God hates everything

Topeka minister Fred Phelps and his "God Hates Fags" Westboro Baptist flock enjoyed a busy day of street protesting in St. Louis yesterday. During the afternoon, church members and their enslaved children gathered outside of Busch Stadium and the Cardinals/Dodgers game. (I hope some of the acolytes went in. Wainwright pitched great.) Then in the evening, they engaged passers-by across from the Lady Gaga concert at the Scottrade Center. They also worked in a stop at a local Jewish Community Center.

The Westboro Church website calls St. Louis "that evil city with the giant arch," which I'm sure has city civic leaders frustrated. Sure St. Louis is not "that evil city with mile after mile of white sandy beaches," but why can't it ever be "that city with the tremendous art museum," or "that city with the increasingly popular mass transit system"? Sure the Arch is great, but there's lots of other things to see and do in St. Louis.

And why are they slapping at Lady Gaga, yet Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers get completely off the hook for their show tonight? The veteran musicians of the Petty band may no longer get the amount of tabloid attention "the little false prophetess" does, but are they not also going to eventually have the spirit of supplication poured from them? Are they not equally complicit in the idolatry and promotion of the rights of fags to eat each other's feces and the whores to kill their unborn? I say yes. I read a Petty biography.
