David Shuster's Twitter fight with anti-gay church that picketed Obama kids’ school

By GottaLaff

Earlier today I posted about David Shuster's disgust at a group of picketers from Westboro Baptist Church outside of the Obama girls' school. Tomorrow they plan on protesting again.

David Shuster said all the right things, so I guess the truth hurt these revolting bunch of vulgar maniacs' widdle feelings:

But Shuster's Tweet set off an argument between the MSNBC reporter and Phelps-Roper.

"Don't forget our Tuesday Sidwell picket," Phelps-Roper Tweeted at Shuster, in reference to the group's plans to picket the school again. "Put away your idols and obey God!"

"Go ahead," Shuster Tweeted back at Phelps-Roper. "Show the entire world the vile, crude, and disgusting protest you put on this [morning] at the Obama kids' school."

Thank you, David. They are targeting children with their hate. Un. Ac. Ceptable.

As Terkel notes, this isn't the first time that an activist group has used the Obama girls' school as a setting for political exposition. In September, the group Operation Rescue held a protest outside Sidwell Friends where they reportedly displayed pictures of fetuses.

"Showing pictures of fetuses to young children will surely convince Malia and Sasha to be anti-choice, and warm hearts everywhere," liberal Fox News commentator Alan Colmes quipped at the time.

Two of my favorite Twitter pals nailed it, David Shuster for directly calling out this despicable group of zealots, and Alan for his snarky truth-telling.

This so-called "church" is shameless. Maybe someone should start picketing them.
