Will someone burn the witch already? No, not Clinton. The witch we have within us---the bogey woman whom the right wing blames for every "bad thing" that has happened in the last fifty years. By "bad thing", they mean women's rights, minority rights and (especially) gay rights.
Members of the Westboro Baptist Church are threatening to picket the funerals of the victims of Wednesdays shooting at an African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina. The group, based in Topeka, Kansas, blamed Hillary Clinton for the deaths, saying the blood of Charleston Shooting dead is on [her] hands, a reference to the Democratic front-runners support among the churchs leaders.

The group also branded the Charlestons churchs leader, the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, as a lying preacher who supported Clintons sin campaign. Pinckney was among the victims of Wednesdays attack.
God did not send the shooter. The right wing sent the shooter. And Rev. Pinckney did not die because he supported the wrong candidate. He died, because our capitalist lord and masters have convinced some members of the white working class that their lives would be better if only Black lives mattered less.

Shirley Phelps-Roper and her kids. They are still wretched people, but whatever 'church' there was has devolved down to this one person and her offspring.
