Foo Fighters Counter-Protest Westboro Baptist Church?
Posted on September 18, 2011 by Conservative Byte
There is perhaps no religious organization in the United States that stirs up more hate than the Westboro Baptist Church. For more than twenty years, Fred Phelps and his family have crisscrossed the country, picketing funerals, condemning homosexuality and spurring counter-protests. Not surprisingly, the tone at these demonstrations is frequently very hostile, but the atmosphere was uncharacteristically light on Friday night thanks to a healthy dose of Foo.
Late last month, the Westboro Baptist Church decided its members would picket this weekend’s Foo Fighters concert in Kansas City. Rather than an indictment of Dave Grohl and company themselves, the protest was more designed as a middle finger to the entertainment industry as a whole, which according to the church acts as a “microcosm of the people of this doomed nation.” No doubt, the Phelps family and its associates assumed the event would be rather routine, but there are very few ordinary things about the rock band who first made its mark parodying a Mentos commercial.
In preparation for the protests, the Foo Fighters rented a large flatbed truck and purchased fake moustaches. Then, without warning, they pulled up in front of the protesters, played “Keep It Clean”, delivered a speech about condoning all forms of love and drove off. It all took less than five minutes. Take a look at the video of the incident the Foos posted below…
