A Kansas-based church that has blamed deaths in Iraq on U.S. tolerance of homosexuality has asked Gov. Christine Gregoire's office to approve a "Santa Claus will take you to hell" message to display among other religious statements in the Capitol's third-floor hallway.
The first part of Westboro's proposed message, according to Spokesman-Review reporter Rich Roesler:
"You'd better watch out, get ready to cry, You'd better go hide, I'm telling you why 'cuz Santa Claus will take you to hell. He is your favorite idol, you worship at his feet, but when you stand before your God He won't help you take the heat. So get this fact straight: you're feeling God's hate, Santa's to blame for the economy's fate, Santa Claus will take you to hell."

At least this is funnier than WBC’s previous antics. Well, closer to being funny.

Gregoire may turn Phelp’s crew down, but I hope it goes up so that there will be more of a backlash against her.

What next? How about, if this one flies, we approach Christine with yet another holiday message: “Fred Phelps, Sr., will lead you to hell!” We need to get every possible view on the season out there.

Ah, for the good old days when you could bitch slap some loudmouth a$$ in the face (with a glove or otherwise) and be applauded by the police, courts and jury for being a great patriot. I guess with 3% of the worlds population and 75% of the world’s lawyers, those days are long gone in the USA.

I don't see any way how she can turn them down. The State probably won't let her since she has included so many other religious statements at the display. She's dug herself into a hole and has nobody to blame but herself.

I recall a sermon from my youth in which the pastor mentioned “Satan’s claws” in reference to Santa.

Westboro church needs to be burned to the ground with a lightning strike.
God needs to talk to those people in a language they might understand.

Santa Claus will take you to hell. Too late. Already there. Obama has been elected president.
