God Sends Out Traveling Hate Band, Again

A member of Topeka Kansas's Westboro Baptist Church
is shown protesting at the funeral of a fallen soldier on July 25, 2005.

As if last summer's protest at a soldier's funeral in Kansas didn't quite get the message across, God is sending out the Phelps family to Maryland to start cleaning up the East Coast.

The Westboro Baptist Church members bring their warmth and love to Loyola College, Baltimore, proving once again that God, an all-loving, all-caring image, does hate some people. Fred "The Tsunami Was A Good Thing" Phelps' followers will protest The Laramie Project, the play which is based on the town's wide range of reactions after the Matthew Shepard murder in 1998.

Baltimore City police, handling approximately 269 murders last year, are flipping coins to get the assignment of guarding the campus. Tim Fox, Loyola's director of Public Safety, thinks the cops are in for a let down.

"Everything we've been told about these people is
that they're very peaceable other than the fact that
they're knuckleheads in their beliefs."

In case you miss the Loyola College rally, God has scheduled additional weekend appearances for Westboro, conveniently finding three other churches he hates in Charm City.
