Let me be the first to say: WHAT THE FUCK!!!!
The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) announced that they will be picketing the funerals of the victims of yesterdays bombings in Boston.
Designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, WBC is characterized on their SPLC page as arguably the most obnoxious and rabid hate group in America.
WBC first made the announcement on their Twitter page posting:
BREAKING: Westboro Baptist Church to picket funerals of those dead by Boston Bombs! GOD SENT THE BOMBS IN FURY OVER FAG MARRIAGE! #PraiseGod
And they later posted the following press release on their website:

(2,935 posts)....I would not shed a single tear or feel one ounce of sympathy if someone bombed their "church". I know this is an awful thing to say, but for me, the WBC is in the same category as Dick Cheney. Enough said....
