Foo Fighters decided to run a counter-protest against the homophobic Westboro Baptist Church. The church had planned to protest the Foo's shows, but the band decided to show up at the protest to perform in the back of one of their touring vehicles. The report from ABC News notes:

The band wore the costumes they used in their recent parody video "Hot Buns" , and mocked the protesters who are known for their anti-homosexual views.
Lyrics in the Foo Fighters song taunted the church's views, saying "Driving all night, got a hankering for something/Think I'm in the mood for some hot-man muffins/Mmmm, sounds so fine, yes indeed."

Foo Fighters lead singer Dave Grohl ended the performance by saying: "Ladies and gentlemen,God bless America! Land of the free, home of the brave"
