The WBC to Protest Natasha Richardson's Funeral

I'm so angry, I'm numb. I don't feel anything. It's like that scene from Equilibrium where Christian Bale suddenly goes all calm. I think if I was physically in the presence of these people, I would hurt them. And enjoy it.

I think that means what they're doing is working. I truly believe the real goal of this is to infect others with hatred, and it bothers me that it's working on me. Because I really do hate them to the point I could hurt them right now.

*is dumbfounded*

Wow. That is so full of ridiculous hate. Seriously ridiculous hate. I know these people are serious, they *think* those things are serious crimes, but to people not consumed by stupidity and hate it's on that border-line between it looking so made-up and utterly comic that you want to laugh at it and terror because people really believe in stuff that enormously dumb. I'd feel sorry for them, to be that full of poppycock and brain-rot, except they scare the dickins out of me. They're teaching their kids that sort of nastiness.

That they choose to go to people's funerals and display their dumbness, ignorance, and hate is yet another level of what-the-fuckedness. It goes beyond my capabilities to even conceive of the hideousness in their heads that they would do such things. How can they think they're good people? (Yes, rhetorical question. There is no answer to that.)

They've set it up so that when people get angry at them, it confirms and reaffirms their belief that they are right, that they are the only ones willing to speak the truth to a wicked nation, or some such.

It IS completely ridiculous, which is good, because now I've come back around to laughing at them. But, yeah. They are this one family of crazies. Most of them are attorneys, too, which makes them really hard to get anything to stick to them legally.

These are the people who keep so many others away from Christianity. Fail fail fail fail.

Exactly why I don't think proselytizing is their goal. They just want people to hate -- gays, the Phelpses themselves, I don't think they care overmuch which. It's kind of mind-boggling.
