Is the Westboro Baptist Church Really Coming?

That’s what they claim, according to a story in the Marquette Tribune.

Of course we have been through this before, when they promised to picket a presentation by Judy Shepard (mother of supposed gay martyr Matthew Shepard).

But they did not show up.

The Westboro Baptist Church is Exhibit One for the fact that some people who deserve to be obscure would prefer to be reviled.  They have perfected quite a good strategy for achieving that.

And they have given the gay lobby and its allies some fine opportunities to engage in self-righteous moral preening.
