LI anti-Jewish rally Leads to Counter-Protest
Nearly two dozen members of the Jewish Defense Organization came out today and protested an anti-Semitic group from Kansas that spewed hate outside a Long Island synagogue just days before Yom Kippur.
The Jewish group and members of Westboro Baptist Church got into a shouting match outside Chabad of Great Neck as cops looked on.
“If we don’t stop them … they will be in my neighborhood next,” said counter-protestor Ira Chazan, a Jew who lives in Queens Village.
About a dozen members of the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church shouted and waved signs that read, “God Hates Jews” and “Israel is Doomed!”
Great Neck Mayor Ralph Kreitzman said the group chose the Long Island town because the population is largely Jewish. He encouraged people to “totally avoid and ignore these people.”
“These people hate everybody,” Kreitzman added. “They just don’t hate Jews.”
The hate group — known for its appearances around the country to denounce Jews and gays — said on its Web site today that it also plans to picket other locations in Great Neck, including a high school and a temple.
rednecks!
And sadly, G-d also made a bunch of pathetic hicks like these….

They are quite likely liberal plants just to paint a picture that the right are a bunch of haters. They are more likely leftist haters.
reminds me of something...
KKK?
stands for Klu Klux Klan. more widespread directly after the Civil War and when the blacks started getting rights
they hated and still hate everyone and everything without reason
it’s impossible to talk sense to them
ignore them – don’t waste your breath

This is not a hate “group”, it’s just ONE FAMILY. They only do this to get attention. They make their money by suing people who attack them. If everyone would ignore them it would stop being fun for them, and they’d stop doing it.

The westboro babtist is not a “church”, it is a hate group. They are in it for the money and the press. Most of the members of this “church” are attorneys, so they get away with this. Any one can say they are a “church”, that is not going to make you a Church! We in this country let a lot pass for “church”. This is not about freedom, it is about being human. The hate is a way to make money, by bringing a Lawsuit against people THEY have provoked. They are running a “church” scam. But, add a bit of crazy on the side just for show.
