Ku Klux Klan distances itself from Westboro Baptist Church
The Ku Klux Klan has distanced itself from Westboro Baptist Church, saying it “absolutely repudiates” the church’s activities.
The KKK, which is an extreme right-wing hate group in the US, said in a press release about its aims that it did not have any connection with the homophobic church.
Led by pastor Fred Phelps, the Westboro Baptist Church is notorious for causing distress to bereaved families by picketing the funerals of US soldiers killed abroad.
In the release, the KKK says: “The Ku Klux Klan LLC has not or EVER will have ANY connection with the Westboro Baptist Church. We absolutely repudiate their activities.”
Both, however, are vociferously opposed to same-sex marriage, although the KKK now states it sees no issue with civil unions as an alternative.
KKK > WBC? Wow.
wthuh?
Whaaat…
I’m…so confused…
Folks, when even the Klan looks more reasonable than you, you’ve officially lost your entire audience. You can go back to the hole you crawled out of now.
S0, the ‘distance’ is reduced from 2 steps to 13 steps back….but the rest of us are a REAL distance from all this bullshit….a million f*****g light years.
Sometimes this country seems to have just way to much affinity for hate! What is up with us?
Is it wrong that I find this a little bit funny?
Can you imagine the meeting where they decided on this?
“I mean, I hate nigger faggot kikes as much as the next guy, but this is just taking it a little too far. We have an image to uphold here!”
It’s the picketing soldiers funerals, God Hates America bits that they object to, I assume, although that is a funny mental image.
What I find most interesting though is that the Klan accepts civil unions. That seems pretty fuckin’ progressive for the Klan! There’s a fact for the government here to start waving around when they finally get a move on with the civil partnership bill, and Cóir start objecting.
