According to a News Release issued on July, 02, 2008, by the Westboro Baptist Church, Fred Phelps and his family of followers will be picketing the death of a pregnant U.S. Soldier, who Phelps refers to as a “worthless dyke.” What follows is a textual extraction from the PDF News Release, written here verbatim, without any editorial corrections.
| Westboro Baptist Church (WBC Chronicles - Since 1955) NEWS RELEASE God Hates the U.S. Military. Yes. We at WBC know these American troops WBC to picket Fort Bragg Like the murdered pregnant Marine a short Fort Bragg Gospel Picket: Bragg Blvd. & Knox St.

As for citing the source, sorry, I would rather wait until after the Phelps’ have finished with their slanderous, libelous, and shedding of innocent blood “Gospel Picket.” Now that’s an oxymoron: “Gospel Picket.” The Gospel means “good news,” while pickets usually refer to a protesting against something of sorts. What are the Phelps’ doing, protesting against the Good News? Without equivocation, my answer is yes!…
And religious preachers like Perry Stone, Rod Parsley, John Hagee, Myles Munroe, and Fredrick Price have the wherewithal to claim that such “hate speech” against homosexuals is acceptably endorsable by God Himself. Maybe now those same preachers will come to see that spitefully hating and verbally damning homosexuals to hell in the name of God, is in fact “hate speech,” especially when the same Christ Jesus who saved and forgave them from their sins is the very same Christ Jesus who saves and forgives homosexuals from their sins.
In any event, I pray for the families and citizens who will be forced to see and/or hear the Phelps’ “Gospel Picket.” May the LORD protect the gates of your eyes and ears, and the gates of your heart and mind from the Phelps’ hatefilled message(s).
