Westboro Baptist Church To Protest Joe Paterno Funeral

The crazies of Westboro Baptist Church are at it again, this time announcing that the will picket the upcoming funeral of legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterono who died on Sunday at the age of 85-years-old.

Speaking for her family (which pretty much makes up the congregation) Margie Phelps, daughter of Pastor Fred Phelps tweeted:

“Penn State Penn Rape” rings in Joe Paterno’s earns in hell” He partook of sin for fame & fortune. Worth NOTHING to him now. #PicketFuneral.”

Perhaps if any member of the church knew how to read they would realize that while Joe Paterno was ultimately fired because the administration felt a change needed to be made they would have realized that following the “shower incidence” at Penn State it was Joe Paterno who handed the Jerry Sandusky case immediately over to school investigators. In fact a grand jury cleared the head coach of all wrongdoing in the case.

Earlier reports had stated that Joe Paterno attempted to cover up the incident but those accusations have repeatedly been shown to be rubbish.

Then again the wackadoo’s at Westboro Baptist Church are more about publicity then about god and relgion, they announced in October that they would picket the funeral of Apple founder Steve Jobs and they also picketed the Michael Jackson funeral and various other events including the funeral of a fallen American soldier.

Perhaps what the church is best known for is there “God Hates Fags” signs and their creepy connection to their own family members.

Here’s exactly how crazy the Westboro Baptist Church can be when protesting something as simple as the Grammy Awards:

Do you think the Westboro Baptist Church is made up of a bunch of hate hungry crazies who have twisted the words of the Bible to fit their own outward disgust for people that are not just like them?
