Westboro Baptist Church to picket funerals of JCC shooting victims
Source: JPost
The church, which is considered a homophobic, anti-Semitic hate group by the Anti-Defamation League, is infamous for picketing the funerals of American servicemen killed in Afghanistan and Iraq and for its vocal anti-homosexual position.
WBC will picket the funeral of William Corporon and Reat Underwood in religious protest and warning, the church announced on its web-page godhatesfags.com. Terming the shooting at the Jewish institution a divine reminder that America has sinned away her day of grace, the church said that such funerals have become pagan orgies where they worship these corpses instead of the Lord their God.
The lord God killed these people with his own hand. He appoints the time when each of us is born and when each of us dies. You must ask why now? for these victims. WBC will gladly answer: For the sins of this vile nation. The church also tweeted a flyer explaining its rationale for the picket to a number of Jewish personalities, including Jewish Agency spokesman Avi Mayer.
Calling those mourning Corporon and Underwood faux-Christians who are part of a filthy community, the WBC flyer blamed the shooting on gay marriage and filthy fags before calling on Twitter users to repent or perish and give God the glory.

As far as I can tell, just about nobody out there -- left, right, or center -- has any use for WBC
They have precisely one idea: Lookie! Here's another high profile funeral! We can go hold up signs promoting homophobia! It doesn't even make any fuckin sense
The only reason they get coverage is because the media is too lazy to report real stories
