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."

To the best of my knowledge, they aren't part of either Baptist convention. They used to be, but are no longer. I believe, though I'm not certain, that it was a mutual parting of the ways.

With much relief on the Baptists' part, I'll bet.

There was an old line about Nixon's religious affiliation: Nixon claimed the Quakers, but the Quakers never claimed him.

This goes double (octuple? googleplextuple?) for Phelps and the Baptists, I think. Nixon, for all that he was a bad person who did bad things, was not actually evil incarnate in human form, as Phelps is.
