300 Bikers Foil Westboro Baptist Church's Obama Joplin Protest

I have politicusa on my FB...So I did see it today...so cool...the video is a bit shaky, but it was too funny to see the guy run, and the 'crowd' go after him...and I just love what a 'supposed' cop said..."run you stupid M F, run"....

Don't mess with bikers...

Watched the KKK link too..amazing. I haven't often liked what they have said or stood for, but, this is something that all Americans should be standing up for...the KKK GW was saying even he served for 9 years, and what WBC is doing is so disrespectful of our soldiers...that I can agree with.

As one commenter said, "How bad does a group have to be for the KKK to protest them?"...

Gotta love bikers!!!

My heartfelt thanks to them!

E

Now, just WHAT would the Westboro nutcases have to protest in Joplin??

Now they are just TRYING to piss people off, aren't they?

I do recall asking the for various bike clubs to do this exact thing a while back. I am so happy to see it actually working.

Not quite the same as a soldier's funeral but maybe they will get the message this time?

Or are they trying to say it was God's way of punishing the US again?

As I understand it, God is not vengeful.

I think God is letting us deal with the world alone, to see if we can actually pull it together or die trying.

KKK or Hell's Angels. It got the message across.

I guess Bikers have freedom of speech also. It is kinda-sorta freedom of speech in the face of Westboro's freedom of speech. But I don't have a problem with that.

Righton, the Westboro Church has to leave with their tails between their legs..

Serves them right, The Bikers Rule! yea!

Thank you, Bikers and police...

What's the world coming to when there's a group more despicable than the KKK?

Its wrong to do it, and its wrong of me to laugh, but the mental image of the guy being told

RUN YOU STUPID &*%#$^@&$%^#!!!

by the police who are trying to protect him from the bikers makes me giggle. It is guilty pleasure I know, I should not take any joy in such lawless conduct.

I am glad he got away though with no reported injuries other than to his t-shirt. I hope he is okay and learns to practice a bit more discretion in whether or not to walk into a crowd he expects to be hostile. Thinking oneself a martyr is one thing, actually trying to be one, not a good call.

I wish someone would make an appointment for the Westborough losers to face God directly.

@ Mongowildman -

I think God is letting us deal with the world alone, to see if we can actually pull it together or die trying.

We as a nation have stopped calling on Him. We have loudly proclaimed that He is not, or that He is only pure love and acceptance and has no sense of right or wrong. God does indeed have wrath, but not yet. We are in the age of grace, where His love is indeed calling to us, even in the midst of our hateful and angry rejection of Him. If God had ANY thing to do with Joplin, Missouri, it would be that he has steeled the heart of the people with resolve, and if there's any sense of His wrath, it's that He allowed it to happen, and is saying, "See? I alone have the power to protect, bless, and build up. Without Me, corruption has it's way, and this includes destruction."

Remember Joseph in Egypt. He was raised to the position of 2d ruler in the Kingdom of Egypt so that through his wisdom Egypt might be saved from the 7 year famine. Point is, the 7 year famine still happened.

This is the best news I've heard all day!

Unfortunately Levi, you are right. As a nation, we have caved in to the minority of atheists and probably the Muslims too, by striking the name of God from public places. They forget that this nation was created by mostly believers and spiritual people and would rather see that destroyed.

I for one am insulted by the policies of this country, which lay down and coddle those whiny crybabies because that tiny minority is offended by the rest.

What about the majority? I thought this was a kind of democracy where the majority was the rule. Are those in the majority offended as I am? Probably, but the big difference is that they would prefer a peaceful coexistence and acquiesce to maintain that peace.

This is a lot like when I was in school, where just a few students had the entire school scared of them. Nobody would stand up to them because they did not want it to come down on their heads. Eventually, I did stand up to one in particular and there was a revenge motivated attack on me later on by one of his friends. That still did not deter me. That was what it took to break that cycle of fear and it was not instantly either.

