The Westboro Baptist Church may have met its match in Lisa Lampanelli, longtime supporter of gay rights and Comedy's "lovable Queen of Mean."

Lampanelli recently told TMZ she would donate $1,000 to the Gay Men's Health Crisis organization for every Westboro Baptist Church member that showed up to protest her show in Topeka, Kansas. Well, now the nation's oldest HIV/AIDS prevention and service organization will be getting a hefty $50,000 check from Lampanelli -- in the church's name.

Nearly 50 people showed up to protest the show, some of whom you can see in the video below as Lampanelli greets them with a few zingers. After the show, Lampanelli tweeted that the GMHC would be getting $44,000, but after another count showed 48 protesters instead of 44, she updated again via Twitter: "I won't quibble. I'll make it an even $50,000!!!"

She's an absolute terrible comic, but good for her for standing up to these idiots. You see those kids? Completely brainwashed. It's sad. What kind of life do you live growing up with so much hate.

[Mici]

I fucking hate her as a comic, but fuck WBC too. I hope they have a violent shoot out and kill each other.
Get Carlos mencia, Dane cook, and Dave chappelle in there too and I will start to believe in a god.

Not sure you're much better than WBC if you want a comedian to die because you don't like her.

But yeah, I agree. She's not very funny, but more power to her for this. The saddest part is seeing all those kids standing there protesting. I can't imagine what being raised by such hate mongers must be like.

Apparently they're on their way to Joplin to tell tornado victims that God did this to them for being sinners.

It's shit like this that causes me to really think freedoms need to be limited by responsibility to your fellow citizens.

Where does the freedom stop and the responsibility begin? I'd love to see less hate mongers in the US, but can we really stop them because we don't like what they are doing/saying? The precedent has been set. Freedom is much more important to Americans than individual responsibility. How do we turn that around and force accountability on people that will cry foul if you so much as mention amending our freedoms. [Sarcasm]Maybe we need another terrorist attack so our government can enact the "Responsible Citizen Act". [/Sarcasm]

I hope you're not serious..

Uh, yes. They are spreading hatred and intolerance. I'd say that's a pretty fucking distinct line.

Freedom should stop when your freedoms are blatantly ignoring, attacking, and impeding the freedoms of those around you.

I hope you're not serious..

Yep.

With violence, anything is possible!

Americans don't care about freedom. If anyone asks for it, they will gladly give it up, while ridiculing anyone who thinks freedom is important.

[kuronosan]

Americans in general (the stupid ones) don't care about freedom at all. They care about the idea of freedom as a convenience (sound like Christianity much?) to their individual self. If someone does something to inconvenience them, they cry constitutional rights. If they do something to inconvenience someone else, they cry constitutional rights.

What it all boils down to is that many Americans just want to be able to do whatever they want to without consequence. That sounds like a child to me. Adults have freedoms too, you know. They earned it by being responsible.

This is the only real goal Americans have. Coupled in there is the ability to have everything, but not pay a cent for it.

[notorious bum]

LL is too gully for most people, fuck a Dane Cook or Mencia. Fast food comedians gets no respect from me.

It's a word people throw around to justify or ridicule irresponsible behavior as they see it.

I was not advocating the people doing the hate mongering. I was pointing out that creating personal responsibility laws is a really sticky situation because everyone has their own moral compass and most of them don't point north.

Props to her for sticking it to WBC, but she really can't be considered a comic, because she's about as funny as contracting ebola.
