As much as I hate what they stand for I can't be for freedom of speech only if I agree with the message.


I agree with this, the only speech that actually needs a law protecting it is the kind that somebody finds offensive and it makes sense that at some point that somebody is going to be me.

That said it seems pretty easy for me to reconcile the idea that they have a right to speak publicly about how god hates kindergarteners with the idea that they also don't have the right to harass grieving parents by trolling funerals.

Go back and read my posts again.

Nope. Don't see any actual claim by Anonymous for the site being down.

there was a link on some guys you tube video, packman I think where the speaker from anonymous was talking with shirley phelps and said he had done it while they were talking and showed the hacked site
its on video on youtube. ima gonna find the link
Altho I agree with tazzy, finding your own info from links isnt that hard yanno?


Hold on a second. So, I'm saying that I don't see any admissions in Tazzy's links, for which it has been claimed that I have a lack of reading comprehension, and, it turns out, that I would have to have taken links from her links to see/hear the admissions?!? And, with all that, she's tired of doing my research?!? WTF?!?

Thanks for the link in your next post, Lucy. I think David Packman was enjoying Ms. Phelps' blathering on.

Now, my analysis of the video says that "jester" took down all the WBC sites, not anonymous. But, at the end of the video, Anonymous hacked into the WBC site to post something. There is no admission that Anonymous had anything to do with the DoS attacks that took down all the WBC sites. As a matter of fact, there is denial that Anonymous was behind the attacks.

Through this all, I've said, I have no issue with the gathering of public information and it being posted in a convenient format, but that I don't support the illegal activities, which hacking is. The driving force behind my questioning Tazzy is that there is no proof that Anonymous took down the sites. There is proof, at the end of the video you linked to, that Anonymous hacked WBC's site, and I don't support that because it is illegal to do so.

Tazzy alleged that Anonymous took down the sites. She has shown no proof that Anonymous did that, outside of circumstantial evidence. She seems to be tired of my not doing research, yet, it wasn't my allegation to prove. How is that a failure of my researching, when it was her allegation to prove? I read every one of her links and did not find the evidence she claims is there.

To sum up, there is proof that Anonymous hacked the sites (which occurred after the DoS attacks took the WBC sites down), but there is no proof that Anonymous took down the sites.

I've never really liked anonymous because I am contemptuousness of anyone who pontificates about morality and makes threats while hiding behind a mask... but I also loath the Westboro bunch. Officially I still support the rights of the Westboro Bumfuck Church to be assholes (freedom is meaningless if it doesn't apply to everyone... most especially to opinions we loath), but I just can't get to worked up over their misfortune here (kind of like how I am against the death penalty but still don't shed any tears when they stick a needle in the arm of some child rapist/murderer).

So, I'm going to look upon this the same way I would look upon a brawl between radical Muslims and Christian fundamentalists... I ain't rooting for either side to win but, no matter what happens, the outcome can only be a net gain for the rest of us.

As you may not have acknowledged our existence, we, on the otherhand, have recognized yours. We have seen your depraved methods of disseminating your message of hate throughout The United States of America. We have witnessed you defaming the memories of those who sacrificed themselves for the security of our nation, disrupting the peace of the educational environment within high schools and universities, breeding hatred within the fragile minds of your own next of kin, desecrating the name of God by protesting in the proximity of churches and synagogues, and mangling the biblical text to conform in accordance with your malevolent cause.

Your pseudo-faith is abhorrent, and your leaders, repugnant. Your impact and cause is hazardous to the lives of millions and you fail to see the wrong in promoting the deaths of innocent people. You are self-appointed servants of God who rewrite the words of His sacred scripture to adhere to your prejudice. Your hatred supersedes your faith, and you use faith to promote your hatred.

Since your one-dimensional thought protocol will conform not to any modern logic, we will not debate, argue, or attempt to reason with you.

Attrition is our weapon, and we will waste no time, money, effort, and enjoyment, in tearing your resolve into pieces, as with exposing the incongruity of your distorted faith.

Anonymous possesses a plethora of information within our network about the many divisions of Christianity and numerous other religious doctrines. Many of us are versed in the biblical text, and we can identify each and every of your violations of scripture. You abuse the Holy Bible which you do not fully comprehend and know not of the thousands of authors to impose upon other people when you can simply coalesce with your loved ones and live in the manner you deem plausible. You engage in reciprocal fornication with another man and preach adultery as a sin. You, Shirley Lynn Phelps-Roper violated Deuteronomy 5:18. As a result, your son Sam is the living, breathing proof of your act of simple loneliness. Simply put, it takes not a genius to realize an arrogant woman's loose moral string, and its predilection to progressively wither and fray.

From the time you have received this message, our attack protocol has past been executed and your downfall is underway.

Thank you for making my point... Anonymous is indeed nearly as hypocritical, arrogant and contemptible as the Westboro bunch.

Anonymous admitted - gloated about, even - to hacking the WBC downloads page and putting up a message. That is not the same as the DoS attacks that took out all of WBC's sites. I'm not questioning the legitimacy of the hack admitted to. I'm questioning whether or not it was Anonymous behind the DoS attacks. That is what Tazzy seems to be alleging. I have yet to see or hear any proof for that.

Anonymous took responsibilty. Dont blame us because I wont hold your hand any longer and walk you through the links to show you where the information is.

Grab your big boy pants, pull them up and actually look at links for a change.

If not, continue to look as uninformed as you do now.

Your choice.

Are these the same people who have videos on youtube of themselves heckling WBC? My kids like to watch those and laugh.....

I do not agree with a group breaking the law, but I have to say.....part of me is not one single bit sorry even if anonymous did. I despise those WBC people, and as someone who grew up in a Baptist Church, it burns all over me that they use the term baptist....much less the term church.

You won't hold my hand?!? Aw, shucks.

I assumed the links you provided supported your allegations. When they didn't, I asked for links supporting your evidence. You have responded several times, none of which actually pointed out anything else to answer my question.

I'm all for calling a spade, a spade. But, I'm not for calling something a spade until I know it's a spade. Neither you, nor Lucy, has posted a link showing where Anonymous claimed responsibility for the DoS attacks that took down the WBC sites. Lucy's link actually had Anonymous denying involvement in the DoS attacks, and then claiming to have hacked the site during the interview (which I have not questioned, am not even considering questioning, nor am in support of).

And, I'm the one that needs to put on big boy pants? How about you put on whatever it is you wear (not going to tell you to put on something you may not wear), and actually post a link that supports your allegation?

So, next time you ask me for a link to my claims, I'll do a google search and post the results and let you sift through.

I do shift through your links. I do my own homework. I dig through all the links. Which is how I bust half the links given in these threads.

The hypocrisy of Anonymous, at least in this case, is that they accuse the WBC of being self appointed... but who appointed Anonymous to be society's avengers?

I agree that the WBC deserves all the opprobrium we can pour upon them but, like it or not, they are still entitled to the same rights as the rest of us... rights that Anonymous is violating.
