Westboro Church's godhatesfags.com website hacked :)

Well I'm not exactly here to debate homosexuality and religion, I just thought this was humorous that someone hacked the Westboro Church website by anonymous. So I'm here to share this article:

For those of you who haven't heard, Westboro Church is known for their extreme views against homosexuality, even protesting outside the funerals of gay military people, basically a huge slap in the face to friends and families. Here's one article for example: 1st Amendment protects military funeral protesters - Yahoo! News

Then recently someone hacked their website. Here's that article.
Anonymous seizes Westboro Baptist's domain during live TV confrontation - Yahoo! News

This is what the website said after it was hacked (the actual site is down now):
Greetings from Anonymous.

Discuss.

I watched a documentary about these guys recently. They truly are insane.

I love anonymous.

Supreme Court says Westboro Baptist Church can protest at military funerals - Obama's Supreme Court Nominees | Supreme Court Justices - Salon.com

And the Supreme Court will do nothing about it

yay first amendment

:(

Disturbing the peace surely can't be legal in any state?

The first amendment protects any rights... even if what's going on would fall under disturbing the peace

Unfortunately, people use the amendments for the wrong reasons

I was watching the news earlier and the reporters said that if the City wants to get involved and stop the protesters then that is their right as well. I never heard of that, but if its true then I hope they do something about these people.

No it doesn't. These lunatics have been arrested many times for it. "Freedom of speech" is not absolute, and the Bill of Rights never says that it is.

For a bunch of teenage hackers, they did pretty good breaking into that site, I'm impressed that they got firewall admin access. Are they real hackers now? A year ago they were just a bunch of kids with no real hacking ability. :?

They broke into HBgary and Stole 60 000 emails. And keep in mind HBgary is a security company that was suppose to take anonymous down. So yeah, they are real hackers.

Boriinnnggg.

If everyone is so up in arms about it, how about going and picketing their houses, or better yet burn the houses down and shoot the bastards.

Can't believe this shit is tolerated. Just hurt them or kill them.

I can't believe anyone still pays attention to these people. They might be a small nuisance, but they're completely harmless. Ignore them and they'll go away.

You're right. People keep giving them attention and they keep getting on the news. But I still can't help myself and talk about it anyway. I came across this Anonymous article and felt like I had to share it because these bullies got bitchslapped.

good for them! go anonymous if it's going to actually use it's powers for good, though the crazy people will probably be all like "ZOMG DEMONS INFLUENCED TEENAGERS TO HACK OUR WEBSITE TEH DEVIL IS TRYING TO BREAK US DOWN NOW IS TEH TIME TO GO AT IT HARDER THEN EVER KOKOMASHANDALINASHATITAEHASIOSKDIAOSIUD:panic: "... which is bad. I'm just waiting for the day they go that one step too far and the law comes down hard on them for their completely unbased hatred -.-

Anonymous isn't a group of hackers by any means. It's not even a group. Anonymous talks about itself using "we" as if it is a group so I see the source of confusion. But there is no hierarchy, no administrators, no leaders. Anonymous shares no common goals or beliefs. There are only people and hackers who claim to be part of Anonymous, and who do things like this in the name of Anonymous. Individuals will always claim to be a leader of Anonymous but there are no true leaders, only doers and followers.

There is an Anonymous IRC but it is by no means official, and by and large filled with people who think it's some sort of group. Occasionally people who get it use the IRC to coordinate hacks in the name of Anonymous.

I love the smug pretentious nature of this post.

I don't think they would, it may actually make them worse.

If they picketed one or more of your loved ones' funerals, are you sure you'd ignore them? Yelling and stamping with their picket signs, protected by the police.

They will not go away. Their beliefs are fuelled by taking action.

If we let this go on for too long, we may see the new Hitler pretty soon. You can't deny they won't try to go farther. Pic related.
