Well in the comic book which the mask in from, V was an anarchist who took down a Christian theocracy in a future Britain. So it sort of works, though it’s worth asking Alan Moore why he picked Guy Fawkes…
Dennis you are right, these Anonymous people are using Guy Fawkes because they are extremist Catholic terrorist. Anonymous are Christian terrorist who want to convert us all to being Christians only they are doing it covertly by hiding who they are. They also know they need to act pro gay to fool people. What they are really doing is trying to make themselves look good using PR or public relations like this to get agreement to try and get rid of an embarrassment to the Christian religion called Wesboro Church. They think they are fooling people and some people are being fooled. There are people like you who know who they really are. Christians hiding behind mask of a Christian terrorist. Why do you think they wear the mask of Guy Fawkes, the extremist Catholic terrorist? If they were really out for good they would not hide who they are, after all they claim to be the majority and everybody knows in the Western world Christians are the majority.
htats what the Roman Reichstag has always wanted to do
Create a CATHOLIC CALIPHATE for the world.
In the middle ages they mass murdered Jews who wouldnt convert. The only dispensation was to not attack while the jews were praying
BTW just to spread the word AHit, Himmler #2/SS chief, mengele Goebbels and Eichmann were all catholic and went to catholic schools as was the norm in much of europe.
I love it when people with a spine and a conscience mete out justice when our legal institutions won’t/don’t.
In my book, Westboro fits the definition of a terrorist organisation.
Anonymous are the terrorists reading this article.
WBC haven’t broken any laws, anonymous have. Our civilisation is nothing without laws.
Here lies anarchy. Sorry to say it as I detest what WBC do but in a free country the law is on their side. To actively destroy a church or any organisation for that matter is what I would expect in Saudi Arabia.
As the quote goes, you may despise what they say but all of us on this website of all places should defend their right to say it.
Otherwise we just play into their hands. The people most pleased with this article and the comments will be WBC.
There s a huge difference between terrorists and freedom fighters. In this case, the WBC are the terrorists, Anonymous are the freedom fighters – they always have been.
Terrorism is illegal, correct? What have WBC been charged and found guilty of?
Hacking is illegal. Registering a death certificate for someone living? I’m only guessing but that is likely to be illegal.
You may not like what WBC do but if we change the law to suit our opinion of them what protection will you have when someone anti-gay registers your death or destroys your computer system.
Their skill is in using the law, it’s no accident she’s a lawyer and they are very careful not to break the law.
But they despise our society, lust like Al Qaeda do and they hope to destroy our society by turning us against our own laws.
You are all playing right into their hands if you flout our own laws to get your way. We need to be way cleverer than them and find legal ways to put them out of business.
Al Capone never got done for murder he got done for tax evasion. Think about it.
Twitless you should remove the word “less” from your alias if you’re gonna post nonsense like that.
Ever heard the term “Freedom Fighter” eh?
Not all laws are good laws
I’ve heard the term freedom fighter and the word terrorist and I have heard them transposed depending what side of an argument you are on. They are meaningless words when used like that.
The KKK would call themselves freedom fighters, our governments called Nelson Mandela a terrorist in the past.
Not all laws are good laws but who made you the one to decide? We change our laws like all the other things we do in a democracy, democratically.
The WBC are p**ssed of for precisely that reason, because they can see they are losing the argument. The angrier they get the happier I become.
What are you talking about? It’s the God Hates Fags mob! That is inciting homophobic hated which is a criminal offence in this country. Here they would be arrested and tried. I think Anonymous is perfectly within their right to dish out punishment on those oiks on our behalf seeing that the USA doesn’t have laws about it.
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression from government interference.The notion of Free Speech is extremely important and this sometimes means that you have to put up with people saying things that you disagree with. However, the 1st Amendment only guarantees the right to freedom of speech, it does not guarantee that you will be free from consequences.
The US Supreme Court’s decisions and jurisprudence has consistently recognized that there are indeed some limits on the right to freedom of speech. (Most famous example is that a person does not have the right to erroniously cry “Fire!” in a crowded theater. These has also been some recognition that the government has the right to ban “hate speech”. The problem is in the definitions of hate speech.
It’s the gays who are the terrorists and who have declared to destroy marriage, the family, children, and the nation. This action on the part of anonymous also shows that such terrorists are gutless cowards.
Yeah yeah Skinner, the equal rights movement is a precursor to universal domination under a gay government.
Use your brain and stop reading the Daily Mail
Gutless cowards too? Is that why you feel the need to go and attack innocent people on a news site? You’re brainless and I wouldn’t be surprised if you were also twitless who posted above
Still with the abuse, you really are a defender of free speech aren’t you. You don’t know anything about me yet you assume things because you don’t like the truth. You need to think a bit more and shout a bit less.
