It’s because of America’s sins against the Westboro Baptist Church
A fringe church that has garnered attention and scorn for protesting funerals of troops killed in Iraq is planning to picket services for the victims of the Virginia Tech shootings.
Members of the Westboro Baptist Church have disrupted funerals across the country over the past few years with profane signs saying that deaths in Iraq are retribution triggered by America’s tolerance of homosexuals.
A church news release explains: “God is punishing America for her sodomite sins. The 33 massacred at Virginia Tech died for America’s sins against WBC (Westboro Baptist Church). Just as U.S. soldiers dying in Iraq each day for America’s sins against WBC.â€

The Westboro Baptist Church is a bunch of raving lunatics. One of the members did an interview with Sean Hannity once and she actually made Hannity seem sympathetic and likeable. Not an easy task.
