Elizabeth Edwards funeral to be picketed by Westboro Baptist Church
The same Westboro Baptists Church has picketed other high profile funerals such as Michael Jackson and Ronnie James Dio, but perhaps the most disgusting funerals these hate mongers protest are those of soldiers who have been killed in the line of duty.
The Westboro Baptist Church became infamous after protesting the funeral of Matthew Shepard, the 21-year-old who was tortured and beaten to death for being gay. Still, to this day, the Westboro Church protests any productions involving Matthew Shephard’s story.
The group’s official site has probably the most terrible dot com I have ever laid eyes on. God hates fags dot com.
Most recently the Westboro Baptists Church picketed a soldier’s funeral in Oklahoma when their van’s tires were slashed. In an awesome revolt, not one towing company in the area would assist them in any way.
So back to Elizabeth Edwards.
Members of the Westboro Baptist Church announced Thursday that they will indeed be protesting Elizabeth Edwards’ funeral, which is set to take place on Saturday in Raleigh, North Carolina. The radical hate group (well, it’s what they are), plans to protest from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM, when the service begins.
Why are they protesting Elizabeth Edwards? The Westboro Baptist Church seem to think that Elizabeth Edwards thought she could control God. Their latest press release states: “GOD HATES ELIZABETH EDWARDS!”
As you know, I HATE getting into politics/religion discussions, but I have to say it. As someone who believes in God, don’t they know that God does not HATE at all? Doesn’t his word preach only forgiveness and love? The Westboro Baptist Church is nothing but a thinly disguised hate group that thrives on stirring up anger, hurting people and creating a hateful environment in times where peace should be prevalent.
Can you imagine being the parent of a child who was killed in combat and having these lunatics show up to protest? Can you imagine the hatred and resentment you would feel? All I can say is what comes around goes around. And one day, these people will get back what the have been dishing out – by tenfold.
