The Westboro Baptist Church {wiki} held a demonstration in front of the Twitter office in San Francisco on Thursday. Even more people showed up for a counter protest, featuring the best protest signs I’ve ever seen. See more signs at Laughing Squid. Link

It’d be great if they just didn’t pay attention to the church…then they might stop protesting. Paying attention to them will just give them more fuel to the fire.

Why are these people trying to embarrass other Christians? And why does God hate Twitter?

God Hates The Westboro Baptist Church.
He’s just slightly annoyed with me.

Wow, well obviously their message had no validity, but it really annoys me how the hate these guys spread reflects back on the good that more sane and sensible Christians have done.

“Why are these people trying to embarrass other Christians? And why does God hate Twitter?”
The Westboro folks are NOT Christians. They are evil hate mongers who goad people into violence so they can sue them. Read up on them or watch the Fox news interview with that Phelps woman if you can stomach it.
They’re disgusting and inhuman.

Lol, those signs are hilarious. The “I Have a Sign”, “Me”, and “I’m Tired” ones made me crack up.
Boy am I easily amused.. yay

my favorite protest signs come out of the prop-8 debate.
“we can’t all marry liza mennelli”
and for anybody who says that counter protesting the phelps is going to make it worse, you don’t know the phelps. they will do what they do regardless of the world around them, so people might as well have fun with it.

Well god does hate kittens. Everybody knows that; no need to protest.
P.S.
I lurve snark like this, even if it comes from a church.

In the New Jersey Westboro Baptist Church protest someone showed up with a sign that said “GOD LOVES DAT ASS”

Wait, the Westboro asshats have signs that say “God hates Jews” And “God hates Obama?” I thought it was just us gays they had a problem with.
Wouldn’t it just be easier for them to hold up signs saying “God hates everyone that isn’t exactly like me”?

un-fortunatly I live in Kansas City so I get to see these people (WBC) all the time. I’m all for counter protesting them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aod2pYjE4lM

wow, just look at this terrible cross-section of unfunny sign jokes and nerds.

It would probably be blasphemous so you could keep it as the original, but I think the Demotivator of Optimus Prime that reads “*Facepalm* – Shut up… Just… just stop. Please. My head hurts.” with a picture of Jesus facepalming would probably work too. Then again, like I said, if it’s too blasphemous, then just keep the original.
That said, I saw a picture of one used at a counter-protest for a production of The Laramie Project that said “God Hates FarmVille.” That one made me lol.
