Actually what I’d love to see is Anonymous digging up enough documentation and making it public to make it clear that Westboro’s tax status is bullshit. There must be some standards for tax status as a church or everyone and their brother would be setting up their own church tax shelter. ---

Hell, the freaking [KKK](http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2012/12/18/kkk-step-in-to-counter-god-hates-fags-picket-at-military-memorial-ceremony/) finds the WBC intolerable. If you’re so extreme that the KKK feels the need to take a stand against you, you’re clearly doing something wrong. ---

There must be some standards for tax status as a church or everyone and their brother would be setting up their own church tax shelter. Scientology has been highly successful doing this very thing… Anonymous is after them, too. ---

In my fantasy there’s a world wide “When i’m calling you” sing-along aimed at the WBC congregation followed by the sound of popcorn. ---

This link is to a cartoon from 2009, from the newspaper cartoon Rubes. I had a chance to ask the artist, Leigh Rubin, if he was thinking of Freddy, when Rubin appeared here in Topeka at our library. The link is for all seven cartoons that week, scroll down to the next to last one. > **[Rubes® for Jul 04, 2023, by Leigh Rubin](https://www.creators.com/read/rubes)** > > Rubes® for Jul 04, 2023, by Leigh Rubin [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/westboro-vs-anonymous-re-sandy-hook-shooting/644321.md?page=1)
