I swear, it’s almost enough to drive a sane person to turn liberal. Pink News (UK) reports:
The Westboro Baptist Church have announced they will picket the funeral of actor Robin Williams.
The Topeka-based anti-gay church, known for their ‘God Hates Fags’ banners, are currently in San Francisco for their ‘God Hates the Media’ campaign, targeting the headquarters of Apple, Facebook, and Twitter.
Williams, who starred as a gay man in cult classic The Birdcage, was found dead in his California home yesterday, age 63.
The star played a gay man in cult classic The Birdcage and cross-dressed in comedy Mrs Doubtfire, leading the church to claim he “made merchandise of filthy proud sin”.
To be sure, the crass morons at WBC have broadcast their plans via a Twitter campaign. Here are representative samples:

Westboro’s hate speech masquerading as piety has been the subject of previous Tweets of the Day, most notably here and here.
