Apparently, Westboro Baptist Church is protesting the Dallas Holocaust Museum this afternoon. I can see the cops that have Record Street shut down. I am pleased to see (courtesy of wikipedia) that the Southern Poverty Law Center has classified them as a hate group, so they've got that going for them. I was displeased to see that Texas has the most hate groups of any state in the union (66).

There are a bunch of counter-protests being organized, though... They're hitting several sites in Dallas / Arlington (including a Baptist church!) today and tomorrow.

Equal opportunity haters.

But do the counter protest just magnify the impact of the original protest?

Yeah maybe. I vote to ignore them. Either that or I'm lazy.
