Fire breaks out at 'God Hates Fags' church
by Nick Langewis
Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, known for its vocal condemnations of homosexuality, website GodHatesFags.com and picketing of gay pride parades and funerals, has sustained thousands of dollars in damage after a fire early Saturday morning. Impromptu protest followed as firefighters carried out their response.
There's more to this article so feel free to follow the link and read the full version, but here is what caught my eye:
Meanwhile, a neighbor is suspicious that the fire is a hoax meant to intimidate her into giving up her property. "They keep claiming that this property is theirs, and it is not theirs," said 91-year-old Leona McQueen. "They keep wanting to buy me, but I don't want to sell it. I don't know if whether they are trying to push me out."
"It's a ridiculous accusation," Phelps-Roper countered. "The fire was started by someone as we slept. Thankfully the lord our god (sic) keeps us in all our ways."
The cause of the fire has not been determined. No picketing signs were harmed.
The original article also has a video of the emergency response. Is that really their church or just their garage?

Haha... it just shows how tiny and pathetic their hate movement is.
