Westboro Baptist kooks to picket at Ronnie James Dio's memorial service.

[trekgeezer]

You know them if you're in the U.S., they're the idiots that protest at our war veteran's funerals.  After all the US government is the greatest bunch of Fag enablers on the planet.  I'm just wondering how a bunch heavy metal rockers are gonna take this little protest.

Here's the Westboro Baptists official page if you wanna know what they're all about, they're one sick bunch of folks. http://www.godhatesfags.com/

OT:
This past Wednesday, my friend Micheal Miracle dedicated his show "Lotus Land" to Dio.

This guy's career dates back to 1957, & his first single in 1962 was "An Angel is missing (From Heaven Tonight)", with Ronnie & The RedCaps, a milquetoast Frankie Avalon style love song.

Michael played a few more singles, from a couple other groups Dio was with, & it seemed to progress from crooning, to hippie music, & onward.

I got the impression that this guy's career pretty much mirrors "This is Spinal Tap".

I believe the Westboro a-holes will find metal fans to be less permissive than their usual targets.

[Joe the Destroyer]

OH, NO THEY DIDN'T!!!!



Or won't, in this case...

[Allhallowsday]

They're idiots; "surname" is not "sir name".

Yep, let the emotional and physical scarring begin. 

[Sleepyskull]

Those jerks really need to get a life.

To quote the Scriptures:  "Be not deceived, God is not mocked; whatsoever a man soweth, the same shall he reap."

These phony Christians have been preaching hate in the name of God for over a decade now.  At some point, they are going to reap a harvest of hate that may well leave some of them dead.  I don't wish that on anyone, but you can only intrude your hateful foolishness on grieving people for so long before someone snaps.  And when that happens, Phelps and his sick crew will have no one but themselves to blame.  Why do I call them phony Christians? 

I will quote the Scriptures again:  "He that loveth not knoweth not God, for God is love."

Aint these people got anything better to do?

[3mnkids]

These people feed on news coverage. If people would just ignore their ignorant asses they would go away. They want a confrontation so they can play the victim.

Or, people could do like a group in San Fran did...  http://laughingsquid.com/san-franciscos-answer-to-westboro-baptist-church/

Westboro Baptist Church showed up to protest in front of Twitter's San Francisco office on Thursday, but found themselves severely outnumbered by a crowd of absurdist pranksters, including guest blogger EDW Lynch above

.  Hilarious.   

[indianasmith]

That was funny!!!!

[Allhallowsday]

Thanks, 3mnkids... I've got a big smile plastered on my face.

This is what I would do if those a-holes try to picket Dio's funeral:

I would gather a mass army of metalheads (about 300 or so) to come to the funeral. The minute those parasites take out their signs and start shouting, I would turn up the volume full blast in a car radio (with some Slayer of course) and then yell at the top of my lungs: MOSHPIT!!!!, and then lead the metalheads, in a crazed frenzy, in a mad stampede charging at the protestors.

[Joe the Destroyer]

I suggest we use the WBC to plug up the leaks for PB.  That would kill two birds with one stone.

There are comments on youtube saying that the church had cut it's phoneline because they were called hundreds of times and everytime someone was playing Holy Diver.
