This time, they're planning to protest the Houston Rockets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Game 5 tonight in Oklahoma City.  They are taking advantage of Jason Collins coming out of the closet and even targeting Kevin Durant saying "God hates the NBA".

I am all for complete freedom of speech, but Westboro really pushes the limits on that one.

Everyone knows they're harmless, but they are extremely annoying.

After the rant I went on a few hours ago, I find myself jumping in defense of Mr. Collins...  Just because he comes out as gay, does not mean God hates gays or God hates the NBA.

Some people's children...

So we've already established that God hates certain countries and groups of people, now we're starting to narrow it down to leagues and franchises. Interesting.

What I find most interesting here is:

A. People still give attention to WBC
B. The phrasing of Bushie's post

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I was just trying to make a point.

And, just to be clear, Westboro is not a church, they are a cult.  They do not in any way represent the views of the true church.

No surprise.  Their protests used to be shocking, but they're getting kind of old.

They're also considering picketing George Jones' funeral.

Actually God may hate the NBA.  After all He allowed one of their franchises to move to Oklahoma. Wink

Very true, and to further give the NBA the middle finger He quickly vaulted that team to be the best in the Western Conference second only to Miami at this point.
