This story from today had me a little conflicted…
Counter-Protesters Confront Westboro Baptist Church at Arlington
http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/05/30/arlington.cemetery.protesters/index.html
So a group of protester-protesters showed up at Arlington National Cemetary yesterday for Memorial Day to stand up against Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist crazies who were there spreading their usual hate and bile about dead soldiers.
One note – the group happened to be members of the KKK.
So is this just a lesser of two evils shell game at this point?! I mean, I guess that says something for the Westboro Baptist folks when you’ve even got the aryan nation standing up and saying, “Hey, we’re hate-mongers who believe that whites are the superior race, but those guys over there are a little out of line!”
Yeah…
Of course, the article also quotes Phelps as saying basically the same thing about them because the bible doesn’t say anything about gender or racism – apparently only blatant sexuality made the final draft of that particular text.
Good grief – I don’t even remember why I started writing this crazy blog post anymore!
