Westboro plans Madiba funeral protest
Not even a beloved global icon like Nelson Mandela has been spared the vitriolic hatred espoused by America's infamous Westboro Baptist Church.
The hate-group, known for picketing at the funerals of homosexuals and American soldiers killed in duty, appears to be planning to travel to South Africa to protest at Mandela’s funeral.
The church tweeted from its account @WBCSays, “Thank God for Nelson Mandela being dropped into Hell! Westboro Baptist Church booking flight to South Africa (not banned) to picket funeral!”
The church then asked several South African news services via Twitter for details about the funeral so “travel arrangements can be made ASAP”.
In reply to a tweet about Mandela’s death by America’s ABC news, the group said, “Get over it, ya stinking hypocrites! That adulterer is currently residing in Hell.”
The church also tweeted, “We must picket Nelson Mandela’s funeral to warn you he’s in Hell. Stop worshipping him and obey God!”
The tweets elicited a very strong response from people across the globe.
