Westboro Baptist transcends the “contemptible ghoul” category and ascends to the level of demented fuckwits.

Quadriplegic quarks! I see in the links that WBC have been doing this many times before. They even danced over the bodies of Thailand 2004 tsunami victims and hallowed the tragedy.
Since it is a similar case I didn’t know about I will indulge in a little comparison.
The reason for WBC’s atrocious behavior was that it was one of the largest swedish catastrophes lately. And homosexuals, Sweden and Canada are on Fred Phelp’s hit list.
A pentecostal pastor (and now you know it’s going to be bad) Åke Green made a sermon attacking homosexuals, mixing biblical and nazi imagery ( http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%85ke_Green ). He was accused of breaking the newly updated hate crime legislation that now includes homosexuals.
But acquitted because the legislation was found to be inconsistent with the Europa Union conventions – it is too aggressive against free speech. Apparently the freeing and the legislative rework it triggered doesn’t matter for Phelp. He put up a web site that accuses Swedes for s_o_d_o_m_y, b_e_s_t_i_a_l_i_t_y and i_n_c_e_s_t. [Spam filter edit.] The evidence: the royal family is financed by the state.
In both cases WBC are claiming their gods willed the outcome. The illogic in their thinking this will be publicly positive is only offset by the massive illogic in the arguments. (‘Acquittal didn’t mean anything because the population applauded Green’s problems – never mind that we applaud massive deaths.’ “jackass Swedes”, you are welcome to email but “cuss words are not relevant”. Et cetera.)
And what they don’t want to mention is that Green himself, who seems to have gladly accepted support from swedish televangelists and neo-nazi’s, distanced himself from the WBC actions since they were “appalling” and “harms Christianity” ( http://www.thelocal.se/article.php?ID=818&date=20050107 ).
Deranged or not, WBC seems to be stout defenders of their faith, uncaring of consequences (or others). I hope against hope that this time US religious people give them the support they are worth.