These guys who stood up to the WBC cult had a serious advantage. Some times, that advantage needs to be used. The majority has that same advantage and they need to wake up and face these special interests down.

Ash, I did comment on the article. Have you got something against the majority rule? Do you have a problem with the fat that the majority of the people in this country are not atheists? Does it bother you that someone might mention the fact that special interest groups are crippling the country? Which ones are you a member of? Are you one of those crazies in the WBC cult? Just wondering, since you seem to think you need to throw rocks here.

Oh, so THIS is what trolls do... Duh! I didn't recognize it at first,

Tell ya what there Ash, You are more than welcome to come to my door and act this way. It won't get you very far but I would probably enjoy it. Do you want my address?

Be able to turn the other cybercheek, Brother. Teach by example, hold your example up to shine a light on the truly Blessed Path.

If that is what you Believe!

Peace

Oh, and Thank You Bikers!!

No problem... I just wanted to send my regards...

We are all one no matter if our outlook is different we wear different disguises. We approach life with different views and with different approaches but we are all on the same path. Some of us walk the line others are all over the place deviating from what we claim is the "norm". Understanding each other is often difficult but not impossible.
Thank you notsjingo for your soft words.

My mind is REELING RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! You have got to be ONE @!$%#ED UP ORGANIZATION for you to stir the ire of the KKK given their track history!!!!

AND AT ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY, NO LESS!!!!!!!

I tip my hat to the 300 bikers who ran the WBC out of Joplin, Mo on a rail. I would bet good money that they will think twice about WHERE they choose to protest in the future.

Trekie 70:

I saw your link, and I STILL had to do a QUADRUPLE TAKE!!!!

Am I hallucinating, OR did I see a KLANSMAN hand a American Flag to a female, African American(?) USAF Colonel, AND SAY "THANK YOU" TO HER?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Please excuse me while I pass out.

<<<<THUD>>>>

The article did say they are trying to clean up their image...

I think very few people read the articles.

Have we turned a corner? Red Staters defending Obama from bigots?

They realize it doesn't matter what color you are, it's how competent you are.

It doesn't matter if your car is black or white. It's whether it's a Mercedes or Yugo.

Unfortunately Levi, you are right. As a nation, we have caved in to the minority of atheists and probably the Muslims too, by striking the name of God from public places. They forget that this nation was created by mostly believers and spiritual people and would rather see that destroyed.

WBC are not atheists or Muslims, they belong to another club and I am sure would support your desire for more "public" god.

I dunno... The WBC cult has their own agenda. They may not be atheists but they certainly don't appear to be for the good of the most. They are not at fault for the lack of spirituality but they aren't exactly helping the cause.

We as a nation have stopped calling on Him.

We never did "call on Him," because we are not a Christian nation; we are a secular nation and always have been.

I thought this was a kind of democracy where the majority was the rule...Have you got something against the majority rule?

We are also not a country of majority rule; we are not a democracy -- we are a constitutional republic.

Do you have a problem with the fat that the majority of the people in this country are not atheists?

Just because the majority of people in this country may be Christians does not make us a "Christian nation," or one of "majority rule". We have never been either one of those things.

Perhaps both of you need to read the Constitution.

This article made my day. Just awesome!

Guess "God" was on break since he/she didn't intervene an allow then to carry out their divine mission

God had nothing to do with it. Religion had nothing to do with it. The Westboro Baptist Church brought this upon themselves. Get it right..

I wish someone would make an appointment for the Westborough losers to face God directly.

Oh they'll get there soon enough without anyone's help. Although I do believe they are in for a major shock of a surprise when they do. And I'm not talking about a "nice" or "good" surprise either.

I do hope that the WBC realize soon that they've really pissed off far too many people at this point. It is getting to be no longer safe for them to continue to do so.

Whatever happened to "Do not judge others" and "Do unto others what you want them to do to you?"

