MyFox Birmingham | Westboro Hate Group to Protest Funerals for School Bus Victims

Gee, I'm sure these people are going to get a lot of people who agree with them in Alabama this week... NOT.

MyFox Birmingham | Westboro Hate Group to Protest Funerals for School Bus Victims:


BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC-TV)—  The pastor of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, Fred Phelps, makes a habit out of protesting military funerals and homosexuals. Phelps and his group sent out a press release stating their plans to protest the funerals Friday and Saturday in Huntsville because they say, “God hates Alabama and America.”

The religious organization obtained a permit issued by the Huntsville Police Chief on Tuesday to protest near the funerals.

The group is monitored by the Anti-Defamation League and is described as a “hate group” by The Southern Poverty Law Center. Westboro Baptist Church has 150 members that is mainly comprised of family. The families live together behind a large fence in a nine home compound in Topeka, Kansas.
