Anonymous hacks Westboro Baptist Church’s website during live interview
A source from the internet group Anonymous was interviewed on a radio show, along with Shirley Phelps-Roper of the homophobic Westboro Baptist Church. During the interview, Anonymous hacked the church’s website.
Earlier this week, a press release aimed at the Westboro Baptist Church was posted around the internet that claimed to be from Anonymous. The Westboro Baptist Church responded to this by publishing their own release stating, “bring it, cowards.”
Anonymous then posted a follow-up press release denying that they did not publish the original press release.
These shenanigans were discussed during the interview on the David Pakman Show. Towards the end of the discussion, the Anonymous source said:
“I was just going to say in the time that Shirley was blabbing her religious preachings I actually did some business and I think if you check downloads.westborobaptistchurch.com right now you’ll see a nice message from Anonymous.”
The WBC’s website was hacked to display a Anonymous press release (see screenshot).
Throughout the interview, the Anonymous source references internet memes, such as claiming he has “over 9,000 sins.”
The family who runs the Westboro Baptist Church has been referred to as “America’s Most Hated Family.” Most of their protesting efforts are targeted at gays and soldiers, even though many of those protests get drowned out by counter-protesters.

Pope visits Spain, greeted by gay kissing flash mob
The Pope visited Barcelona, Spain on Sunday, and was greeted by gay kissing flash mob. Participants were protesting the Pope’s condemnation of gay marriage laws in Spain.
The flash mob, which was organized on Facebook, attracted around 200 participants, according to the New York Times.
“Many gay Spaniards don’t see why they should pay for the Pope’s visits, only to have their way of life criticized”
During the Pope’s homily on Sunday, he defended traditional families and denounced Spanish laws allowing gay marriage.
The protest gained more media attention last week, when Facebook shut down the event’s page, but was later reinstated. A Facebook official stated that the event was created by a fake account, which violates Facebook’s policies.
Gay marriage has been legal in Spain since 2005. A 2007 Pew Research study showed that 82% of Spain supported homosexuality and 9% did not (9% were unsure).
