Westboro Goes After the Jews

Why would Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church go after the Jews after all these years of just attacking LGBT folks... oh, and dead soldiers. Fred's daughter explains:

While picketing outside the Washington office of the Anti-Defamation League last Friday, Phelps' daughter Margie told JTA that the group is now focusing on the Jewish community because church members have been “testifying” to gentiles for 19 years that “America is doomed” and they haven't gotten the message.

“Now it's too late," she said. "We're done with them.”

Margie Phelps added, “one of the loudest voices” in favor of homosexuality and abortion is “the Jews, especially the rabbis.”

“They claim to be God's chosen people,” she said. “Do you think that God is going to wink at that forever?”

I'm sure God has a lot to say on the subject, Maggie, but I don't think you're going to like it one bit. And since when do you get to decide who's in and out? "We're done with them?" Oh, ok, very scary.

I was really hoping there would be a GodHatesRabbis.com site up... there's not :-(. I'm looking forward to some good old fashion anti-Semitic propaganda to fill my day.
