Westboro Baptist Church Met by Counter-Protesters at the White House

The Westboro Baptist Church, for those of you who don't know, is an extremist group famous for things such as the "God Hates Fags" slogan, protesting soldier funerals, and apparently now making death chants at President Barack Obama. At this point it's hard to take these guys seriously for me really, because the only attention they get is either comical or just highlighting how extreme and out there they are. However, Kellan Baker in this article is my new hero. He put together the "Phelps-a-thon" (Phelps is the family name of those behind the WBC) which raised money as long as the WBC protesters were at the White House, netting $500 for Gays and Lesbians Opposing Violence. FANTASTIC! And to top it all off, Fred Phelps is stilled banned from the UK. I don't often get chances to say this in life, but... neener neener neener!
