Julie Banderas WBC Blowout
To see a little fur fly, check out the screamfest between Fox News' Julie Banderas and Shirley Phelps-Roper of the bizarre cult that calls itself the Westboro Baptist Church:
WBC is the group of kooks who have been traveling around the country to the funerals of fallen American soldiers, where they stage protests that look like this:
The audacity of trying to turn heroes' funerals into sideshows in order to draw attention to their odious ideology is only topped by their righteous proclamations that it's all in the name of Christianity.
I doubt they've converted many to their point of view, but they have certainly managed to find some people's boiling point — including Julie Banderas's. Here's a partial transcript of Saturday's Big Story Weekend via WorldNetDaily:
Banderas: "The Bible says 'the fear of the Lord is hatred of evil,' [from the Book of] Proverbs. 'Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.' Perverted speech like yours: 'God hates fags.' You are preaching absolute B.-., and you know the final letter."
Phelps-Roper: "If you don't tell them that this nation is full of idolatry, full of adulteries ..."
Banderas: "Full of insane people like yourself, ma'am."
Phelps-Roper: "You're proud. You're proud of your sins. You can't do enough sinning. You think 'gay' pride, bimbo. You have sinned away your day of grace."
Banderas: "OK, you are an abomination."
Phelps-Roper: "America is doomed. America is doomed. ... Before your eyes, missy, you're gonna see the destruction of America."
Banderas: "If America is doomed, then why don't you get out? Why are you in this country? Why are you an American? Are you an American?"
Phelps-Roper: "I am exactly where my God put me to tell you plainly, that you are going to hell, and there's nothing you can do about it."
Banderas: "Why don't you take your church to another country, then, ma'am? Thank you so much. You should not be proud to be an American, and thank you. Good-bye."
If this "church" gets under your skin too, you might consider joining the Patriot Guard Riders, a commendable group whose members attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family to shield them from WBC's tasteless theatrics.

Julie Banderas might have mentioned that, before the war, Fred Phelps and his band of nutjobs went to Iraq as human shields to support Saddam Hussein. That sure sounds like something Jesus would do; travel to an Islamic country to support a bloodthirsty dictator who paid off terrorists to kill Jews.
She also might have mentioned that the Baptist church has renounced any ties with Fred Phelps and his congregation.
There's also the matter of Fred Phelps political affiliation: yellow dog democrat. In fact, Al Gore as a senator was only too happy to accept their endorsement.

She is incredibly hot. I mean, wow. If they came to a funeral of one of my loved ones, I would shoot them. I absolutely would, and that's not talking big on a computer, that's not running my mouth, I would spray those cock suckers.

Excellent reporting! Julie Banderas is courageous, moral and very beautiful. I just became a fan.
Those "church" people are more disgusting than skunk vomit. The church lady yelling at Banderas is an ugly skank, a foul mouth and a blackened soul.
