Westboro Baptist Church Makes Deal with Toronto Radio Host

Luna Lovegood · Jan 13, 2011

Dean Blundell gave the WBC air time to "spew your bologna" in exchange for the church agreeing not to picket funeral of 9-year-old Tucson shooting victim.

On Jan. 11, 2011, Shirley Phelps-Roper appeared on the Dean Blundell Show that is airs weekdays between 5:30am and 10am on 102.1, the Edge, in Toronto.

Phelps-Roper is a member of the Westboro Baptist Church and the daughter of Pastor Fred Phelps and the group is known for picketing the funerals of US soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. These deaths, claim the church, are Godâ€™s wrath for the tolerance of homosexuality and abortion. The church rejoices in these deaths and thinks the slain heroes deserved what they got.

On Jan. 10, 2011, after the shooting in Tucson Arizona, the church issued a press release saying that they intended to picket the funeral of Christina-Taylor Green, 9. She had just been elected to her schoolâ€™s student council and was excited that she was going to meet a real politician, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, that morning. Christina-Taylorâ€™s funeral is scheduled for Jan. 13, 2011 in Tuscon.

When Phelps-Roper first came on the line, Blundell reminded her of a deal the two made a few years ago. Blundell agreed to let her speak uninterrupted or, in his words, to â€œspew her garbageâ€ or â€œspew her bologna.â€ In exchange she promised the church would cancel the planned picketing of a funeral. The agreement was lived up to.

Phelps-Roper told Blundell if he allowed her to â€œconnect the dotsâ€ regarding the Arizona shooting, the church would not picket the â€œCatholic whorehouseâ€ on Thursday during the funeral of Christina-Taylor Green. At the time, Phelps-Roper made it clear that the church still planned to picket the funerals of the others who were gunned down at the Giffords event.

Ok, so this is the radio station that I mostly listen to, so I had the pleasure of listening to this yesterday morning. Shirley had been on the show a couple of years back, and the hosts were arguing with her back then. But I would have never imagined that she would be so true to her word, as she agreed to not picket the 9 year-old's funeral. Although after he gave her her 2-3 minutes of uninterrupted crap, they went right back to arguing and it was hilarious.

Anyway, if you're interested about how it all went down, you can listen to the full interview here: http://www.edge.ca/DJsandShows/TheDeanBlundellShow/Audio.aspx It's the podcast obviously entitled "Shirley Phelps - Jan 11".