Sure we hate marriage so much we want to be a part of it.
We hate families so much that we’re all members of one, same as yourself.
We hate kids so much we don’t want them committing suicide by being brought up in an environment surrounded by fear and loathing.
We hate our respective nations so much we all inhabit one (it was kind of a default choice between that and colonising Mars).
Tell me, did you engage your critical faculties at any point before spewing out that vacuous diatribe of utter crap?
When did they declare this david I missed that edition of the daily mail. I have it cut in squares on a piece of wire in my outside toilet so I can wipe my a*rse with it.
The WBC rhetoric isn’t about gays… its about hate. You don’t picket the funerals of children, butchered in their classrooms because of someone else’s personal life. You do it because you hate.
Interesting that those touting “freedom of religion” never address the forcible brainwashing of children into such things rather than letting them mature and make such decisions for themselves.
How do you abuse freedom of speech. It is an absolute. You can’t be half pregnant, you can’t be half free.
The muslims don’t get the concept and the WBC don’t get the concept.
But if you do honestly believe in it. Pick holes in what they say, ignore them, picket their services, but don’t just tell them to shut up, because that is what they are asking us to do.
Ordinarily I would agree with Twitless’ argument about free speech etc BUT the WBC are beyond the pale – they go to funerals and do their very best to make the mourners feel even worse than they already do, They exult in the suffering of others and they are dedicated to spreading, hate, homophobia, anti- semitism etc and they hide behind the law which is powerless to stop them or protect vulnerable people from their hate-mongering. All power to Anonymous for doing something about a group that the American government is unable to touch!
Abuse your rights, lose your rights… We have people in jail around the world for abusing their rights, so we must be acknowledging that rights have limits.
Anti-bullying and anti-harassment laws would also seem to reflect this concept.
Morally and ethically the WBC is wrong; they hurt the most vulnerable of people by preying on those already suffering.
Under law, it was okay to murder people in World War II concentration camps… morally and ethically they needed to be stopped.
Morally and ethically WBC is preaching the same hate that Hitler did, and if legally they are protected, then that does not make them right.
Rights have responsibilities, and you can not reason with hate mongers.
Freedom is a relative quality; one compares a given individual’s freedom to another and states that one is more free than another. Assuming a quantifiable “freedom” scale, then the phrase “half free” is a perfectly meaningful one.
Your suggestion that freedom is absolute doesn’t work. No one would allow absolute total freedom – that would be anarchy and lawlessness. You wouldn’t allow someone freedom to murder or maim, so why allow them freedom to incite hatred? We surely shouldn’t be “free” to do either, as both are detrimental to society.
We aren’t asking WBC to shut up because we don’t believe in liberalism, we’re doing it because we care more about society’s harmony and existence more than absolute freedom. A society needs a balance between positive and negative freedom to function effectively.
There is a large degree of naïveté in your arguments. No right is absolute… even your right to life itself is challenged in many places in the world if you take the life of another.
Societies only work if the rights of all are respected and WBC fails to respect the rights of everyone. You do no have to be gay to be attacked by their hatred, simply lose a loved one under horrific circumstances, and they may show up on your doorstep to unleash their vitriolic hyperbole upon you.
I am not American, but I would protect the parents and families of the Newtown massacre if I had the knowledge and technical skills. I applaud the efforts of “anonymous” in this endeavour.
I know these guys want to remain “anonymous” but if I ever find out who they are, I would make sure they didnt pay for their drinks at one of my hang outs!!! Hell, I’m sure the owners of the gay bars would keep open tabs for them!! =)
Freedom of speech is not an absolute – even in the USA. What this group are engaged in is stalking harrassment and abusive behaviour, even the SCOTUS has from time to time also limited time and place restrictions as they did with WBC – it just wasnt good enough in this case.
What can you expect with a SC that came up with Citizens United decision,
they are loosing the plot.
Where will we be without Wikileaks and Anonymous hey in the 21st century?
That Church is so 100% obsessed with gay male sex to the point were it is laughable and stupid!
I am a 100% gay male and I am even not that obsessed with gay sex! It is no different to straight sex in 90% of ways such as oral, anal and the usual plain opposite-sex viginal sex! It is just two men or two women – that’s the only difference!
Seriously these people are just loopy as nuts with fruit loops!
By the way, it is 100% true that it is impossible that two people of the same sex can perform penetrative viginal sex!
No offense, but anyone can perform penatrative sex (vaginal or anal) with a dildo and it is still regarded as a sexual act (or in some cases an act of rape).
No, this is wrong! It’s wrong to stoop that low. Martin Luther King Jr. fought this type of war but NOT this way.
I don’t think we should make someone’s life miserable. Most likely she is in a loveless marriage and was abused as a child so she is trying to find life. I realise she is wrong but we are better than that and we are winning anyway. She is probably a bitch too and will have to live with that as well.

