God hates Reno

Fred Phelps and his anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church (who I've confronted before) put out a press release after their failed protest at the funeral of a local fallen Iraq soldier. The takeaway? "God hates Reno." The Reno Gazette-Journal investigates further:

The group’s Web site notes that God also hates Sweden, Canada, Ireland and Mexico.

We're like our own country! (via renoanditsdiscontents)

Fred Phelps makes me rethink the wisdom of the universal franchise.

Why did the RGJ see fit to put all of the missing girl's facebook pictures up?

That case is a big deal here. Her photo is everywhere.

But her drunken party photos? Seems unnecessary.

Jon May | Fri, 02/01/2008 - 4:02pm

what seems even more unnecessary is the link to "buy this photo" above each one.

Yeah, those "buy this photo" links are going to be a copyright problem for somebody.

See "God Hates Reno" on YouTube. Did Reno police fair to "serve and protect"?
