In the realm of asshats, there is plenty of diversity; from douchebags who hit on your significant other in a bar when you’re right fucking there to bloggers who use terminology for vaginal irrigation as pejoratives, people cutting you off in traffic to shave a split second off of their travel time, and of course the generic “using a cell phone loudly in line for something” asshole.
Then, of course, there are people who making being vile, disgusting excuses for humans their every day life. Enter Fred Phelps, and his bag of dicks from the Westboro Baptist “Church.” From Gay RVA:
According to the website of anti-homosexual propagandist Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church, a team of picketers will be making their way through Richmond on Tuesday, March 2. The picketing schedule posted on GodHatesFags.com begins the day at the Virginia Holocaust Museum. Anti-Semitic descriptions of each event accompany the calendar with stops at the University of Richmond Hillel at the JCC, and the Jerusalem Connection.

They get their rocks off by traveling around the country being complete and total pricks. Their operation of spewing out-of-context passages from their bronze-age mythos is primarily funded by suing people who are so pissed off by their very presence that they act out physically against these assholes, throwing bottles, pushing, or worse. So why are GayRVA and RVA Magazine validating them?
Several reasons. First and foremost, if we believed that these idiots were exercising their first amendment rights to the trees, we’d leave them alone. But they’re not. They’re in public, assaulting people with their filth. The only way to deal with it that we can see is to show up, en masse, with more people and louder voices, to drown them out as best we can. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.
