Evil 'Church' to Protest Elizabeth Taylor's Funeral
TMZ.com ^ | 3/23/2011 | TMZ Staff

Posted on 03/23/2011 4:23:52 PM PDT by ColdOne

Those horrible, intolerant, heartless gay-haters at the Westboro Baptist Church are preparing to spread their evil message at Elizabeth Taylor's funeral ... a higher power tells TMZ.

Margie Phelps -- daughter of WBC Pastor Fred Phelps -- took to Twitter today to announce the church is going to picket non-lesbian Liz's funeral ... all because Liz was apparently some sort of gay "enabler" and (God forbid) an AIDS activist.

They're not 'Baptists'. They're not a Church. They are lawyers deliberately looking for a payday by getting someone - anyone - to attack them.

Shrieking abuse at funerals comes under “fighting words”. That’s how it can be fought.

That's what Justice Alito thought, but the other eight Justices disagreed with him.

How come it takes this group of freaks threatening to protest Elizabeth Taylor before the left will call them evil?

The left didn’t think they were evil when they were protesting at soldiers funerals.

IHTM.(I hate the media)

I bet the “church” was started just for cover for their evil protests. I really can’t figure out their point.

You just won the bet.

Westboro is not a church at all. It's a collection of leftist lawyers headed by Fred Phelps, a civil rights activist (recipient of multiple awards from the racist NAACP and other black outfits). Phelps and his family campaigned for Al Gore.

In short, they're just a bunch of anti-American demonRATS cloaking themselves in the misleading name of a "Baptist Church".

I think they’re being bankrolled by some leftist group. They were FOG (Friends of Gore) & held fundraisers for him when he ran for the Democratic Presidential Candidacy; the Phelps had their picture taken with him. - I also think part of why they’re being bankrolled is to make Christians look bad. It’s fishy; I mean Gore was a gay enabler from way back.

When the MSM covers this, let's look for any mention that Fred Phelps is a Democrat, a disbarred attorney "who has five times been a candidate for political office in Kansas Democratic Party primaries."

As for Phelps's status as a Baptist, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is listed in Wikipedia as the largest association of Baptists in America, and they say this about Democrat Phelps and his crew:

20. Is Fred Phelps (the pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church and leader of those who protest under the slogan "God Hates Fags") or his church affiliated with the SBC?

We share concern over the unbiblical views and offensive tactics of Fred Phelps and his followers at Westboro (Independent) Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. Westboro does not have now, nor has ever had, any relationship with the Southern Baptist Convention. His extreme positions not only stand in contrast to the SBC, more importantly, they stand in contrast to God's Word. Scripture clearly teaches that homosexual behavior is sinful in the eyes of a just and holy God; but the Bible also clearly proclaims God’s love for all sinners, including homosexuals, and that He offers forgiveness to all who repent and place their faith in the atoning death of Jesus Christ for our sins.

But of course, none of that serves the MSM's agenda nearly as well as stories about "Fred Phelps, typical hate-filled conservative religious nut."

Time to organize a group and beat the crap out of them. To hell with the law and the courts. This is not freedom of speech.

Wouldn’t the Westboro crew love it if someone sent flowers in their name. Nothing cheap either, something with a real price tag? They’d spit, spit spudder, choke.

So why weren’t they at Michael Jackson’s funeral? It seems like they would have gotten a ton of publicity there.

I think you are correct about them not being real Christians and using it to make Christians look bad. I felt that way about them first time I heard THAT woman talking. I thought this woman is about as Christian as satan. I didn’t know they had worked for Gore before. That should be blasted all over the place.

Read Twinkies post. I think Twinkies on to something. It would appear they are purposely trying to make Christian’s look bad. And/or using it as a religious cover.
