Westboro B*ptist Church takes its act to the British

Westboro B*ptist Church's plan to picket (a favorite target) a production of The Laramie Project at Basingstoke, Hampshire, seems to bemuse the British.

Tongue in cheek, upper lip stiff, The Telegraph published "the full text" of their correspondence with hyperhomophobic Westboro over their "threatened" demonstration. It's all deadpan questions, and the [ahem] answers.

Andrew Mueller of the Guardian reviews with scathing humor Westboro's logic and behavior, concluding:

Fortunately, this is one of those rare, glorious situations in which the right and smart tactic is also the easy, lazy one: let them come, and let them speak. Our common sense, our liberal tradition, our language – and our rich lexicon of dismissive hand gestures – equip us amply to respond.
