Westboro Baptist Church To Spread Their Hate At The Funerals Of Charleston Shooting Victims

[TexasTowelie]

Warning: Offensive content, hatred

The empty souls of the Westboro Baptist Church are going to picket the funerals of the nine people murdered in a terrorist act by someone whose beliefs have some crossover with the empty shells of hate at Westboro.

They are picketing because they say God sent the shooter to kill Pastor and state Senator because he supported Secretary Hillary Clinton. They say the shootings are a lesson to stay away from Hillary Clinton fundraisers.

They tweeted:

Lessons from #CharlestonShooting:
•Stay away from @HillaryClinton fundraisers
•Stop conducting lying Bible studies

“We aim to picket Charleston funerals to warn the living. Dylann Roof did an evil thing but so did Clementa Pinckney!”

1. They don't show up so much anymore

But if they do, treat them with kindness. It totally discombobulates them. Offer them a cold beverage (bigotry is thirsty work). Ask them if you can wash their feet, like Jesus did for his disciples. Smile at them. A lot. Give them a cheery wave as they skedaddle on their way.

4. And lots of hugs.....

by a large number of very big people.

3. It is times like this when I wonder why anyone would actually

believe there is a loving God out there.

6. These people are pathetic.

Their scare tactics are way past the expiration date. How they're not considered a hate group is beyond me.

7. They are considered a hate group. From Souther Poverty Law Center:

Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) is arguably the most obnoxious and rabid hate group in America. The group is basically a family-based cult of personality built around its patriarch, Fred Phelps. Typified by its slogan, “God Hates Fags,” WBC is known for its harsh anti-gay beliefs and the crude signs its members carry at their frequent protests.

funerals to protest!

9. When are we going to stop calling these 3 assholes with signs a "church"

3 assholes with signs show up to be dicks at a funeral and it makes the news?

Ignore them and they'll go away.
