Westboro's Epic Fail Chapter 2

It appears the Westboro plan to be in Joplin, MO on Sunday to protest.  Obama plans to visit, and the attention-starved church will take full advantage.  Via my local paper:

The Westboro Baptist Church — known for its protests at the funerals of soldiers and people with HIV/AIDS — plans to picket in Joplin on Sunday, where at least 125 people have died in a tornado.

On its website, the church says “Thank God for 125 dead,” an echo of its common refrain crediting God with having people killed in retribution for the United States’ tolerance of homosexuality.

People here are raw in the face of so much loss.  One of these days Westboro will pull the wrong chain and get a much deserved butt kicking.  When it happens, they can hardly pretend to be surprised.  Whatever day that is, I will mark it as a personal holiday and celebrate it every day for the rest of my life, and I'm not kidding.
