Westboro strikes again, springfield Illinois KISS concert.

"WBC will picket the KISS concert at Prairie Captial Convention Center in Springfield, IL to preach the Gospel message that God Hates Fags, Fags Doom Nations ..."

Which I can't actually get to, and the guy at the gas station who told me about it in the first place, apparently there is a counter picket opportunity in Springfield at illinois State Capitol and the UNited Jewish Fund, and then at the KISS concert.  Tomorrow, 7/18.  I wish I could go.

LMAO  WBC  is   really  reaching for  stuff to picket. Last time I looked  Kiss wasn't  gay, perhaps WBC  missed the memo??? From what I heard from  my  front  porch last  weekend  KISS puts on a  pretty  good concert  too,  very  loud   even I don't think WBC will even  be heard, over the fireworks and all. :D:

I can remember back when some religious groups would picket KISS concerts because they were sure KISS was involved in Satanism.  Now KISS is so mainstream WBC just uses them for their silly "God hates Fags" protests. Times, they do change.

Wish it was the last one too, meaning I wish that they (WBC) would just go away.  They picketed Iron Maiden's last tour, last year in California.  Its obvious that their only goal is to get someone to attack them physically so that they can sue them latter.  I was quite proud of the Maiden fans for ignoring them or just mocking them as they stood in line to get in to the venue.  

I am very happy they don't show up here, so I don't have to listen to their nonsense.

Why didn't we think of it sooner!  WBC picketed a KISS concert because they need money!  Well money and to satisfy their histrionic tendencies....

I remember when they tried to picket Comic-Con in San Diego last year. The counter-protest that was organized was just...awesome. They really should have known better in that instance. :D

Too far for me to go to counter protest! It's really sad that I almost wish they'd come here. There last "tour" in Colorado was canceled because they couldn't get out of Kansas. Officially, it was because of the weather, but I like to think the Christian god shot up their vehicle. It was cool that they didn't show up because all the counter protesters and the cops were celebrating in the street. We were all glad we didn't have to see them. But it also sadly means my "Thor Likes Kittens" sign didn't get to be used.
