“God Hates Fags” in Cincinnati?

According to the schedule of events posted at the disgusting God Hates Fags website, the group will be bringing their outrageous protests to Cincinnati for Matt Maupin’s funeral on April 27th at the Great American Ball Park. In an interesting counter-development, this MySpace page showcases what appears to be a group who wants to surround the “God Hates Fags” group with American flags so no one can see them.
"God Hates Fags” is the work of Westboro Baptist Church. Apparently, the group believes that God is allowing American soldiers to die because someone bombed their church in the mid-90’s. Their website states:
August 20, 1995 - The Night America Bombed Westboro Baptist Church With An IED (Improvised Explosive Device) In A Cowardly Move To Stop WBC’s Anti-Gay Gospel Preaching - Thereby Bringing Down The Unmitigated And Irreversible Wrath Of God Upon This Evil Nation, Manifesting Itself In The Daily Bloody IED-Deaths Of American Soldiers In Iraq And Other Places.
Follow this link, and watch a video sermon where you will be told things like “Fags are violent.”
One must wonder what will happen during Maupin’s funeral, and whether the folks from Westboro Baptist Church will be able to get their hatred into the news.
