The Stupid Parade: More filth from Fred Phelps, albeit with a different target

[the_archfiend]

Kudos to Dave Kovarik for mentioning this.
 
Kansas nutcase Fred Phelps and his travelling caravan of inbred relatives calling themselves the Westboro Baptist Church have decided to move away from their usual tactic of picketing everything in an effort to demonize gays and are now - wait for it - targeting synagogues and other Jewish organizations.
 
From the article:

In Washington, Margie Phelps balanced several signs targeting Jews, Israel and the Obama administration. One read "Rabbis Rape Kids," another said "God Hates Jews." Margie Phelps' T-shirt read "Jews Killed Jesus." She argued with men and women passing by, warning them that God will soon send the Jews to hell.

"I don't care what you claim, chosen wise," she said. "Obedience is the standard."

Ah, clerico-fascism. And in 2009, yet. How charming.

As usual, this mentally addled nonsense backfired nicely:

Indeed, many Jewish groups have found a Westboro protest has opened doors for dialogue and interfaith engagement. Several weeks after they came to Hillel, Ayalon coordinated a large campus rally for peace. She had heard from many students, and leaders of faith groups, who wanted to speak out.

"It was a learning experience," she said. "It showed how not to react and think about what they're doing and do something more constructive."

My only question is how a malicious sack of maggot-ridden crap like Phelps can look himself in the mirror when he wakes up in the morning.