When it comes to WBC, the bikers set a shining example, They stood up to them, they protected others, they stood for what they believed in.

Mongo

Let me take a stab at a conspiracy theory. The money WBC pays for, 12 adults to travel within the US. Include lodging
Meals and transportation.

I went for a weekend it cost me $1500. So just were does this money come from?

I searched a little found that WBO defend its actions as "right to free speech" case against father of soldier.

Folks any way you look at WBO has big money budget. Oh ya.

Americans have to come to the aid of one another. Together we are one, divided... not so much

In exchange we get security law and order. Now it's, watch what you do, don't be out at night lock doors...

Our American society as no community. Suspicion as replaced common sense. When I grew up there were local organizations that took up 12 city blocks. We had little get togethers and summer parties. Henry Ford built a Lake and Camping resort his employees and families.

The bikers came hard, like old school. The FOOL that walked into those brothers. Was looking for trouble. From the video he continued to taunt them after the cops came. I guess he was trolling for personnel injury law suite.

The cops gave that good advice to the fool. Far I'm concerned that was the end of their reonsiblity.

I don't know why WBC would spend their own money to go and insult and anger Americans.

Oh wow, WBC is met in a counterprotest by the KKK. That smackdown should definitely be on pay per view.

Clipped to the "Westboro Baptist Abomination" group

I'm going to go with, "God sent the Bikers to show them the error of their ways." I hope they get more oppurtunities to show them in the future as well. LOL!

God loves those bikers and the people of Joplin! Thank you bikers! Those people are disgusting!

Someone said:

I wish someone would make an appointment for the Westborough losers to face God directly.

Everyone has that appointment already, we just don't know when.

The WBC will be really disappointed though, because God isn't going to judge them on the curve like they think. He isn't going to judge anybody for the things they had nothing to do with: such as the sex lives of others, the greed of others, the evil deeds done by others for their own gain, ... as long as we didn't take part in it by allowing it, justifying it, helping the cause along through saying that cause is acceptable, ... we will have nothing to answer for except what we did , or didn't do in His Name.

I really enjoyed the fact that the bikers stood up to them, because the WBC is not acting in His Name, but they are acting in the name of our enemy the devil. When even the KKK looks better than them they should check their evilness meter. ;~)):~))

Oh and for all of ya who want say God isn't here or He doesn't exist. Good luck with that come your day to face Him. Just try telling Him He doesn't exist or you don't believe in Him, I'm sure you'll be convinced that He does. :~(( :~((

I Luv it!

It truly boggles my mind that no judge in their right mind can't see these people committing harassment crimes against people that are trying to bury their loved ones in peace.

Why don't the people get together and go to their land and blow all their horns day and night and harass them.

I forget, it's a crime to harass these ignorant people, but it's ok for them to terrorize people that are trying to bury their kids and family members.

Just end all this religious bs in America. We really don't need it anymore.

Just in case anyone wants to leave a message for these clowns!

Just in case anyone wants to leave a message for these clowns!

I like the biker way a lot better.

No, don't contact them...they may in turn 'follow you'...Don't give them any ammunition to use against you to sue you...

End all religions in America and then we all will be rid of these sick and twisted people that hear voices in their heads (a sign of mental issues), pedophiles, rapists, control freaks and such.

They gone too far in invading the people's lives and their homes, now they feel the need to attack the dead.

END RELIGION! Save your money, spend more time with family and friends. Make these sick pastors get a freaking real job and pay their taxes like the rest of us do.

NO MORE RELIGION! <thumbs up>

That's like saying that somebody died in surgery once, so end all surgery. A bit extreme, methinks....the logical results end up with hatred along the lines of WBC. And yes, I've seen atheists who foam at the mouth just as much as these kooks do. They're just a bit more quiet about it. Moderate your position a bit, KK, and you might have something.

Forbidding ("ending") religion in America is just as asinine an idea as requiring it. Next idea, please.

