This is not my perception of an ideal Monday morning....
Jay over at Stop The ACLU got an e-mail from Margie Phelps-Roper of the Westboro Baptist Church, regarding its on-the-air appearance over the weekend with Fox News’ Julie Banderas which turned into a real catfight. It’s a good thing these two weren’t in the same studio together; if they were, I’d have to wonder if they wouldn’t have gone after each other with their brandished claws fingernails.
On the e-mail, there was a very strange word I saw in its signature. So I went out on a limb and e-mailed the WBC and asked them the following:
Could you please tell me what the word ”Magormissabib” means. Thank you.
At first glance I’d have to say it’s an acronym for some phrase these things have. If I receive a reply, whether it is simply a reply telling me what the word means, and/or then launching into a tirade of how God Hates Fags and all that bulls**t, I’ll report back.
UPDATE (0628 MST): Not content to wait for their answer, I googled the word and got back some interesting information. According to Jeremiah 20:3, the prophet told Pashur, the chief priest, that his name was now “Magormissabib,” which means terror on every side. So that’s what they’re preaching. Their hatred for everything, and I mean everything, is total you-know-what.
