What you can do is walk up to them and ask for directions or something with a megaphone and when they say to get rid of the megaphone just ask what they are talking about procede to bug them all day about this phantom megaphone till they attack then sue them for all their hate money.

You cant stop religion, you can say that what they believe is wrong and can be incredibly racist and harmful, but you cant stop them without also being incredibly racist or harmful...

But who the fuck cares! I dont even live in America or have any relation to anyone who does but this is just wrong and stupid, and it is completely disrespectful for the people who have died and to say they "died for the homosexual and the other sins of america" is just a disgrace.

Then, I stumble upon this..
http://www.godhatesfags.com/fliers/20110811_Dead-Soldier-Canton-OH-Daniel-Patton.pdf

So escapist, what should we do about it?
I will be standing outside of the church to support the family, if they do happen to show up and disrupt the funeral, what should we do? Complain to the police that they're disturbing the police? Pretend we can't hear them?

I just have no clue what to think about this...
I didn't read the article, but I assume they want to protest his funeral, do what everyone else has done, encourage the town/city council to ban protest at funerals.

Recruit the bronies to hold up signs saying "Love and Tolerance" and "God thinks ponies are cool". Then go around through the crowd offering free hugs, and as you hug, be sure to whisper "I'll love and tolerate the shit out of you" REEEEEEEEALLY close to their ear.
Try also: "Lemurs like to masturbate in public;" "Adult elephants can't jump;" "Angles are from the southern end of Denmark;" "Saxons are from south-east of Berlin;" "The Welsh are the real Britons;" "Red hair isn't really an Irish trait;" "The duck-billed platypus finds its prey by tracking the electrical signature of the shrimps' heart-beats;" "Basking sharks only eat plankton and krill;" and of course: "Apart from my underwear, I'm completely naked under my clothes."

If you're going to do the speaker thing, bear in mind that most speakers are designed to send sound out into a room, and thus could disturb the funeral you're trying to protect, and it'd be better and more respectful to restrict the sound to a smaller area ...

... so you should build your own reflectors and really FOCUS the 3kW output of those speakers. I'm sure xkcd [http://xkcd.com/316/] could help with the design and even some ammunition [http://xkcd.com/368/] but the basic idea's pretty old and pretty simple, having supposedly been used by Archimedes:


Got to love the fact the cameraman walked right through the beam at 0:59 then turned the camera towards the mirrors.

With sound from speakers rather than sunlight, you don't have to adjust for time and can aim more precisely.

If you don't like the Macarena, try something soothingly religious:

If you don't like the religious numbers, try this:

... or for something wrist-slittingly long-winded:

It's better like this:
... but you don't want to be nice to them!

I was tempted by "The Power Of Love" but I think telling them to Just Walk Away is funnier ... and it's a better song.

I think a peaceful counter-protest is a good idea. I'd try to get as many people as possible, maybe some with musical instruments and get a good round of your national anthem in, preferably every time they start preaching.
They might preach that god hates your country but you can show your support for the man who died for it.

No it is not. Fred Phelps and a few other members of his family are lawyers and they cut their teeth fighting for civil rights in the 70s (I know, weird right?) They sue the bejeebus out of anyone who assaults them and they make a killing. If you hit one of them, they get what they want. Not to mention there is usually a police barrier between them and you, along with several cops. You'll get the worst of it if you assualt them.

I would have said throw bricks at those cunts but if that's what violence will bring there's no point. Organise the people in your area and counter-protest. Or if you can't organise a proper counter-protest just get as many people as you can and heckle the living fuck out of them.

I don't advocate this, but's it's the CIA approved method of slowing people the hell down.

As a resident of Kansas, I believe I have the perfect solution for dealing with Westboro. This method is tried-and-true; being adapted by Kansasans who hate the fact that Westboro calls their state home.

IGNORE THEM AND THEY WILL GO AWAY!
But apparently that hasn't worked yet has it.
It would if people actually ignored them. If they felt like their message had no impact, they would pack up and go home. In fact, most of Topeka has this method down, and they hardly ever protest in Topeka anymore.