OK, Dennis. You can have religion, but they must be taxed for all the services they do not pay for. No more using our roads; our utilities; our fire; our police.

I don't want it, personally. I've done just fine without out for my entire adult life and a good portion of my youth. I'm just not seeing where taking it away from everyone is any better. I'm fine with taxing them.

Excellent on the taxation. They are a sink hole for the gullible's hard-earned cash.

Everyone's forgetting something. WBC may have visited Joplin for a day to try to protest, but who do you think has been there since the start giving aid to these people??

That's right, folks...churches and religious organizations. Probably 9 of every 10 people giving aid to those people right now are from faith-based organizations. Who do you think FEMA calls on to provide hydration, shelter, food, and other emergency services? Most of the organizations are faith-based organizations. Instead of focusing on those people who have come together from all over the country to provide help, we focus on the one group of crackpots.

You can hate religion all you want. These organizations won't deny you services when it's your house that gets flooded or obliterated by a tornado. They don't ask if you are a Christian, a Muslim, or an atheist. But, if you tax them, they may run out of money before they come your way.

Tax The Churches

I guess the Red Cross will have to do then. Or just good Christians(or non Christians) that help just out of the good of their hearts.

Not because they got a tax break and could afford it.

The Churches sure as Hell have nice buildings to house the unfortunates, though. Can't argue that. Some of them are as big as, well, Churches!!

That's just STUPID! No doctor listens to voices in their head for guidance, and they don't be]brainwash their patients into having surgeries like religion does to the ignorant that falls for the bs they are fed.

Doctors save lives, patients come to them, doctors to not invade their private lives and homes either. Patients go to them when they need to see a doctor, unlike religious numbskull's that knock n your door, ring your doorbell or stand at a street corner trying to force people to believe in their nuttiness.

Hello Pearl,

That's right, folks...churches and religious organizations

Yes, REAL churches and religious organizations. The WBC cult had a different agenda.

Absolutely, Mongo...

I get tired of the great local churches and big religious organizations like The Salvation Army, YMCA, Catholic Charities, etc. getting a bad rap because of people who call themselves Christian but who clearly are anything but.

I would go to a biker for aid before I'd go to a church. Their type burnt my type at the stake, and I've not forgotten nor forgiven.

Charity is the giving alms and it should be done in secret. It should be given from the heart. It should not be used as a tax break.

Charities formed to make it easier for someone to give, but they also have to raise money to cover administration costs.

Churches do not always help. There people who have gone to their church in time of need and were turned down. Charities, especially religious charities, can be very selective as to who they help. There are churches that have food pantries to give food to the needy that won't help their own congregant.

The main thing is to give and give willingly.

Notsojingo and Huskergal,

You're missing the point. They don't get a "tax break" to do what they do. They're already tax exempt, so they don't need one. Being tax exempt; however, frees up more money for them to put back into these programs, though.

What I think people don't realize is that FEMA doesn't do all the actual work themselves. They rely on nonprofit groups such as the The Red Cross, The Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, Lutheran Disaster Relief, etc., to provide many of the disaster relief services that are going on right now in Joplin. These are the groups that have employees and volunteers that are trained in disaster response. These are the groups that are ready at a moment's notice to jump in a vehicle and go. Federal funds take time to release. There are channels that have to be gone through. In those critical first hours and days, these organizations, and NOT the federal government, is who is doing the work. They work directly with local emergency management and provide whatever they are asked to. Once FEMA is involved in something it is usually only financially. Disaster ridden areas usually continue to utilize these organizations because they are the ones who are trained and equipped to handle things effeciently.

I work and volunteer with a major nonprofit organization that is a first responder to disasters. We are still in Haiti and Japan, and have been in Joplin since the first day.

I see the God haters are out. Love these people. Almost as rabid as the WBC. Almost! I never get why every time WBC or that Lunatic in Tennessee or Florida do some crazy @!$%#, these people have to come out and persecute all Christians. I don't go calling for the Death of all Asians, because one or two committed a crime. I certainly don't think we should disband an Entire school class, because one kid cannot behave, but that is the twisted logic that creeps out. It's really sick guys.

