Do you believe the Westboro Baptist Church should be classified as a hate group?

Yes, because they are... and doing so does not supress their right to free speech.

Their tax exempt status must be bumped off because of the fact they seem to be a hate group. I disagree that in simple terms ignoring them is the acceptable attitude. That has been tried and Nazi Germany replaced into the respond. you are able to desire to renowned the poison on your society and communicate up approximately it. no longer an American, subsequently can not sign the petition, yet i might if i could desire to. solid success.

Yes and they should be exiled to a remote island where they can be their corrupt selves without corrupting anyone else.

And for those who are saying all Christians should, that's ridiculous. I know lots of Christians and they're good people...nothing like the Westboro Baptist Church.

It's been "monitored" by at least two groups. One of these, the Southern Poverty Law Center, does label some groups as hate groups.

I think that they should be jailed for all the pain and misery they have put so many through.

I do not hate their goal i share it i want people to get to heaven and to love God but they way in which these extremist group perform there actions is unbelievable

If Jesus was alive now and not in the WBC he would be going to hell according to them

Yes

no,only because when power over churches is given for 1 good reason,then many wrongs will come to the good ones and cause them to close for fear of teaching what sin is. 1 bad apple can destroy the bunch

Same question yesterday ... Same answer today:~

Whatever they do ... they are no less a "hate group" than

the people who continually post hatred about them ...

" Two wrongs don't make a right "

and Two hates don't make a love.

Yes.

HELL YES.

Since all their time is spent spouting their nonsense about 'fags' and 'dead soldiers' at funerals etc, their religious affiliations mean nothing.

Yes, but a worse hate group than this one, is feminism.
