Anonymous Goes After GodHatesFags.com
An anonymous reader writes "Anonymous is now recognised as a serious force to be taken seriously, but its activities aren't confined to mass global protests, as the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, is discovering, according to p2pnet. Says the Examiner, 'Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church is infamous for their "Love Crusades," obnoxious displays of insensitivity and homophobia at the funerals of fallen American soldiers. The controversial if monotone message of the "Love Crusade" seems to be to blame everything that is wrong in the world on homosexuality. The crusades are part of a hate-based mission started in Kansas by the WBC and Fred Phelps.' In an open letter on AnonNews, 'We, the collective super-consciousness known as ANONYMOUS – the Voice of Free Speech & the Advocate of the People – have long heard you issue your venomous statements of hatred, and we have witnessed your flagrant and absurd displays of inimitable bigotry and intolerant fanaticism,' says Anonymous, stating 'Should you ignore this warning, you will meet with the vicious retaliatory arm of ANONYMOUS.'"
I don't think their target group knows nor care about what a computer is, so ANONYMOUS won't be able to do much damage here.

I smell a conflict of interest.

"Anonymous is now recognised as a serious force to be taken seriously..."
C'mon, "a serious force to be taken seriously?" Who wrote that?
After reading about the pillar of fire by night and a pillar of smoke by day, I think there may be some truth to this web site's name.
A medical question:
If each cigarette you smoke takes 5 minutes off of your life, but you are an eternal being, how does that work?
Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
Why not ask the easter bunny for peace in the middle east?
How do you think all these anti-government protests in the middle east got started? I definitely see the easter bunny's paws in this one!
Similar to the upcoming US election results
So what you're saying is they're two whores fighting over the same street corner.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
...and I cherish the First Amendment above all the others.... ...but just this once....I'm gonna be spending all my time looking in another direction.
And -Damn you to Hell- Fred Phelps, and your inbred collection of Olympic class haters, for pushing me to this hypocrisy.

Over here (UKoGB) the anti smoking lobby is pretty strong but even they don't invoke a deity in support.
Sounds catchy - even if I am a confirmed tabber.

I think the idea is to overwhelm the target websites with love.
Something like 100,000 kind prayers a second.
The Wise adapts himself to the world. The Fool adapts the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the Fool.
Wouldn't praying for them in a spirit of love work better?
Nope, praying is just a way of doing nothing and feeling like you're actually helping.
Sorry, that was the work of the *middle* easter bunny.
But... the future refused to change.
As an atheist, I recognize that posting in threads on the internet and prayer are very similar. :)
Sorry, but you are wrong.
When two groups of retards attack each other, everyone wins...
Yes, but we're not talking about Digg versus Reddit, right now.
Not that I pity Westboro at all (hypocritical demon warshipers)...
Fuck me, who let that crazy church build demon warships?!?!
You mean to say, religion is basically God trolling everyone else? ~
If you were in the USA, would the deaf boy have prayed for you?
