Westboro Church Strikes Again, Staged Protest Outside Malia Obama's School, Refers to Obama Girls as "Satanic Spawn" of a "Murderous Bastard"

It is really sick that Westboro Baptist Church, a hate group that travels around the country holding anti-gay rallies, protested outside the school attended by President Barack Obama's children Monday morning. The so-called church is pastored by Fred Phelps and is made up of mainly his extensive family. A message on Westboro's website refers to the Obama children as "satanic spawn" of a "murderous bastard." Along with various schools, the church is also protesting outside the White House, the World War II memorial, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission field office.

ThinkProgress, notes that one of the attendees (and Phelps' granddaughter) posted a picture of the protest on Twitter:

Protesters were carrying signs with anti-gay, anti-abortion and anti-Obama slogans, slowing down traffic all along Wisconsin Avenue. Malia Obama attends the Washington, D.C. Sidwell middle school, where the Phelps family protested Monday; they plan to protest Tuesday at the Bethesda location, where Sasha Obama is a student. This is just shameful and sick. These children should be left alone. The Bible talked about wolves in sheep's clothing. Well, these people are worse than wolves. They are bottom-feeders.
