Go For The Eyes, Boo

Ahh, Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church, arguably the biggest anti-abortion nutjobs in the country. Needless to say, they've hit a new high in Obama Derangement Syndrome: They've found a new soft underbelly to attack Obama through, and that would be going after his daughters Malia and Sasha Obama.

Westboro Baptist Church, the fringe-of-the-fringe anti-gay group famous for protesting at military funerals and claiming that God is punishing the country for its tolerance of homosexuality, was spotted this morning protesting outside Sidwell Friends, the school attended by Sasha and Malia Obama.

Protesters were carrying signs with anti-gay, anti-abortion and anti-Obama slogans, slowing down traffic all along Wisconsin Avenue this morning.

One member, Megan Phelps-Roper, posted a picture on Twitter of the protest.

Westboro Baptist Church, founded by Fred Phelps and made up mostly of Phelps family members, has garnered national attention for carrying signs such as "Thank God for 9/11" and protesting at funerals, including that of Matthew Shepard, the student who was killed in 1998 because he was gay.

They believe that the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, as well as the ensuing wars and even the mass shooting last week at Fort Hood, are punishment from God for tolerance of homosexuality. They plan to picket the Fort Hood memorial service this Tuesday.

Because after all, Obama's kids are fair game if Dad's the Antichrist (not to mention the victims of Ft. Hood.)

Lovely people, yes?
