Fred Phelps's Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) totally wimped out on the big picket they had planned during today's Seattle Pride Picnic.  WBC are the "God Hates Fags" people.  This is what they said on their picket schedule:

2nd Annual Pride Picnic in Seattle, WA ...WBC will picket the filthy fags and their enablers, not the least of which is their sponsors, Amazon, Microsoft, YMCA, FUZE, and Seattle Gay News.  No doubt you have all heard that God Hates Fags and Fag Enablers, and both are worthy of death (hell).

Even though WBC members managed to show up for their early morning pickets of Mars Hill Church and Christian Faith Center, several of them seemed to only be going through the motions.  Most notable was Fred Phelps's granddaughter Jael Phelps who rarely lifted her eyes from her phone or her feet from their roots in the sidewalk, leading me to wonder whether God Hates WBC Picket Slackers.  Photos of slacker Jael, plus more Seattle fabulousness and some closing words from two loving Christians, below the fold.

Now the WBC (Westboro Baptist Church) claims that they have done over 45,948 protests, that they have visit over 800 cities. If ones would look at their Picket Schedule, some time there are multi protest on someday and on other back to back protest in different states, where you have to wonder just how could they make them.

Where are they getting the money to travel all over the US, They have been banned from Canada, and England after one of their pickets.. I notice they talk a lot of crap about a few mid-east countries, but they won’t travel to countries, simply because they would never return home which would make the whole US very happy…

I have to wonder if the younger generation of the Phelps clan don’t really like these pickets. That they are force to do these pickets because Mommy and Daddy are forcing them.. If this family wasn’t a bunch of lawyers the state local family service dept. might have taken these kids away long ago. Family Service would claim this was some type of child abuse.

Side note almost the whole Phelps clan in on Twitter, and Google, as a result of the attack to their sites by anonymous a few months back their sites (all of them) were hack, however the clan claims they were updating codes. They didn’t what people to know Anonymous did take out their sites. While they turn to the free services of Google to host their protest fliers, twitter was used to spread their hateful speech to many..

Via the Urlesque,

First, the secretive, loosely organized collective of pranksters and hackers known as Anonymous said they would target the Westboro Baptist Church. Then the WBC said "Bring it." Then Anonymous was all, "jk lol."

But today, at least a few members of Anonymous were able to successfully bring down the WBC's site, and left a message behind. The site's down, but you can view the open letter to the WBC after the jump.

UPDATE: We also have video of Anonymous pulling off the hack during a TV interview with an Anonymous source and a Westboro representative.
