Conversations with God Hates ->-bleeped-<-s/Westboro Baptist Church

I promised I'd post a transcripts of my conversations with people in God Hates ->-bleeped-<-s, so here's a brief account of my encounter made available only on Bilerico. Links will take you to my previous Bilerico posts.
It's Monday, December 4, outside the Democratic National Committee Headquarters which also serves as Obama's transition office. 233 S. Michigan.
I'm here to cover the Westboro Baptist Church, also known as God Hates ->-bleeped-<-s because of the signs they carry with that message. I'd already shown up earlier in the week at the Federal Building on Dearborn (Obama's Senate office), where they were supposed to have appeared but didn't. So, I'm understandably thrilled to see the bright signs from inside the bus, as it pulls up at the stop. These are professional signs, with large, bold images and simple phrases like "God Hates Pakistan," and "Antichrist Obama."

Reminds of the old Hicks routine where the waitress at a truckstop asks him, "What'rya readin' for?"

Covering them is the thing they want most, might as well as sunk to your knees and sucked 'em all off. You did just what they wanted you too. Welcome to the Dark Side, where your ego to write eclipses the need to just ignore some things.

That would seem to depend on your choice of god.
