"The fundamentalist and anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church has announced plans to picket funeral services in California and Michigan for former first lady Betty Ford, who died Friday at age 93.

The Grand Rapids Press reports that the small congregation, consisting mostly of family members of founder Fred Phelps, announced on its website that it will demonstrate because Ford divorced her first husband, then married the future president, Gerald Ford..."

1. so they hate not only gays, but divorcees, too?

Wasn't Fred Phelps married more than once?

3. hate is usually irrational

makes me sad that people like that exist

[Cereal Kyller]

13. These wastes of sperm hate everything!

I wish their "God" would 'call them home' already!

2. I can't wait for Fred Phelps

to kick the damned bucket. I don't care where it is I'm going to protest his funeral and have a crab boil with a bunch of beer. Anyone want to tag along?

4. the party sounds good

but wouldn't waste my time acknowledging the funeral

[sharp_stick]

5. Oh we won't be acknowleging the funeral

we'll just be having a grand ol' time while they happen to drop the old bugger into a hole.

7. Old navy joke goes along with what you say

“Well,” snarled the tough old Navy Chief to the bewildered Seaman, “I suppose after you get discharged from the Navy,
you’ll just be waiting for me to die so you can come and piss on my grave.”

“Not me, Chief !” the Seaman replied. “Once, I get out of the Navy, I’m never going to stand in line again !

[tinymontgomery]

11. Yea, service jokes

and inter service ones are great.

6. It would probably be illegal to have his burial now,

before he dies.

[Ruby the Liberal]

12. Someone should look into loopholes on that

just in case its a go.

[pennylane100]

14. thats a great thought.

[enough]

8. After a while you have to wonder what they are protesting against -- death? (NT)

[Maccagirl]

10. Wasn't Reagan divorced too?

Whoops...sorry to bring up an inconvenient truth.

15. Leave Betty alone you rotten son of a bitch..!

Phelps, make sure you get buried in Kansas, I have to go to Emporia, just sometime in the future. With gas so high I may combine that trip and the trip to piss on your grave. A fine woman, Ms Ford & brave too. I think someone will be standing between your complete bastard ass and the services.
