Westboro Baptist Church vs. Synagogue

[mattm04]

The WBC decided to protest a NY Synagogue. In response the Synagogue asked people to donate $1 for every minute 6 pritesters were around.

Total take $10,000.

brilliant! Simply brilliant!!

I hope this starts a trend, start a pledge/fund raiser everytime they show up, and they inadvertantly help the causes they protest. Beautiful!!

"Sinners! Those vile sinners! We'll show them! We'll have an even BIGGER protest!"

So what 30K in 50 mins then donated to the 'sinners'?

That was clever! Raising money for a good cause and giving a big middle finger to the bigots in one move!
