK: So, uh, you wanna help me blow up a church?
Godzilla vs Mothra = they are both monster destroyers
Tim Burtons Batman movies vs Chip Nolan’s batman movies = they’re both terrible
I wish the family members from the funeral would come out and start protesting the KKK’s support of them.
“Thanks but no thanks KKK”
by “come out” you mean come out of the closet?
Oh, you mean like this?
Or: “ThanKs, but no thanKs, K?”
In all those fast shots at the end, it gets pretty hard to tell the two groups apart.
This is our generation’s ending of Animal Farm
So much hate, so little completed secondary education.
“We’re just here for the [non-homo, darkie, Kike or Catholic] soldiers.”
The Westboro Baptist Church are the one thing that unites America, no matter your race, ethnicity, sexuality, or political stance, everyone hates those assholes. Thank god they only have 71 members.
I think this requires a cage-match where two men enter and NONE leave.
