This has got to be one of the most insane press releases I've ever read. It's bordering on comical though you have to wonder how they think they are ever going to convince people to join their cause with this hate filled dribble...

http://www.godhatesfags.com/written/fliers/20090212_god-hates-australia.pdf

To summarise: Westboro claim God started the Victorian bush fires in retaliation for Australia vilifying their church by sending the Chaser team over to the USA to do a send up of them after they threatened to picket Heath Ledgers funeral because he filmed Brokeback Mountain. Oh and now all of Australia is doomed because we are fag-enablers.

And now according to their picket schedule on www.godhatesfags.com the Westboro Baptist Church are coming to help us celebrate Mardi Gras! God knows we've been in need of a decent fanatic ever since good old Fred Nile gave up praying for rain.

http://www.godhatesfags.com/schedule.html

Here's my response to a few of their points about why they are going to picket Mardi Gras:


"Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade - Abomination!" - I know you just can't get good seamstresses these days.



"Elizabeth and Liverpool intersect Australia is being destroyed by the Hand of God" - Um, no. Wear and tear from traffic and perhaps the odd vomiting straighty is destroying this intersection but definitely not God.



"The numbers of dead increase, and the grizzly manner of their death makes the mind whirl from the awesomeness of it." - Ok, a little bit creepy but just make sure you see a professional if the whirls move to any other part of you body.



"Yet in the face of that stark reality there is no response of true mourning for their sins, or even a suggestion amongst fellow-countrymen to REPENT! No, instead they brag of their vile ?smash-mouth? sins. Like this HUGE fag parade." - Yes I hate smash-mouth too... leaves a nasty stain on your teeth doesn't it.



"God Hates Australia; Australia Is Doomed; Don't Pray for Australia! We will picket you filthy brutes. Like it or NOT!" - Bring it on; it'll be good for a laugh and it can only help ticket sales!

Awesome! I can't wait for them to come here. It'll be hilarious. These guys have no power but for a few signs and hateful words.

We need to do a Michael Moore.

Couldn't agree more. I think their own actions show how ridiculous they are. It just goes to show how malleable peoples heads are though.

I doubt they'll come here though for Mardi Gras. Apparently they threatened to protest during the Victorian bush fires but of course didn't bother to show.

It would be kind of funny though if they did. Love to see them survive our anti vilification laws let alone a couple of angry drag queens.

Westboro were just refused entry into the United Kingdom by Customs and Immigration on account of their views (I forget who they were coming to picket). I wonder if Aussie Customs and Immigration will let them through.

Hope so. It would be the best thing to happen to Mardi Gras in aaaaaaaaaaaaages....

I'm so excited that they are coming also!!!!

I'm so scared of their signs and anal probed by aliens intelligence from the midwest. Bring it on as there is absolutely no need to retaliate for they are making a mockery of themselves. Hate is a strong word and it has always been close to the border of love for one can't exist without the other.

Their ridiculous sentiments go against everything most religious types believe and who knows perhaps these wackos getting enough coverage all over the world will eventually sway many other religious people into our favor without even retaliating.

I can't understand how a group like these turds can ever survive on a solid diet of unbalanced hate when even the biggest haters in life need love at some stage.

OK, I am getting over posts being moved to different forums all the time. If this post doesn't relate to Sydney then I don't know what does. It's becoming annoying.

Westboro Baptist Church is a poor excuse for a church...They in no way show the love that Jesus showed in the gospels. YET...they call themselves Christians...

If Fred Phelps and his team from Westboro try and interupt Mardi Gras. I will personally crash tackle him myself.

I hate to think how many Southern American gay people killed themselves/ were killed because of his anti-gay activism.

I'll study up some nice Baptist church songs, and you can hit em where it hurts, I'm sure you girls can have fun overemphasising certain words and lines

Sociopaths shouldn't allowed to operate a "church..."

ASIC would close your shop if you were selling a brand that piggy-backed on the cache of another - the original hard worked for brand. Try importing Fenbi from the Phillipines to compete with Fendi!

Who will close a "church" that manipulates the power of the older institutions to pervert their followers? That isn't what it claims to be?

Whilst not condoning the older churches in any way, they do have magnificent brand awareness. A sociopath riding on that formidable cache is a powerful thing - beyond many people to resist.

Can it be controlled?

You could always hijack the Kylie float and chase them down Oxford St and into Sydney Harbour for the sharks :)
