On, Wisconsin!
| April 26th, 2008Thank you, Stout denizens, for making this cheesehead proud! From a report in the Dunn County News:
Instead of reacting in kind to WBC’s exhortations, the students rejected the group’s evil epistles and forcefully demonstrated that they embrace the diversity that makes all of us human. And in doing so, they also showed their support for the families and friends of the three students killed in the fire.
As Doug Mell, director of university communications, declared, “They did UW-Stout proud.”
They did the community proud, too.
Supposedly, the WBC Four smiled the whole time the students rallied and were pleased despite their quitting the demonstration far earlier than they’d planned. That is one of the major problems with this and any similarly psychotically fundamentalist group: agree with them and they feel vindicated; ignore them and they feel empowered; dispute them and they argue your inability to understand; fight them and they feel martyred and holy. All we can do is wait for their unholy, un-Christ-like clan to become extinct while doing what we can to make sure that their ideas die with them.
One of the Phelps Phamily Phuckers commented thusly on the counter-demonstration (from the Badger Herald):
Phelps-Roper said the last time the group was confronted with the force showed Thursday was at a protest they had against a Madison high school putting on “The Laramie Project,” a play surrounding the murder of a homosexual college student.
“I have to tell you the brutish children of Wisconsin are a cut above the rest in their rebellion and disobedience and filthy behavior,” Phelps-Roper said.
Amen to that, and thank whatever deity pleases you!
The kids are alright