Well, of course I was sick for 2 days & missed it, but this video has, in the words of Clint Eastwood, "MADE MY DAY!" Having followed this scum since the mid-90's, I am thrilled things are finally turning away from their always having it their way-Supreme Court or not!

Now if people everywhere can only continue doing this when they know WBC is coming, "justice" can be served.

I don't go calling for the Death of all Asians

Obscure. One can't choose to be Asian.

You can't choose a lot of things in life. For a less "obscure" example. Every time someone who is "Atheist" kills a person I do not go out and scream that they should all be rounded up and done away with. If you really want obscure, try punishing an entire group of people for one small groups actions. Take for example banning motorcycles because the Hells Angels ride them. Stupid, just like trying to rid the world of all Christians because of the idiots at Westboro.

I do not condone the Morons at Westboro, and I am fine with any group confronting them about their ignorance and hatred, but I feel that it is shameful to punish an entire group for a few peoples actions. But, here in the U.S. we have done it before. Prohibition is a fine example.

Every time someone who is "Atheist" kills a person I do not go out and scream that they should all be rounded up and done away with. If you really want obscure, try punishing an entire group of people for one small groups actions.

Christians are just as guilty of this as anyone else. An example would be how a large majority would not vote for a person for political office based upon their atheism. Many also use the "Stalin/Mao/Pol Pot" excuse.

Here's the difference: Atheists do not worship genocidal madmen like Stalin or Mao as Gods.

Stalin was an Atheist. Mao is an Atheist. Therefore, all Atheist must be like Stalin and Mao and their followers. That is the conclusion I come up to based on your faulty reasoning. No difference.

Obviously I do not pray to the same god as WBC. My God doesn't protests funerals and ask for praise when our soldiers die. You are trying to pigeon hole every Christian. Like I said, your reasoning is flawed. If you want to create an agenda against Christians, then that is your perogative, it's a free country. Just don't try to defend it when there is no way to do so. Have a great day.

You are going to have to show me where the Christians in the Modern Day USA, not 100's of years ago, did some crazy @!$%# like that. Using obscure refrences from thousands of years ago is rididulous.

Not only that, your political analogy doesn't really hold water. I can't recall any atheists running.

Exactly. When was the last time, other than maybe some looney from the Green Party, that a person came out and ran as an Atheist openly. Believe me the Green Party and many other small independents are not voted against due to their religous beliefs. They are just too @!$%#ing crazy for anyone to take serious.

You're missing the point. They don't get a "tax break" to do what they do. They're already tax exempt, so they don't need one.

PearlOfPrice, you missed my point completely. I am taking about giving Charity, not Charities. Give from the heart and not for the tax break.

I see the God haters are out.

I do not see any God haters. I see non-believers and people that were hurt by the "Church;" the people of the Church, not all Christians, Jews, or Muslims, etc. It is our right, guaranteed by the Constitution the right to speak freely.

Do what you want. Spread your message of hate. I have no problem with that. The plain and simple truth is that you guys are judging a bunch of people because of what a small group has done. It would be like me hating all doctors because one performed a bad surgery on me 20 years ago. You got to let it go eventually or it will rule you. Good luck to you anyway. Speak about whatever you like, that is what the GBC does.

It would be like me hating all doctors because one performed a bad surgery on me 20 years ago.

Or if the doctor touched you in a funny place when you were young!

Okay great. So one doctor being a pervert does not equate to all of them being one. All any of you can do is solidify my point. Women and Men get molested, raped, and beaten everyday. You have to learn to cope and move on eventually.

Gotcha

!

;-)

LMFAO!Priceless video.If they were TRUE Christians,wouldn't the one person stay there since God is on his side and can overcome anything?A great case for good triumphing over evil IMO.

I agree!
