A fire broke out at Westboro Baptist Church this weekend. Shirley Phelps, whose father runs the anti-gay gang, claims it was a satanic arsonist, but neighbor Leona McQueen claims the crazies set the fire themselves to scare her into selling her property. Meanwhile, the Phelps clan picketed the fire fighters as they tried to extinguish the flames. [KSNT and AP]

Hah, those Phelps folk sure are crazy bitches. Isn’t this the second time a fire has broken out at WBC?

I’m surprised that worse hasn’t happened to these self righteous lunatics. I only wish I had know ahead of time. I would have brought the s’mores.

Poor Leona! Can you imagine having the Phelps’ next door.

If there is a God surely he would have brought down His wrath on these lunatics by now.

Phelps is a total looney, I am not surprised they set their own fire. Now if we can just get them to stay inside while it burns. Who said that?
