Westboro Baptist Church plans to protest Elizabeth Taylor's funeral

In typically abrasive and offensive style, Margie Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church announced plans to picket the Oscar-winning actress' funeral - apparently over her work as an AIDS activist.
"No RIP Elizabeth Taylor who spent her life in adultery and enabling proud f---," Phelps wrote via Twitter. "They cuss her in hell today. #Westboro will picket funeral!"
In another in a series of increasingly nasty posts, Phelps - daughter of church pastor Fred Phelps - described the late Hollywood icon as a "serial-adulterous f-- hag."
It's unclear how the group plans to target the funeral, since it was expected to be a private family affair.
Westboro Baptist made headlines by protesting at the funeral of a Marine killed in Iraq, waving signs that read "God Hates F---" and "America Is Doomed."
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled earlier this month that the demonstrations were free speech protected by the First Amendment.
Jarrett Barrios, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, quickly denounced the announcement.
"Fred Phelps and his vitriolic anti-gay followers are simply trying to exploit their so-called 'faith' by spreading messages of hate at a time when Americans are grieving the loss of an extraordinary woman, actress and advocate," Barrios told E! News

not even in the ballpark.
do they give Christianity a "bad name"? yes and no.
yes ....because some people seek to use them as a "comparison" of historical Christianity in order to manufacture an excuse as to why it's "not true" (even though that methodology is a false sense of adding up what's valid and what's not), and NO.....because it's glaringly obvious to anyone with a smidgen of common sense can tell they are wack jobs
