Westboro protest has been called off


Posted: Jan 13, 2011

Thank you, Mike Gallagher. They have signed a contract that they won't protest. 

 

A Westboro Baptist Church official said Wednesday morning that supporters will not picket the funerals of victims of last weekend's shooting spree in Tucson.

Church spokeswoman Shirley Phelps-Roper told The Republic by phone from its Westboro's Topeka, Kan., headquarters that plans to appear in Arizona have been dropped in exchange for appearances on two conservative radio talk shows, one national and another based in Phoenix.

"If I can use my show to prevent them from disrupting these funerals I view that as positive, even though I find their message reprehensible," said Mike Gallagher, whose national talk show airs on KKNT - 960 AM radio in Phoenix.

Of course not! No one does! But Westboro knew that, and - used it to gain an ulterior motive. nm

I Just Love Westboro Church. Got An Idea.....Mar 12, 2011
Since it's freedom of speech for them to protest, let's take the union protestors, since they like to protest so much, and send them to WBC and let them protest for as many days and weeks they did in WI. (I"m kidding, of course). Do you think if a group protested outside their church, standing 1000 feet away from them, that it would be considered freedom of speech?  This makes my blood boil.
