Anonymous Hacks The Westboro Baptist Church: Posts All Their Personal Information

I have to say, I love this group!
----------------------------
Commentary – Updated | The hacking collective known as Anonymous renewed their war on the Westboro Baptist Church today. After the haters from the infamous church posted their intentions to picket the funerals of the twenty children killed in the shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, Anonymous responded by re-posting the personal and professional information for members of the church on the Internet. Now the general public can contact the church members directly and tell them what they think about people who would desecrate the funerals of murdered children.

Westboro Baptist Church has been irritating Americans for years with venom filled message about their demented version of God. According to the many closely related and intermarried members of the Phelps family who make up the majority of the congregation of the so-called church, God enjoys killing children and soldiers. They constantly proclaim God hates homosexuals and plans to destroy America for not following the Westboro Baptist Church’s twisted version of Christianity. The incredible obsession with homosexuality expressed by Fred and family seems to many as a sure fire case of “thou dost protest too much.”


Anonymous has been after the Westboro Baptist Church for several months now, hacking their websites repeatedly. Recently, they accused the church of creating a fake letter from the hacking group in order to trick other hackers into attacking the website. Anonymous warned their supporters the church planned to harvest internet addresses and sue people. Suing people is apparently the primary activity of the Westboro Baptist Church when they aren’t screaming hate at funerals.

Of course, Westboro denied the charges and taunted Anonymous as incompetent hackers. They claimed their website was protected by God. Big mistake. A few days later, while a Westboro spokeswoman was boasting about how the church foiled Anonymous on a radio talk show, an Anonymous spokesman called in and hacked the church’s website in real time on the air.

Hopefully saner heads will prevail and nothing terrible will occur if the Westboro Baptist Church shows up in Newtown, Connecticut. The State Police made the extraordinary decision to assign a trooper to each of the victim’s families to prevent unwelcome idiots from tormenting them and to protect their privacy.

It is hard to imagine what kind of person would attend the funerals for these children and promote the hate filled message of the Phelps family and their followers. While we certainly do not condone illegal activity, it is hard not to root for Anonymous as they take it to these sad, pathetic excuses for human beings from the Westboro Baptist Church. If the Church’s website is offline forever, it wouldn’t be a moment too soon for most Americans.

UPDATE 4:00 am CST:

A few minutes after the original commentary was published, The Inquisitr received an email from a sender who claimed to represent Anonymous. The email is similar in content to many other “official” Anonymous emails and we decided to share it with our readers. The email included the following statement:

“Just hacked Westboro’s site. Freedom of speech is one thing. But freedom to hate is another. A domain such as “godhatesfags.com should not exist despite rumblings of members picketing Sandy Hook. Those families have enough anguish to deal with.”

The conflict between Anonymous and the Westboro Baptist Church is building to a fever pitch and judging from the multitude of reader comments on several prominent social media websites, the public strongly supports Anonymous by a ninety nine to one majority.

How do you feel about the war between Anonymous and the Westboro Baptist Church? Do you think Anonymous is doing a good deed by hacking the Church’s website or should everyone respect their First Amendment rights and just try to ignore them?

Reddit got ahold of this this morning, and it's prank central over there.

I HATE HATE HATE what the WBC is doing, but I begrudgingly admit that in America, they have the freedom to do it. That being said, the idea of these scuzzballs getting slews of gay porn catalogs in the mail next week makes me giggle.

I'm the biggest advocate for free speech but what they do is wrong. They make the KKK look like a basket of kittens.

They deserve whatever they get.

I support free speech too - within the boundaries of the law (of course).

Here's my take on it: I feel like their right of free speech can incite riots...unlike, lets say, some dumb thing Ann Coulter says, kwim?

When the started out rioting saying god hates gays, I thought they were stupid.

Then protesting at military funerals.. So gross, but free speech.

Now wanting to turn THIS tragedy into a protest? That can really ignite something in people and have it turn violent. Kids murdered - little kids - and these assholes trying to get a reaction. They just might.

It's the one rare exception where I feel sometimes that the right to free speech is being taken advantage of. It's one rare exception where I feel someone needs to step in and stop it in this case...only because I could see mass violence resulting in them "protesting" this.

Like we all know you can't yell FIRE! in a movie theatre. It would cause panic and people to maybe get injured. I kind of have the same thinking when it comes to this, I guess.

Sometimes things aren't easily black and white, and sometimes our "rights" can be used for very, very wrong. That needs to be further examined.

Re: Anonymous Hacks The Westboro Baptist Church: Posts All Their Personal Information

thats exactly what they want though is the spotlight. I mean, I really don't see the point in what they plan to do. military funerals bc you feel war is sin? ehhh i don't agree but ok...I can see the correlation...but a child's memorial because "god sent the shooter"? how does that change the fact that people died? I mean in my eyes that applies to military too...but I'm trying to see it from their perspective. I don't care if you believe god is responsible for EVERYTHING. People still died. If their belief is true then god chose my baby to die in my womb, which i can accept but should I not have mourned? Should I not have felt sad? Should I not have felt a loss? thats just crazy

When the KKK is speaking out against you, counter-protesting as the voice of reason, you should probably check yourself, Westboro Baptist Church.

OMG, I just did an internet search for them. I never knew their domain name! WTF??????

ETA: Um hate to burst their bubble, but God hates HATE. It also says in the bible that God is the only one that can judge others. It disgusts me that they use God to deliver their message of hate and know so little about Him.

Hurrah for Anonymous! I follow them on Twitter and thanks to their tip yesterday, I have already signed the White House petition at "We The People" asking to have the Westboro Baptist Church officially declared a Hate Group. It might help Westboro to lose its tax exempt status as a church.

Re: Anonymous Hacks The Westboro Baptist Church: Posts All Their Personal Information

This is the same hacking group that took down godaddy and half the Internet a few months ago.

Anyways this time around they also posted the SSN of a few people including Fred the head pastor.

They also posted a bunch of credit card numbers, along with expiration dates and pins that were stored on their web server. lol

I had an.encounter with Westboro while I.was, in Dallas over the summer. They are a bunch of cowards both groups.

Re: Anonymous Hacks The Westboro Baptist Church: Posts All Their Personal Information

They came to Great Neck for some reason and everyone here was freaking out. We got fliers at the LIRR that neo Nazis were coming - it was like 5 people, 2 of them were kids.
