Westboro member Margie Phelps later told The Tennessean, "I'm not sure it's fully decided at this moment." She says the group is also considering protests at NBA playoff games in Oklahoma City and Chicago in response to NBA player Jason Collins' recent announcement that he's gay. Phelps says chances of picketing Thursday in Nashville were "about 80/20 likely."

The Westboro Baptist Church has announced it plans to picket the funeral of country star George Jones, set to be held Thursday morning at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville.

Not Southern Baptists. I have been a Southern Baptist for 50 odd years and been to over 50 churches across 4 states as a member or visitor and have not seen any of them preach/act like those goons.

Latest news is they won’t picket George Jones funeral.

They like the Possum.

Instead? They’re going to the NBA finals.

You'd have to be a true Christian to still love these Westboro Baptist Church people, even if they are a fraudulent left-wing outfit hiding behind their phony church.

Me, if I saw them trapped and unconscious on the side of the road in an upside down burning 'Westboro Baptist Church' van, I'd just keep driving. Just wait for the mushroom cloud to appear in the rear-view mirror.

If the cops held me liable for not rendering aid, I'd say 'Oh, sorry. I was texting on my cell phone while driving and didn't see them'.

They better be careful, we here in Tennessee are heavily armed!

Would hate for them to have an “accident”.

I’m waiting for the day when all hell breaks loose against those people. They are playing with fire and sooner or later will get burned. Someone someday will punch their ticket and then its too late.

The basic message of the WBC is actually sound. The U.S. has turned it’s back on God, and we are paying a huge price for doing so. Unfortunately, these imbeciles have chosen a form of dispensing their basic message that is truly evil.

I can’t get worked up about these stooges anymore. Just ignore them, or remind everyone that they are Democrats.

Somehow, I suspect George Jones would be proud of that. Maybe when I go, I can get these creeps to show up and protest at my funeral.

He is laughing his ass off. These liberal maroons targeting him is so predictable of the liberal mindset.
