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.

...y'know? I think you're right.

I just don't have words to describe how sad this makes me. It doesn't make me angry, they're not worth that it just makes me weary and sad. I'm sure Liam will deal with it with dignity. I just wish he didn't have to.

They are like internet trolls IMO.

That's... for real? I thought it was a spoof. O_O

Nah. They're taking the piss.

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.)

I looked up the verses they're "summarizing" in their "insightful" picket signs using the NRSV...

Uh....

I don't know what translation they're using, but by my reading, they're both taking the verses out of context and pulling stuff out of thin air.

(That's so weird that you said that about Equilibrium 'cause I just saw it for the first time last night and I really liked that part. Carry on.)

Ok, now I've read the link. That's just....*boggles*
