We Tweeted, And So Did The Westboro Baptists

However you may feel about the Westboro Baptist Church, folks ain't technologically challenged. While you were busy live-tweeting and snapping photos outside Hillel, guess what the protesters were doing? THE SAME DAMN THING.

Thanks to an @ mention we received from WBC protester @meganphelps (how they found us, we do not know), we present: protest tweeting, live from the other side.

Megan Phelps tweeted throughout the event:

"Pics from the other side of the UPenn Hillel picket! Thx @HebrUPenn @underthebutton ! http://twitpic.com/sjs11 http://twitpic.com/sjs13"
And our personal favorite:
"Madre just spoke w. a woman from UPenn paper; we'll see how well Ivy League schools teach journalists to be unbiased. Not holding my breath!"
Oh, we are glad to be held to such a high standard.
