Were they actually here? When I drove past at 3:30 there was absolutely no evidence of them at all. If so, where were they?

They got on the wrong flight and ended up in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Decided to drink some lemonade and then sit a spell.

I never saw them either.

At about noon, I saw them on the west side of Candlers Mt Rd, between the church and Toys R Us. Maybe a dozen or so, holding signs with their typical lingo. They seemed to be drawing little attention, which is good. I'm sure they got a few seconds on the news cameras.

We're the people that would be affected the least from their crap.

Awww. And that's all they really wanted. Those cute little hatemongers.

I didn't see them, nor did I hear anything about them. Which is the way it should be.

Evidently they were there if someone tried to blow them up...unfortunately, it was one of our students.

They don't deserve to be spit on, let alone have any air time. Ironically, they're protesting in a Toys R' Us parking lot, as little children, where they belong.

Wow, you should go check out their web site. You talk about someone who can twist scripture to fit their needs. Especially read the debate he had that was VERY interesting stuff. I encourage you all to check it out and edify yourself

For some reason, WBC's site is blocked from campus. Maybe it has something to do with their pleasant little url.

I tried to access their website from here where I work (a totally secular community agency) and it was blocked due to "the rating of it's content: intolerance/extremism"
