The "hacktivist" group Anonymous has targeted the Westboro Baptist Church--hacking its Twitter account and releasing the personal information of members to to the public. Article here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57...westboro-baptist-church-after-newtown-threat/
They also published a video denouncing Westboro for hypocrisy and hatefulness, promising to take them down: http://vimeo.com/55671721
In an interview, the spokeswoman for WBC reiterated the church's message that they are simply proclaiming the judgment of God for the nation's sins (namely gay marriage and abortion). She also said they would continue picketing wherever they felt they needed to get that message out, including the funerals in CT.
James Dobson of Focus on the Family also received backlash for making the following statement:
We know that sin is real. We know that God's judgment on sin is real. And yet we also know that the Day of Judgment has not yet come. We know that there is a place for mercy and compassion and also a place for prophecy to the nations. Where do we as Christians find the balance between cruelly dishonoring victims and service members, and denying the reality of sin's consequences? Where are the real prophets?

James Dobson of Focus on the Family also received backlash for making the following statement:
“And a lot of these things are happening around us, and somebody is going to get mad at me for saying what I am about to say right now, but I am going to give you my honest opinion: I think we have turned our back on the Scripture and on God Almighty and I think he has allowed judgment to fall upon us. I think that’s what’s going on.”
