Apparently, Westboro's deity also hates tweets, tweetphotos and tweeps

    Rev. Fred and the Westboro Phelpses to picket Twitter for 30 minutes Thursday (starting 4:30 p.m. PT, 7:30 p.m. ET).

    One of these days a lightning bolt's gonna strike one of 'em down. Wonder what they'll say about that?

    I'm sure that will have a major effect on the Tweeterverse.

    And one of these days, when they decide to picket the funeral of a fallen cop or soldier, it won't be a lighting bolt that strikes 'em down, but a baseball bat or a snub-nose.

    And no jury in the world will convict.

    This is why I'm hoping for a lightning bolt, or a tornado, or a meteor, or one of those chunks of blue-toilet-water ice that occasionally falls off of airplanes: they're all under the "act of God" classification.

    Even better if it happens to one of them mid-harangue. ;D

    These people really are scum. Go away, losers.

    I'm confused. They're protesting Twitter but the article doesn't explain why. Also, according to the article, the protesters will be Tweeting during their thing. And the head wanker said something about how Obama's going to take this away to serve him, so enjoy the freedom while you have it, which sounds somewhat pro-Twitter.

    To get articles written about them and to get people complaining.

    So it's basically an anti-Obama protest.

    Nah, it'll be their usual God-hates-gays schtick.
