Westboro Baptist Church Caught Photoshopping Whitney Funeral Protest

Posted by Kevin Farrell on Feb 20, 2012 in Bad News | 22 comments

Westboro Baptist Church member Margie Phelps was caught with her hand in the ~~cookie~~ Photoshop jar this weekend after tweeting a photo of the WBC’s protest at Whitney Houston’s funeral.

The problem? It never happened. In lieu of actually protesting, the WBC instead photoshopped their members holding God Hates Fags signs into the throngs of mourners at the church where Whitney was being laid to rest.

In a stunning show of racism – even for these scumbags – the photo was then tweeted to BET.

#FAIL

We continue to take it as proof of our sanity that we can never quite figure out just what the heck this group is trying to achieve with their bizarre fits.

Yikes.

Money! Every time someone interferes with their protests or physically touches any one of them or their signs, they get hit with a HUGE law suit. The head of the WBC used to be a lawyer, and now he’s got this huge brainwashed family and a lot of legal know-how.

What they’re trying to achieve is getting rid of gays. Obviously, they think they can fly, too.

Fred Phelps and his incest family protest at funerals, mostly soldiers’ funerals, with those signs trying to show that “God” is punishing the US by killing soldiers because the US tolerates gays.

I wish it were legal to kill him.

I was under the impression “Thou shalt not bear false witness” was one of those commandments they like so much…

This church really bugs me as a whole. I can not see how what they are doing is what the Lord would want. In the bible Jesus said treat others the way you want to be treated. Jesus did not say to love thy neighbor unless he is a homosexual, then you can hate them and condem them. Jesus spoke of love, not hate. Aren’t these also the people that say our acceptance of homosexuals is destroying our children? Because a yellow sponge, or a purple teletubie holding a purse? Im pretty sure their protest stating that God hates fags is not making a teens life easier who is struggling through their acceptance of their sexuality. This just shows how horrible they really are…photoshopping their memebers in a fake protest at a solem event….

To call them a church is a stretch at best.

Real Baptists prefer to use the name *Westboro Phelps Cult*…..people who attend real churches prefer the name as well.

That’s some horrible Photoshop job.

Why would the have even been at her funeral with those particular signs. She was straight.

This goes to show what happens when a group of people don’t stop to think before they act!!! No matter what no one should not be used and abused and this is abuse. This was a funeral for a person who had talent, but unforutnately wasted it. This is not the time nor place to be stupid. This type of display is uncalled for and unintelligent. We should be better than this. I am ashamed of the thoughtlessness of this group!

If a “God Hates Fags” sign is photoshopped into a crowd picture after the photo is taken does the crowd have recourse?
Is the sign actually seen?
Is God aware of this?

After reading some of her tweets in regard to this, it seems she set it up to distribute the lie in hopes its message will be republished to spread their hate.
”
Multiple media outlets publish”Whitney in Hell,”while whining Westboro didn’t picket:) ”
”
What do my wandering eyes see? . . . publishing”Whitney in Hell”sign & tweeted to 19.5K!”

Prov. 10:18 Anyone who indulges in slander is a fool. Thou shalt not bare false witness. It is the same as murder. Exodus 20:16 Thou shalt not bare false witness against thy neighbor.

Um……I suppose the silver lining here is perhaps they’ll start doing that all the time. Staying home and just photo shopping themselves into pictures. That way they can have their delusions and the rest of us can go on with our lives in peace.

Please refer to them as a cult.
They follow a “charismatic” leader and do everything he insists.They are made up of mostly family members who have been brainwashed into following skewed religious ideals.They ostracize anyone (including children) who goes against any of their man-made rules in the name of God.

The
biblical definition of a church is the people who together follow the
teachings of Christ. These people could not be practicing acts that are
farther from what Jesus taught if they tried.
