When I was a student Brother Chuck and his flock would come to the Oval to preach hellfire and damnation, call all the girls whores and fornicators,etc,etc. One day a group of students formed a closed ring around Brother Chuck and a student pulled out a porno mag and began to pleasure himself in front of Bro. Chuck. I think he backed off after that enounter with the student body.

I can think of several angles on the motives behind the administration, Westboro, the Union, the students, for organizing this event, but none of them are really convincing. The closest thing I could come up with was that OSU wanted to schedule this to give their students something to be activists about without much effort, but even that sounds pretty fickle.

Not sure why October 4th was selected, other than its a couple of weeks after students get back, and he'll get the biggest draw he can. in my opinion, he better hope we beat Illinois on Saturday. If we lose that game and he come crawling on to this campus trying to cause trouble, he'll leave on a gurney.

I don't think this was scheduled by the school. They're just going to show up like the always do.

The Ohio Union at Ohio State University 1739 N. High St. All roads lead to the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS)! Next stop on the I-70 GodSmack Tour from WBC to DC: The Ohio Union at Ohio State University. These college students spend more time pursuing their drunken sins than their academic studies. Their professors happily teach them the ubiquitous lie that "it's OK to be gay" and its just fine to flip off God and mock His servants. The full time occupation of both the professors and students is to make provision for the flesh, all day, everyday. WBC is coming to Ohio State to tell you what the Lord your God has to say about that, to wit: Romans 13:14 "But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh to fulfil the lusts thereof" Isaiah 49:26 "And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am they Savior and Redeemer; the mighty one of Jacob."

Pretty sure the university would not schedule this as an event. Too many negative things could happen.. and probably will.

Protests are fun for us activists, but everybody loves a party! On October 4, Westboro Baptist Church is sending a hate contingent to Columbus, Ohio, hoping to pollute the OSU campus with all sorts of vile filth. And we've decided to throw a party to celebrate!

"Now hold up...why would you want to celebrate a visit from the most notorious haters in America today?"

I will tell you. Whenever the WBC shows up, they only accomplish... one thing: bringing the community together against them. That's called love, and we want to celebrate it with a few hundred of our closest friends. It's a LoveBomb, baby!

We're flipping the game on its head, and turning their protest into an expression of love and unity. There will be all sorts of fun stuff going on, music, dancing, a funny sign contest, and maybe some scantily-clad eye candy wandering around if we're lucky. :wink: Also, you won't want to miss a chance to party with the Columbus Ghostbusters! And even better, it's all for a great cause. We'll be collecting donations to benefit the Columbus AIDS Task Force.

Also, we're looking for some volunteers to help out with the event. If you're interested in being a crowd marshal, overseeing a donation station, or even putting together a carpool for people making a road trip out of it, contact one of the organizers and let us know. We don't bite, I promise, unless you ask nicely. :biggrin:

So come ready to drop your own LoveBombs, have a good time, and raise awareness for a deserving organization! They think their hate is strong? They haven't seen our love, have they?

For more information on the Columbus Ghostbusters, please visit their Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/?sk=messages&tid=1603565011584#!/columbusgb?ref=ts.

Tell your friends, tell your family, tell that creepy guy down the street with the concrete geese in his yard! We can't wait to meet you!

Well, considering that their main (and pretty much only) source of funding comes from the collections on the lawsuits they file because of assault (which they deserve anyway) - if enough people just turned a blind eye, eventually scum like this will be unable to continue there little fracas around decent American's.

That said, the 4th is on a Monday, I just might make the trip down... :biggrin:

If I wasn't likely to be out of town that week (I'll find out tomorrow probably), I would seriously think about going with a bag of popcorn and a lawn chair just to watch the fracas.
