Even for a hate group, these folks are extreme.
An anti-Semitic, anti-homosexual, anti-Catholic, and apparently anti-New Jersey (see below) group from Kansas called the Westboro Baptist Church, which has protested against everyone from Mr. Rogers to Cokie Roberts, everything from the flim “Rent” to anything related to President Obama, has a website at “Godhatesf-gs.com” containing their “picket schedule.” They are planning to protest throughout New Jersey on Oct. 27 and 28, including in Secaucus, Hoboken and Jersey City.
They say they are going to stop at Hoboken’s City Hall on Oct. 27 at 4:45 p.m. to raise awareness about the arrests of 44 political and religious leaders in July. They are calling the protest the “Just Say No to Goyum/Hebrew Criminal Enterprises Tour.”
They will then protest outside of the United Synagogue of Hoboken at 7, calling it a “Synagogue of Satan.”
Oct. 28, they’ll protest outside the Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus at 10:15 a.m. because Secaucus mayor Dennis Elwell was among those arrested.
The group’s picket schedule is so extreme it almost seems like self parody. For their 2:55 p.m. stop at Dickinson High School in Jersey City (several arrested officials came from Jersey City), it notes: “Dickinson High School – Full of NJ Elite? I think NOT! 2 Palisade Ave WBC knows about you filthy New Jersey BRATS! We know how to read on urbandictionary.com about New Joisee, and we know how to listen to your filthy voice mails and read your filthy emails. New Jersey was the first State to pass a law against WBC’s picketing BEFORE we ever even visited that filthy state much less thought about picketing there. That should tell you that God Hates New Jersey! Back to the NJ Elite. Howabout if you over-indulged kids get a life already? You only have one duty in this life and it has nothing to do with your socializing and your fierce clothing and dieting habits! Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Now THAT is HARD CORE!”
Various news organizations have said that this “church,” which is not affiliated with regular Baptist churches, contains only 70-150 members, many of whom are related to its founder, Fred Phelps.
