Anonymous declares war on Westboro Baptist Church

[lilah]

All I can say is that if there was ever a group that deserved the wrath of Anonymous it is these asshats.

Anonymous Attacks Westboro Baptist Church Over Sandy Hook Funeral Protest

 

Eric Limer

 

Following the Sandy Hook shooting tragedy, the Westboro Baptist Church is unsurprisingly stirring up controversy by doing one of the things they do best: being assholes and picketing funerals. Your friendly, faceless, neighborhood hacking group Anonymous has responded by doing what they do best: publishing private information, in this case, about the members of the Westboro Baptist Church.

 

Anonymous has now published a list of Westboro Baptist Church members along with plenty of personal information such as home addresses, emails, and phone numbers. On the more legal end of the activism spectrum, the group is also pushing a petition to legally recognize the Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group. And what do you know, it's already gotten the required number of signatures.

 

Anonymous also released a video, explaining—with characteristic Anonymous flair—the group's beef with the church:

 

 

"Since your one-dimensional thought protocol will conform not to any modern logic, we will not debate, argue, or attempt to reason with you. Instead, we have unanimously deemed your organization to be harmful to the population of The United States of America, and have therefore decided to execute an agenda of action which will progressively dismantle your institution of deceitful pretext and extreme bias, and cease when your zealotry runs dry. We recognize you as serious opponents, and do not expect our campaign to terminate in a short period of time. Attrition is our weapon, and we will waste no time, money, effort, and enjoyment, in tearing your resolve into pieces, as with exposing the incongruity of your distorted faith."

Hasn't Anonymous already declared war on the WBC awhile ago?

If their starting point is that the WBC's faith is incongruous and their goal is to expose it, that seems like a waste of time. It's pretty obvious that they've made little effort with their theology, and many people believe that they aren't serious. Anon should stick to damaging their organization and not bother giving their "beliefs" any more attention than they already get.

No, WBC said Anonymous did, but they didn't. They finally got irritated by WBC insisting and took down their webpage for a day, but that was about it. Given that I now have all of the contact info for every WBC member I'd say that they're in to it now.

Let's see here.....

:character-beavisbutthead:

That ought to do it.

How have they not been reconised as a hate group up to this point? Was it just paperwork? I am serious, I wonder how it took this long.

Bullshit.

You're not fucking anonymous because you're not even IN America, nor give a flying fuck about anyone in America enough to make a stand like this, you're a pathetic troll that says disgusting things and needs to be piled on.

I'm glad to see someone going after WBC. They have it coming.

[GiggleOfGirls]

They surely do have it coming and hopefully Anonymous will take them down. Hard.

I look forward to seeing havoc wreaked. Suck it, WBC.

And now $6500 from the hacked WBC paypal account has been spent on gay porn and charitable donations according to the Anonymous twitter feed.

Oh and Shirley Phelps Roper has had her twitter account taken over by Anon too. Couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

[wtfrenchtoast]

Omg. I love this.

I can't find this on the Twitter feed. Got a link?

[GiggleOfGirls]

It really couldn't happen to a more deserving organization right now.

For the first time today, my work internet filter has blocked the WBC website for "HATE/DISCRIMINATION". It's been awhile since I have been to their website, but I'm certain I've been able to access it from work before.
