They've faced down humans time and time again, but Fred Phelps and his minions from the Westboro Baptist Church were not ready for the cosplay action that awaited them today at Comic-Con.

That looked like fun :)

I like to think that the WBC is intentionally behaving this way in order to unite people.
Time and time again we see people working together to raise a peaceful and sometimes touching counter campaign against them.
Perhaps I'm too optimistic.

I am more cynical- I think they are just doing it to get the publicity. They love being in the news. When they are interviewed on TV, they are practically giddy.
How bout a God Hates Narcissists sign?
I U Lusco Field should have gotten more for the naming rights

They're just a bunch of mentally unstable trolls.
Sort of like a real life 4chan with a religious twist.
Doesn't matter which side you look at. They are all people who apparently have nothing better to do but stand around outside with signs. Get some jobs you damn hippies.
Go comic con kids!
Yeah I really don't get the WBC people. Wasn't there only like 3 there, and aren't there only like 20-30 in total?
Fred Phelps is like some parody-villain, sending bumbling goons to perpetrate pointless hijinks.
Yes, YES, GOOO! Go strike FEAR into the HEARTS OF--....um...ummmm...COMIC-CON ATTENDANTS YESSSS MUAHAHA

Pussy nerds. They could have at least one-upped the religious nuts by having Chewbacca sodomize a dummy of Fred Phelps with a light saber.

Plus, I bet most of those Nazi Baptists didn't get half of those sign references.
"Mommy refresh my memory...was it the hypno-toad that led the Jews off of Endor?"
I don't think the Phelps' mini-spawn understand much beyond ideological browbeating

I kinda wish people would just forget about WBC and the Phelps's. They're attorneys skilled in frivolous lawsuits. These counter-protests are exactly what they want.
Jul 22nd, 2010 (11:40 PM)
that video was terrrrrble
i couldnt understand anything anyone was saying
what were they chanting? we demand justice maybe?

Actually,
Nate Phelps is a (very tormented) atheist.

Agreed.
But then I thought "Man, wish I'd been there to do that. Well... I'd probably have been bored after 5 minutes of holding a sign."

Nah, they actually want people to strike them,
as that's money in their banks.
Pretty disgusting overall,

Of and by this I am most assured.
At this point I have to think that WBC are helping gay rights. People who didn't really have an opinion on gay marriage may have their mind up by hating WBC.

When I saw that picture in the link my first thought was "Who the hell is this, it reminds me of a celebrity... bah I can't bring up a name."
Then I saw your post and you pretty much nailed it.

Ok, Buddy Christ FTW.
And, for the record, anybody that holds up a sign that says "God Hates You" should be immediately disregarded because they don't know what they are talking about. I'm actually surprised that it doesn't create an irony singularity that consumes all matter in the universe.

Just when I thought there couldn't be anymore awesome in this thread, you go and pull this.
I'm going to go squee in joy now.
and this is why I always fall for nerds and geeks. Witty silliness is so sexy...
