Once again, the Westboro Baptist Church (you know, the God Hates Fags folks) failed to show up in Charlottesville, despite (once again) scheduling the appearance on its website.
Westboro first promised to appear at UVA’s performance of The Laramie Project, a play about the Matthew Shepard slaying, on November 14. The picketers never made it, though the University community showed up in droves in case they did.
This time on its schedule, Westboro said it would come to the corner of West Main Street and Jefferson Park Avenue today at 3pm in order to picket “the mocking patriots of the whore monger, slave-raping, God-hater Thomas Jefferson.”
“You think you can thumb your nose at God by having that stinking pale of slime called ‘The Laramie Project,’” reads the schedule. “Then, when we tell you we will picket you – you threaten us, and come out with mob mentality to ‘get with’ the servants of God?! You are in big trouble, WITH GOD!”
(Thanks to Rick Sincere for first pointing this out.)
