When Hate Collides: The KKK Meets the Westboro Baptist Church

The Klan is standing up to the 'God Hates Fags' protestors in light of the WBC's picketing of military funerals. Now if only they both could lose:

The church has said it will picket the funerals of the children murdered at the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. The church blames the increasingly progressive attitudes to homosexuality for everything that is bad that happens to Americans.

Dennis LaBonte, ‘Imperial Wizard’ of a KKK chapter said that 10 members of the group came in “support of the troops.”He aded that he’s not a “hate-monger,” and said he “thinks that it’s an absolute shame that [the WBC] show up and disrupt people’s funerals.”

God Hates Fags protestor Abigail Phelps said the KKK “have no moral authority on anything.”
