I noticed Topeka is just down the road from Manhattan. Have any of you guys ever encountered the crazies of the Westboro Baptist Church? I'm honestly wondering how they are still alive after seeing some of the stuff they pull. I know they like to go to college campuses, so I'm wondering if they ever "preach" at big events like football games. If so, please tell me where I can find them before the game so I can give them a piece of my mind.

Or a high five? Bigtime Auburn fans. Kinda figures, I guess.

If you're lucky, they might actually be picketing the game!

I'm not gonna visit their website, but I'm 99% sure they list their upcoming protests and locations there if you are really interested.

I have seen them numerous times. I'm not sure if they plan on protesting at the game on Thursday. If travel through Topeka, you might be able to see them practicing near Washburn University.

they're huge ku fans.

When we were making a national title run in 2012 they showed up to our game in Waco vs Baylor and made us lose the game.

I really haven't heard much about them since Fred died.

The last protest of theirs that I've seen was at an intersection in West Lawrence. No idea why they chose that spot. There was nothing in particular going on there that day.

it's kind of heartwarming to see even this old hateful curmudgeonly bigot embrace TSC

They will almost assuredly be someplace with police protection due to the chance for national exposure. They go to state university graduations even.

I interviewed dear, departed Fred twice. Once when he was picketing the every bit as crazy Pat Robertson at K-State and once when running for governor. He was on his best behavior both times, but his charm was as off-putting as a pit viper. The cults' outright ownership of bigotry is somewhat refreshing compared to, say, the tea party.

Lawrence is a bedroom community of Topeka. They are basically the same town.

Hey look, a liberal journalist! You don't see that every day.

I've read your stuff for some time and this is the first I can remember that something you actually posted made me laugh. And that's not a slam by any-means cuz I like your stuff it's just that.....well..... you're usually not all that funny.
