			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fred Phelps&#8217; Westboro Baptist Church will stop at nothing when they &#8220;assume&#8221; someone is GLBT in any way. According to the churches website they will be picketing the late King of Pop&#8217;s funeral for the following reasons: (we are not putting the link here but if you want to read the full account Google the church and read their picketing schedule. we will not give them the satisfaction of a link.)</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>07/07/2009 </strong><strong>08:00 AM &#8211; 10:00 AM </strong><strong>Los Angeles, CA </strong>Staples Center &#8211; Michael Wacko Jacko Jackson is in hell! 1111 S. Figueroa St WBC will be there to remind you to stop worshiping the dead. We will be there to tell you to Thank God for the death of this filthy, adulterous, idolatrous, gender-confused, nationality-confused, unthankful brute beast. We will be there to remind you that God Killed Wacko Jacko. There is a God, and a Day of Judgment. For you to wallow and murmur against God for his righteous Judgments is sin and will cause YOU to join Michael in hell.</p></blockquote>
<p>On last account Michael Jackson was not gender confused he was a performer and a kind gentle spirit who only wished to be surrounded by people of the same spirit. In his last years he was taken advantage of more than onece by people seeking a &#8220;payday&#8221; but not one press outlet ever reported that he was gender confused, transgenderd or any variation thereof.</p>
<p>But then this is a group who has outwardly threatened Jews in their own synagogue. Stating this on their website;</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>07/10/2009 </strong><strong>1:00 PM &#8211; 1:30 PM </strong><strong>Chicago, IL </strong>Chicago Loop Synagogue  &#8211; Any good Jews, get outta there!  16 S. Clark St</p></blockquote>
<p>We have one question when is this group going to be considered a terrorist group and be detained at Guantanamo Bay with all the other terrorists? What they are doing is terrorising the funerals of people who only deserve to rest in peace and causing grief to the families and friends/fans who love them. They are also threatening good people in their place of worrship.</p>
<p>As Susan Powder Used to say STOP THE INSANITY!!</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t there something we can do about them?</p>
<p>You may not consider this news but to us it is sad and it needs to be known so maybe something can be done about what this group stands for.</p>
