A pittance of grace

The freaks at Westboro Baptist Church decided that they would rather not be dragged through the streets of Tuscon and strung up on the nearest light pole. They are still planning to picket funerals, just not the nine-year-old's. From the Deseret News:
Church agrees to not protest slain child's funeral
A controversial Kansas church has decided not protest at the funeral of a 9-year-old girl killed in Saturday's shooting rampage in Tucson, Ariz.

Shirley Phelps-Roper of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., says church members will skip Thursday's funeral of Christina Taylor Green.

Phelps-Roper was interviewed Tuesday by a station in Toronto, Canada, and is scheduled to be on a morning talk show Saturday. She says Westboro Baptist Church decided not to picket in exchange for the airtime.

Phelps-Roper says the group will picket the funeral Friday for U.S. District Judge John Roll and at the intersection where Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and others were shot.

The Arizona Legislature unanimously passed a measure Tuesday banning protests at or near funeral sites.
So they are gaining some time on a talk radio show in exchange for not picketing the child's funeral. I will look forward to hearing the audio as I bet they are just as moronic in speech as they are in action. These people are going to have the surprise of their 'life' when they pass over and wake up in hell... Posted by DaveH at January 12, 2011 7:52 PM
