The word's not in their dictionary!

How do you confuse the Westboro Baptist Church? Show compassion!
Even if these people were being sarcastic, at least the sarcasm should have shown through clearly! But I believe that the people holding the sign were actually trying to convey to those sorry bastards that true Christian tenets of compassion and charity still exist despite their own lack of drinking at the fount of human kindness..

Westboro Baptist Church left confused by 'Sorry for your loss' counter-protest

Leave it to the power of almighty Lorde to try to bring the world together. When Westboro Baptist Church members angrily picketed the singer's concert Friday in Missouri in response to her recent pro-gay comments, counter-protesters had a compassionate response: signs of condolence for the group's recently deceased pastor Fred Phelps. "Sorry for your loss," read one large poster. "Live your life and be awesome," said another.
"We realized that it wasn't so much about antagonizing them but sending out the countered safe that we are here for people who need that message and need that positivity," sign creator Megan Coleman told KSHB-TV. Her well intended message was lost in translation to some Westboro members, however. "I don't even know what they're saying," said Westboro member Steve Dralin, who is poised to be the church's next leader.
