Westboro Baptist Church Plans To Picket Taylor Swift Concert, Calls Her A 'Whore'

[The Straight Story]

Add Taylor Swift to the Westboro Baptist Church's ever-growing list of people they've taken issue with.

The Topeka, Kansas-based hate group has announced plans to picket Swift's Aug. 3 concert at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

Swift is known for what sometimes seems like a revolving door of highly publicized romances, and the WBC apparently doesn't look too kindly on all her "fornicating."

"@TaylorSwift13 works her 'girl next door' country-singer shtick, while hopping from one young man to the next and strutting across the world stage like a proud whore," the group wrote in a press release, and went on to criticize the singer's own father, claiming:

"He has no compunction about her immodest vulgar appearance or serial fornication. With a hating hypocrite for a dad – who will jealously guard her income, while not giving a thought for her never-dying soul – no wonder she grew up to be the poster child for the young whores of doomed-america (sic)."

1. They're just jealous.

[Xyzse]

2. Some people just have no lives.

[EOTE]

3. When do I get to be picketed by Westboro Baptist?

I really feel like I'm missing out.

[The Stranger]

4. This made me laugh and I can't stop.

I'm not even sure why.

5. They're just jealous

Fred IS gay and he's angry and jealous that he couldn't live the life he truly wanted. So he had 13 kids to try and prove to himself he wasn't gay. It didn't work. This crazy group should be called terrorist by our government. They shouldn't be able to fly on planes or use our streets.

6. Yes, because we all know how well monogamy within the Christian religion is adhered to...

[Iggo]

7. They wish!

8. They'd consider me quite the whore, too. I'm over 55 and have never married, but

I have had plenty of sex out of wedlock.

Not that it's any of their effing business, but they seem to want to make women's private lives their business now,

9. Picketing a celeb at a venue where thousands of fans of that person are showing up is not wise.

Particularly when the rhetoric they intend to use is so ugly.

I hope the Kansas City, MO police are too busy with other things to safeguard the WBC folks.

10. My tweet in response, to the Kansas City Police

@WBCSays @taylorswift13 @TaylorSwift_IFC @taylorswiftnews @KCPolice do the world a favor and dont protect WBC folks from Taylor Swift's fans

11. Really, Shirl?...

"In 1979, Shirley Phelps gave birth to a child out of wedlock. Estranged family members tell the Pitch that she became romantically involved with a man who was staying at a halfway house where she was doing her college internship. At the time, she was majoring in criminal justice at Washburn University in Topeka...The child's biological father wasn't accepted into Westboro Baptist Church...Phelps-Roper doesn't deny that her son Sam was born out of wedlock. She refuses to reveal the name of the biological father."

Nothing wrong with being an unwed mother in my opinion, of course- I just hate hypocrites...
