The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) has found a new group of people to rally against. The Kansas church, most infamous for its hatred of homosexuals, posted a document last Monday on its website celebrating the deaths of the Joplin, Missouri tornado victims.
“Thank God for 89 dead & counting in Joplin, Mo & 1 dead in Reading, KS!” the document declared in capital letters. “God’s whirlwind is pounding the enemies of Christ! WBC will picket your raging blasphemous stinky memorials!”

Hope this makes everyone feel just a tad better: Their archenemy Craig Trebilcock, counsel for Snyder in Synder vs. Phelps just won the primary election for Common Pleas Judge in my County.
Judicial candidates can cross file and he was way out in front winner on both R & D—done deal come November.
Relax, everybody that matters knows these scum aren’t even in the same galaxy as real Baptists. Anyone who holds this clot of semi-human flotsam as related to Baptists is being an idiot.

As far as the gospels inform us, Jesus didn’t have a problem when the saved thief on the cross told the other, blaspheming one to shut his yap.
'Church of Satan' was already taken...
read this on wikipedia but did hear something about Soros..donating though I am not sure..Funding
This section requires expansion.
WBC’s travel expenses alone exceed $200,000 annually.[154] According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Westboro is funded entirely by its congregation.[155] The church also makes money through lawsuits and legal fees.[155][156] For example, they sued the city of Topeka several times in the 1990s.[155] WBC received $16,500, and is pursuing another $100,000, in legal fees for a case won in court.[156] The WBC is also considered a nonprofit organization by the federal government, and is therefore exempt from paying taxes.[157]
They will be there Sunday during Obama’s visit
Did he run as an indie rather than either major party?
They are not recognized by any baptist denomination. They are primative. They even protested Jerry Falwell’s funeral and the SBC does not recognize them.
Thanks, but unfortunately every time the Westboro name comes up, Baptist take another hit.

Thanks, I went to Wikipedia and searched that out. That makes a visible funding source, but I wonder about more sinsister silent partners here. These people seem to be everywhere, all at once.
While Obama is there, huh. You think even he might be moved to tell them to go to hell? Joplin, after all, is named for the famous turn of the century black ragtime composer.
LOL!
Why would he want to do that? Obama is Irish now, didn’t you know?
Yeah. I'm an agnostic, even I recognize that tree by its fruits...
Like I said, everybody that matters. Sometimes you just can’t reach the ignorant. These stiffs are Baptists as much as the moon is made of cheese.

Cross filed as both R & D-about the only way to get elected in PA
you are right on the funding. Would love to find out who is giving them their money
I don’t even use the words “Baptist” or “Church” when I talk about Westboro. I call them a cult.
They are the epitome of using God’s name in vain. May he have mercy on their souls.
