They say that the Westboro Church with their "God hates fags" signs were inadvertantly one of the best things that happened to the gay rights movement. They forced people to confront their own prejudices and decide who they really wanted to be aligned with. Like Lavalava says "give him enough rope"...Leave him be. Ignore him. The more you notice him the more important he feels.

Well Said Mr Epperson and Lavalava .
What gets me is no one protests about the Porn shoppe directly across the street on the corner.Right next to the down town park for the children.
Nor does Mr Borden and his hate truck ever say anything in his visual pollution about the Porn shoppe right next to him.
Yes we agree,just ignore Mr crazy pay S.S.I.
Your tax dollars hard at work .

I remember when that store was forced to move from its Keaau location ... because it was so "inappropriate" to have it across from the school "where children might see it".

He wasn't there yesterday most likely because his cheesy paper signs would have gotten wet. Probably won't be back until the rain lets up. Seems like a fair-weather hater.

His "church" has no congregation to preach to. If you comment, he has gotten your attention, thus, an open door....

It could make a good opportunity for parents to discuss intolerance with their children.