We are not like her.
Martin Luther King Jr. also thought all the Jews should be driven into the sea and drowned for killing Jesus. If he was alive today he would probably be against gay equality.
Anonymous are like the big kid who wades in to tackle bullies who are picking on the small, weak & defenseless.
Not terrorism, any more than Britain & France coming to the aid of Poland in 1939 or Belgium in 1914.

Anonymous are modern heroes. I’d vote them into government!
100% agree!
Aren’t these guys aware that Guy Fawkes was an extremist Catholic terrorist who wanted to forcibly convert everyone?
Well in the comic book which the mask in from, V was an anarchist who took down a Christian theocracy in a future Britain. So it sort of works, though it’s worth asking Alan Moore why he picked Guy Fawkes…
Dennis you are right, these Anonymous people are using Guy Fawkes because they are extremist Catholic terrorist. Anonymous are Christian terrorist who want to convert us all to being Christians only they are doing it covertly by hiding who they are. They also know they need to act pro gay to fool people. What they are really doing is trying to make themselves look good using PR or public relations like this to get agreement to try and get rid of an embarrassment to the Christian religion called Wesboro Church.

Malcom, putting the tinfoil hat down for a second, they don’t hide who they are. Because they’re us. They’re not an organisation by any means.
So were the pilgrim fathers.

well done Anonymous :-D

If you can’t discuss this without resorting to abuse, how do you differ from them?
‘Our civilisation is nothing without laws.’
Correction: Our civilization is nothing without humanity- which the WBC lack.
Humanity without laws? You don’t stand a chance.
What are you talking about? It’s the God Hates Fags mob! That is inciting homophobic hated which is a criminal offence in this country. Here they would be arrested and tried. I think Anonymous is perfectly within their right to dish out punishment on those oiks on our behalf seeing that the USA doesn’t have laws about it.
Henry, I assume your in GB. Westboro couldn’t be arrested here because they have been band from entering the country.
YOu brits made a mistake when they tried to go to Britain some years ago and got turned back at immigration.
Should have taken them in, let them have their vile and then sent them to the tower of london. Do us a favor.

Uh huh. Yep, you’re SO right, David……. Seriously, man, get over your gay ex-boss and talk to somebody about your issues. I feel sorry for you.
When did they declare this david I missed that edition of the daily mail. I have it cut in squares on a piece of wire in my outside toilet so I can wipe my a*rse with it.
The WBC rhetoric isn’t about gays… its about hate. You don’t picket the funerals of children, butchered in their classrooms because of someone else’s personal life. You do it because you hate.
Well done Anonymous, hope you do a really good job on the WBC as it’s been a long time coming and well deserved.
Interesting that those touting “freedom of religion” never address the forcible brainwashing of children into such things rather than letting them mature and make such decisions for themselves.
What genre of gay porn? (lol)
Hopefully one where the ‘actors’ are dressed up as Christian figures etc.
This has made my day.
Wesboro church has been abusing freedom of speech and we all know it.
Way to go. Anonymous !!
How do you abuse freedom of speech. It is an absolute. You can’t be half pregnant, you can’t be half free.

All power to Anonymous for doing something about a group that the American government is unable to touch!
So free speech until you say so?
It amazes me how many people here don’t get the concept at all.
With every right comes responsibility.
Abuse your rights, lose your rights… We have people in jail around the world for abusing their rights, so we must be acknowledging that rights have limits.

No it’s not.
“…. you can’t be half free.”
Yes you can.
So you are a liar, living in your own imagination.
Really? Which half can be free while the other is in prison? You have got an imagination.
That’s a somewhat fallacious analogy.
Freedom is a relative quality; one compares a given individual’s freedom to another and states that one is more free than another. Assuming a quantifiable “freedom” scale, then the phrase “half free” is a perfectly meaningful one.

Thank God that someone has finally taken on these hate mongers, who choose the most vulnerable to attack and torture.
