Right-wing preacher Fred Phelps’s Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), an “anti-gay hate group,” is planning to picket former White House press secretary Tony Snow’s funeral. The WBC has been seen at Iraqi War veterans funerals claiming “war casualties are divine revenge for America tolerating gays and lesbians.”
Would you ever see a Left Wing/Liberal group doing this?
The WBC, as with much of the Right Wing and The Religious Right, are out of touch with Americans and what America stands for. I wonder if Bush and McCain are worried about offending groups like the WBC with their policy decisions versus compromising with a more centrist, liberal viewpoint when thinking about what their base would like?
