"God Hates ****s" Protest Scheduled for CU

A protest of Cornell is scheduled for August 2 from 8:30 to 9:30am by the Westboro Baptist Church. According to their website, at www.godhates****s.com, "[t]his is a seat of higher learning in America, an Ivy League no less, which is filled with perverts running things, and they are trying to make ****s and ****s out of all of their students."

In case you haven't heard of them, this is the same group that protests at the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq, as well threatened to protest at the VA Tech funerals (although they were convinced not to in exchange for airtime on a radio station).

If you thought that was sick, look at the schedule for August 1st- they're protesting at the funeral for 5 students who died in a car accident. Because their high school has a GLBT group. Of course, it's so obvious! God killed them because of that! LOLZ why am I such an idiot! ****ers.

UPDATE: The site of the protest has been changed from the ag quad to off-campus. The counter-protest is scheduled for the same time, in Ho Plaza.

My suggestion: someone should launch a counter-protest simply by having a man dressed as Jesus have an ostensible picnic date with his boyfriend. Posted 07/29/2007 2:40 PMReply

From their site:

This is a seat of higher learning in America, an Ivy League no less, which is filled with perverts running things, and they are trying to make ****s and ****s out of all of their students. They, like the rest of America, have taught and CONTINUE to teach full-blown rebellion, to teach their sons and daughters to be snakes just like they themselves are and their father the Devil. Matthew 23:33- Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? John 8:44- Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Jesus Christ called them poisonous snakes! He is not a wimp, and He is going to continue to bereave you of your children until he finally executes the Judgment upon you as he did the Sodomites (Genesis 19) and countless other nations (the Canaanites, the Benjamites, the Philistines, Pompeii, Egypt). America is doomed! She shall be laid desolate! The siege is coming! Posted 07/31/2007 5:25 PMReply

Just a note, for MEMBERS OF THE CORNELL COMMUNITY (students, staff and faculty), come to Ho Plaza at 8:30am and don't dignify them with an audience. They're out in bumble**** anyway so they won't have anyone to listen to their hate speech if no one seeks them out. Posted 08/01/2007 1:20 PMReply

My officemate is a law student from Creighton. He said that at his school they just kept it hushed and nobody did anything. The people left after 15 minutes because they weren't getting any attention. Posted 08/01/2007 2:01 PMReply
