Westboro Baptist Church Organizes Homophobic Anti-Obama Protest Outside Sasha And Malia’s School

http://thinkprogress.org/2009/11/09/westboro-sidwell/

Westboro Baptist Church is a hate group that goes around the country staging anti-gay rallies at some of the most inappropriate places (e.g. the funerals of former White House press secretary Tony Snow, victims of the Minneapolis bridge collapse, and U.S. troops) with messages like “Thank God For AIDS” and “God Hates Fags.”

This week, they’re bringing their hateful message to children in Washington, DC, planning pickets at a handful of local schools. This morning, they showed up outside of Sidwell Friends, the school that Sasha and Malia Obama attend. On Twitter, Megan Phelps-Roper — one of Fred Phelps’ grandchildren — posted a picture of the protest:

The members of the Wstboro Baptist Church and the whole Phelp's gang are a bunch of immature lunatics just trying to get attention. Anyone sane person who has read any of their rantings would recognize this. They have a list of reasons why god is punishing America. They conveniently leave out any parts of the Bible that refer to judgement as being "divine". They preach on about their rights being resticted. What about everyone else's right to not be harassed? No wonder there are tornadoes in KS. Too bad thye keep missing the mark.
