This tweet from Aaron Suttles prompted me to look at their website even though I didn't want to.


Aaron Suttles ?@AaronSuttles

So the crazies from Westboro are coming to Tuscaloosa to protest. Best course of action? Ignore. Love is more powerful than hate.




They have a link to their picket schedule and here is what I found.

Oxford, MS you are first from 8:00-8:30am

Tuscaloosa, AL we are next at 12:00-12:30pm

Post some good ideas for funny signs and lets go stand near them when they get to t-town.

My first thought was "Saban hates Westboro"

Good for them.

Glad they aren't relevant at all anymore.

Just ignore them

I wouldn't come if I were them. We don't exactly have a great track record with allowing people their constitutional rights.

They're saying gay people caused the tornado

I have no idea what they're doing in Oxford

ETA: It would be great if they ended up in the "wrong" Tuscaloosa neighborhood

WBC has planned a series of demonstrations from May 17-22, including those at Graceland, the former home of Elvis Presley, in Memphis, Tenn., on May 17 and at the University of Mississippi -- to protest the idolization of football and its players -- on May 18. The group also plans to picket President Obama's commencement address at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga., on May 19.


They are dimwits...

I can't believe that of all of the reasons they could picket Ole Miss, they chose football team and player idolization. They clearly aren't football fans.

ATTENTION
Everyone that lives in these two towns needs to buy silly string and apply it to their faces next weekend. Me included.
