Latest from the "vermin that other vermin cross the street to avoid" category, it seems that the "Rev." Phelps' offspring have come all the way to Long Island with their "God hates fags" message:

Newsday:
Protesting what they believed to be an "abominable sin", eight members of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas picketed outside of W.C. Mepham High School in Bellmore this morning.

The protest, countered by hundreds of members of various gay, lesbian and transgender associations as well as parents and students of the high school, was organized in response to the alleged sodomizing of three freshman football players by three varsity football players at a camp in Preston Park, PA in August.

"This school has bought upon it everything that happened when parents taught [their children] that it is OK to be gay," said Becky Phelps-Davis as she stood outside of Mepham at about 7:00 a.m.

The other seven protestors, including four young children, were also members of the Phelps family. While Phelps-Davis stopped short of calling the students involved in the hazing incident homosexuals she did say, "It ain't very far from being [one] to sodomizing your fellow student."

After relocating the protest from the high school to the district administration building on Meadowbrook Road, as they had planned, the Phelps family made a show of stomping on rainbow colored gay pride and American flags before packing up their signs, waving goodbye and at about 8:30 a.m., disappearing as quickly as they had come.

What a bunch of young fascists in the making, eh? Desecrating the flag, holding "God hates America" signs. And shouldn't those "four young children" be in school? Perhaps someone should have a talk with the Topeka Child Protective Services....
