WBC petition to name it a hate site at record levels.

by Ziks511 - 12/27/12 9:45 PM

http://www.slate.com/blogs/trending/2012/12/27/westboro_church_petition_collects_record_260_000_signatures_to_name_it_a.html

"More than 260,000 people who signed a petition to the White House say yes. The biggest ever on the White House's We the People site, the petition calls for the funeral-crashing independent church to be hit with some sort of "imposed regulation."

I'm not all that comfortable with this (I'm a liberal after all) but their behaviour has been beyond the pale for years but something needs to be done to restrict their attacking the bereaved and making their lives a misery.

Their tax-exempt status should be examined as well.

When even the KKK thinks you've gone too far, you have serious issues.

The trouble is, anybody can say he is a Baptist, without any

check or any evidence. They don't have to belong to the Baptist Convention (at least I think that's what it's called). There used to be a number of churches here in Toronto which proclaimed themselves as Limited Companies. I assume that was because they didn't meet up with the statutory requirement for recognition as churches. On the other hand, I can't recall seeing one of those signs in quite a while.
