WBC Responds To Carlin's Death, And Are Sort Of Jerks About It
Is it just me, or is the Westboro Baptist Church losing its touch? They're still batcrap crazy, don't get me wrong. But lately I feel like they're just getting lazy.
Take the headline of this "news release" that they recently sent out, gleefully announcing the death of George Carlin.
GOD KILLED POTTY-MOUTH COMEDIAN GEORGE CARLIN, AND CAST HIM FORTHWITH INTO HELL.
Potty-mouth? Brokeback Mountain gets called a "sordid, tacky bucket of slime seasoned with vomit," and George Carlin is a potty-mouth?
I'm not really even sure if that's understatement, irony, or both.

eh, sounds to me like they just want to get picked up by other news outlets. Which they seem to have done…
Phelps vitriolic hatred nullifies anything else he says before or after that, as far as I'm concerned. To "preach" claiming to be a Christian; and then promote HATE - whatever you say after that it totally invalidated.
He claims to be a "Christian Pastor" however he has NOTHING to do with Christ. Whether you believe in Jesus or not, nowhere in Bible text is Christ advocating HATRED toward others. This hate-monger and his wacko followers' showing up at funeral demonstrations might get press, but it is merely callous theater.
Back in '96 in Nashville, on the day of the funeral for Al Gore Sr., (vice pres Al Gore jr.s father) Phelps showed up with a few followers with large signs that said "GOD HATES FAGS Romans 9:13" because, according to Phelps, his son "sold his soul to the fag agenda." His followers join up they enjoy telling people to "go to hell." Period.
