Westboro Church to picket Steve Jobs Funeral

[leftyladyfrommo]

I saw this yesterday. The daughter tweeted the news from her Iphone. (Sorry. I don't have one.
I get all these names confused).

I don't know why they don't like Jobs. I'm thinking they just don't like funerals - or maybe they just see all funerals as an opportunity to make fools of themselves.

I doubt they will be able to get anywhere near this funeral. It will be huge.

1. Yup, the daughter tweeted the news from her iPhone

her Apple iPhone. :rofl:

Allegedly Mr. Jobs "taught sin" or some such tommyrot. :eyes:

[leftyladyfrommo]

3. Taught "sin" to whom?

Did she say what kind of sin?

This might get good.

[KamaAina]

14. All she said was "he gave no glory to God and taught sin".

So I guess God only mildly disliked him, rather than truly hating him. :eyes:

[louslobbs]

16. What glory to God do these cretins give and what kind of God is it? n/t

17. I'm not sure

but I think it may have something to do with glory holes. :P

(Seriesly, there have been multiple Phelps sightings over the years on lower Polk St. in SF, where Margaret Cho's family had their bookstore.)

2. The Phelps are addicts.

They are addicted to publicity.

[leftyladyfrommo]

They are addicted to money.

I guess hate can be addictive, too.

[monmouth]

4. The funeral was held today, time and location were not made public

and it was only for very close family and friends. I hope those ijits got lost and are still scrambling...

18. I was thinking that his family broke all kinds of records

burying him but I figure that Mr. Jobs probably made the arrangements himself or was quite explicit in his instructions to his loved ones.

5. i think they missed it...

pretty sure it was held today.

sP

[JoePhilly]

6. They are going to HELL for that TWEET ... because they used Satan's Ipod!!!!

:rofl:

[gratuitous]

7. People are starting to catch on to these attention whores

They don't make anywhere near the splash they used to. Diminishing returns and all that. Perhaps it's time to adopt a new schtick, Phelpsians?

[leftyladyfrommo]

9. I saw them not long ago.

They protested at a Catholic Church by me.

Some of their signs were really sick. You would have to be a really sick person just to think up the stuff on those signs. But it was peaceful. There were as many police there as protesters.

8. The same dozen or so inbred morons show up waving signs.

Big fucking deal.

[leftyladyfrommo]

10. So many of the signs are held by children.

That's an awful way to raise a child. Kind of like the kids of the crazy survivalists up in the Idaho woods. Those kids don't have a chance.

21. If it makes you feel any better,

some of them get away. http://natephelps.com/bio

All hope isn't lost for those kids, but the chance is vanishingly slim. :(

[no_hypocrisy]

11. They chose Jobs b/c it attracts media attention.

[TheDebbieDee]

19. I agree..........these a$$holes crave attention!

12. Actually no public funeral... Private funeral held today & unannounced.

Steve Jobs Funeral Held Friday, Ceremony Private: Report

SAN FRANCISCO — The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the funeral for Apple co-founder Steve Jobs is being held Friday.

The newspaper cited an unnamed person familiar with the matter. The person described the ceremony as a small private gathering. The person would not say where or when Friday the funeral is taking place.

Apple would say only that no public funeral services are planned. Apple has invited the public to send memories, thoughts and condolences to rememberingsteve(at)apple.com

13. it would be nice

if the iphone numbers were made public

That way everyone could text the numbers all day long with messages of god hates you. It would be funny if they didnt have a unlimited texting plan. Could cost them $100,000 in one day. ;)

15. They are even slightly less relevant than the Wasilla Whack-job.

[nichomachus]

20. They're just opportunistic -- like an infection

[JPZenger]

22. Please don't call them a church - they are an inbred cult

If we stopped giving them any attention, they would shrivel up and die.

[Capitalocracy]

23. Attention Whores To Demand Attention

haha, they just don't like funerals... or maybe they love 'em, they keep going to them whether or not they're invited.
