Last week, members of the 4chan-affiliated hacktivist collective known as “Anonymous” (once again) set their sights on the controversial hate-mongering congregation of the Westboro Baptist Church, issuing an open letter which calls on the church to “[c]ease & desist your protest campaign in the year 2011″ or “meet with the vicious retaliatory arm of ANONYMOUS.”

The letter goes on to warn that “the damage incurred will be irreversible, and neither your institution nor your congregation will ever be able to fully recover.”

Yesterday, the WBC replied with an open letter of its own, egging the “anonymous coward crybaby ‘hackers’” to “bring it.” WBC’s youth leader Megan Phelps-Roper took to Twitter to thank Anonymous for their threats, adding that “Your efforts to shut up God’s word only serve to publish it further.”

You might be thinking of the Landover Baptist Church. Also, the full anonymous letter:

Open Letter to Westboro Baptist Church

AN OPEN LETTER FROM ANONYMOUS

February 16, 2011

TO THE CONGREGANTS OF WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH:

We, the collective super-consciousness known as ANONYMOUS - the Voice of Free Speech & the Advocate of the People - have long heard you issue your venomous statements of hatred, and we have witnessed your flagrant and absurd displays of inimitable bigotry and intolerant fanaticism. We have always regarded you and your ilk as an assembly of graceless sociopaths and maniacal chauvinists & religious zealots, however benign, who act out for the sake of attention & in the name of religion.

Being such aggressive proponents for the Freedom of Speech & Freedom of Information as we are, we have hitherto allowed you to continue preaching your benighted gospel of hatred and your theatrical exhibitions of, not only your fascist views, but your utter lack of Christ-like attributes. You have condemned the men and women who serve, fight, and perish in the armed forces of your nation; you have prayed for and celebrated the deaths of young children, who are without fault; you have stood outside the United States National Holocaust Museum, condemning the men, women, and children who, despite their innocence, were annihilated by a tyrannical embodiment of fascism and unsubstantiated repugnance. Rather than allowing the deceased some degree of peace and respect, you instead choose to torment, harass, and assault those who grieve.

Your demonstrations and your unrelenting cascade of disparaging slurs, unfounded judgments, and prejudicial innuendos, which apparently apply to every individual numbered amongst the race of Man - except for yourselves - has frequently crossed the line which separates Freedom of Speech from deliberately utilizing the same tactics and methods of intimidation and mental & emotional abuse that have been previously exploited and employed by tyrants and dictators, fascists and terrorist organizations throughout history.

ANONYMOUS cannot abide this behavior any longer. The time for us to be idle spectators in your inhumane treatment of fellow Man has reached its apex, and we shall now be moved to action. Thus, we give you a warning: Cease & desist your protest campaign in the year 2011, return to your homes in Kansas, & close your public Web sites.

Should you ignore this warning, you will meet with the vicious retaliatory arm of ANONYMOUS: We will target your public Websites, and the propaganda & detestable doctrine that you promote will be eradicated; the damage incurred will be irreversible, and neither your institution nor your congregation will ever be able to fully recover. It is in your best interest to comply now, while the option to do so is still being offered, because we will not relent until you cease the conduction & promotion of all your bigoted operations & doctrines.

The warning has been given. What happens from here shall be determined by you.

WE ARE ANONYMOUS.

WE ARE LEGION.

WE DO NOT FORGIVE.

WE DO NOT FORGET.

EXPECT US.


 
Yeh having checked the anon site is looks like basically nothing is gunna happen.

They stand for free speech and doing this would go against that so yeh...fail...ignore this thread basically, I guess something might happen but nothing major.
 
oh good, more idiots in guy fawkes masks will be at their protests, doing nothing but thinking they are somehow standing up for humanity.
 
just like they took down scientology... lol wait.

anon should really stick to saving cats. /b/ is probably one of my most visited sited but realistically within the last 2 years there has been a HUGE drop in functionality of anonymous as a legion. no longer do i see serious attacks happening: only ddos and other things. we'll see what happens. thats imho tho
 
Yeh so this just got posted. Guess I got trolled, sowwy NSG.

Dear Phred Phelps and WBC Phriends,

So we've been hearing a lot about some letter that we supposedly sent you this morning. Problem is,

we're a bit groggy and don't remember sending it. Our best guess is that you heard about us on that

newfangled TV of yours and thought we might be some good money for your little church.

You thought you could play with Anonymous. You observed our rising notoriety and thought you

would exploit our paradigm for your own gain. And then, you thought you could lure some idiots into a

honeypot for more IPs to sue.

This is not so foreign to us; as you may have heard, we trade in Lulz. You just do not have enough to

offer right now.

While Anonymous thanks you for your interest, and would certainly like to take a break and have some

fun with you guys, we have more pressing matters to deal with at the moment.

But, we will keep this application on file, and will certainly contact you if any openings become

available in future.

Next time, don't call us. We'll call you.

Additionally, as your "Press Release" failed to understand: When Anonymous says we support free

speech, we mean it. We count Beatrice Hall among our Anonymous forebears: "I disapprove of what

you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Do some among our number hate you and your cynical exploitation of your human rights for monetary

gain? Of course. But the MoralFags are also the first to admit that they are, in fact, your rights to

exploit.

In closing, let us assure you: We are not BAWWWING sissies, nor are we afraid of your false god;

we're just really busy. Stay tuned, and we'll come back to play another day.

We promise.

To the Media: Just because it was posted on AnonNews doesn't mean every single Anon is in

agreement, in fact in this case it doesn't even mean a single Anon is in agreement. Next time, if you

could give us a few minutes to put all our paperwork in order, we'll be sure to let you know what we're

up to. (LOL)

To Anonymous: It's a trap. They've got their ports wide open to harvest IPs to sue. Don't DDoS, and

boycott Operation Westboro. If you really want to continue messing with them, just send them a few

male prostitutes and faxes of goatse. Nothing more.

(Note: This letter was written by more than 20 Anons, at the same time, and none of them were inbred

family members. Unlike that other, shitty "Press Release".)

We are Anonymous.

We are legion.

We do not forgive.

We do not forget.

Expect us.
 
Westboro is a fucking "joke," but not a joke, or at least they think they aren't jokers, or they try really really hard and are the most epic trolls ever.
