Members of Westboro Baptist Church are stirring outrage again, after saying they would picket in Newtown to celebrate the school massacre. The extremist, Kansas-based hate group, which calls itself a church, but is mostly made up of a single extended family, is best known for picketing at soldiers' funerals, saying that the military members' deaths are God's punishment for America's acceptance of homosexuality. Their right to hold such funeral protests was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. Shirley Phelps-Roper, a member of the church, tweeted less than a day after Friday's massacre: "Westboro will picket Sandy Hook Elementary School to sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgment."
What the HELLO is wrong with these fanatics? What do they want except publicity? What really bothers me is that they call themselves a church!
