Tornado Brings Out The Crazies

Crazies like Alex Jones and Westboro Baptist Church are trying to capitalize on tragedy by drawing attention away from the Oklahoma tornado victims and onto themselves.

While Oklahomans are coping with the devastation caused by Monday’s tornado, the lunatic Westboro Baptist Church, widely considered a hate group, is seeking to draw attention away from the victims and onto their hate-filled agenda by blaming the extreme weather event on a local team’s support for NBA star Jason Collins’s coming-out.

According to The Huffington Post, Fred Phelps, Jr., the son of Westboro Baptist minister Fred Phelps, tweeted about “God’s wonderful wrath in Oklahoma” using such “insightful” hashtags as “GodCursesUForFagMarriage”, “GodIsYourTerrorist”, and “GodH8sU”. This invaluable member of the human race has apparently decided that the citizens of Oklahoma were attacked by God due to Kevin Durant’s support for the openly-gay basketball player Jason Collins (Durant plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder).

Come on, don't be slow about it. We know you're out there and you never miss an opportunity to broad-brush some more dirt on the man.

If there were a God, he would have smitten his hateful ass decades ago.
