Oh, for . . .the stupid trolls are back

The Westboro Baptist church (of www.godhatesfags.com fame) announced plans to picket the funerals of the Virginia Tech victims because:

"God is punishing America for her sodomite sins. The 33 massacred at Virginia Tech died for America's sins against WBC (Westboro Baptist Church). Just as U.S. soldiers dying in Iraq each day for America's sins against WBC."

Of course, he's threatened to picket our church many times in the past and never showed up, so this could just be another one of his empty threats. Let's hope so, to spare the families and friends of the victims of this tragedy.

I wouldn't count on it. He knows that picketing these funerals will give him the ultimate in attention. If I would hazard a guess, I think he would take pains to picket Professor Liviu Librescu's funeral in particular, because 1) the Professor was Jewish and 2) many people regard him as a particularly innocent hero because he gave his life to defend others, and so picketing that particular funeral would give him maximum outrage mileage.

Ugh, I hate them so much.

I believe Librescu's funeral was already held in Israel...?

Oh, that's right, it was. A blessing (albeit an extremely small one) that his relatives didn't have to face THAT on top of everything else.
