What an incredibly clever, non-violent way to shut down Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church of hate.

I probably disagree with these folks on all kinds of points, but they are officially my heroes now anyway.

Protesters with a sense of humor…now there’s a twist.

I can't stop smiling. Very funny.
edit:
I guess the cop needed it more than she did.

If a protester rick-rolls you...then you need to give up and go home.

But the protester is never gonna give you up!

There have been several effective counter-protests to Fred Phelps's group. The Patriot Guard Riders, for example, will show up at military funerals (if asked) and simply block the view of Fred Phelps' goons with American flags, and also sometimes drown out their chants with bagpipes.
This is a particularly clever variant. Just drown out Phelps' signs with absurd signs of your own... overcome hate with humor! I like it.

We have a chapter of the "Patriot Guard" in my town, I always salute.
