cheered as passers-by honked their support for the protest at Gage
Park in Topeka."

LOL....I bet the nutjobs inside that compound were perturbed. I would have love to have been there and joined in the fun.

I dunno, I appreciate the idea of course, but I HATE seeing this "church" get any attention or press coverage... which is exactly what they want.

They aren't worthy of acknowledgment or a protest, IMHO.

This kind of press coverage is exactly what they want. time and time again they have proven what they really want is access to the media.  protests such as this are just feeding the media and  keeping  the WBC  in the headlines. recently they have canceled planed protests in exchange for radio time.

if we must post this dribble then i would suggest not using their full name in any reference including subject titles.  this would at least keep the web search spiders from linking them to Susan's place. refer to them only as WBC

Regarding subject titles, those tend to be the exact headline as used by the news media. Changing the text of those could easily result in multiple posts of the same article as I try to scan the headlines before posting items. Even so, we sometimes get multiple posts of the same thing.
