Westbozo takes on Weird Al

The bigots have been doubling down in recent days, and the far-right Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas - which pioneered the Tea Party's tactics - is no exception.

Now - for no apparent reason - they plan to picket a "Weird Al" Yankovic concert in Kansas City. They put out a press release attacking the iconic singer and mocking his deceased parents.

The press release also suggests, "Weird Al should be taking a lesson from fellow parody performers WBC and write his songs to glorify God." Westboro admits they're a parody now? What this likely refers to is Westbozo congregants - who are almost entirely Fred Phelps's family members - infamously butchering "We Are The World" in a YouTube video. Surely, this is one of the most ridiculous things they've put in their press releases since they said Frank Sinatra was responsible for "Sesame Street making Big Bird a fag" (in their words).

Weird Al has posted a copy of Westboro's press release on his Instagram site...

The Far Right hasn't been taking things too well lately. Now there's 5 counties in Kentucky that won't comply with Obergefell v. Hodges. (Then again, there's probably just as many school districts that defy Tinker v. Des Moines, so why should we be surprised?)
