Westboro Baptists Escape White House Label As Hate Group

The Obama administration this week turned down the request of 367,000 petitioners and refused to label Westboro Baptist Church a hate group.

The reason? It’s not the government’s role to designate the church — a 50-member unit that pickets funerals with signs that denounce homosexuality — as a hate group, CNN reported.

The White House was responding to a petition drive on its “We The People” website that stood at the most-read, highest-priority spot for months, garnering much more than 100,000 signatures needed to generate a federal response, CNN said.

And yet the tea party and vets are put on a hate group list while this group rolls on as well as the black panthers !

If this group is not a hate group, I don't know what is. I am a baptist, but I follow what it says in the Bible....love one another. I love my fellow man.....even the people who hate me. When I see something like this in the news I just shake my head and wonder how far people have strayed from what Jesus preached. We should be lifting each other up...not tearing each other down.

The way old Oslama flip flops on everything, who really knows his truth. Does he really have any? But for certain, we all know that he's a foreig born muslim posing as the first 50% black president. We also know he's doing everything in his power to take away gun ownership rights and impose his unwanted will of Obama Socialist Care on those that do not want it. Look how well it works in Canada, they pay to come here for operstions that Canada is unwilling to pay for or allow. Enjoy your health care now, soon you'll be forced to go to other countries for some of the procedures that you currently take for granted today. Not much of a president in my opinion, more like a muslim that, down deep, not really that deep, hates America and the people who love it. He's your president 5:10pm, not mine!

It's a church, they should keep their nose out of it. You may disagree with their approach, but they have the right to do what they do. You also have the right to not watch their story, not click their website or links, and not mention them so they disappear into the abyss of the world.

The more they are brought up, the more they are active. Let them disappear.
