It seems Phelps and his Westboro clan weren't impressed with Jobs either.
Margie Phelps, the daughter of church founder Fred Phelps, said that members would picket Jobs’s funeral because he “gave God no glory & taught sin.”
The Topeka, Kan.-based church has engaged in this kind of un-Christian activity before, picketing outside funerals of celebrities and soldiers and distributing anti-gay material — anything to attract media attention. Westboro members contend that God is punishing America for tolerating sin, such as accepting homosexuality.
The message “THANK GOD! Steve Jobs is dead” was posted on the church’s Web site on Thursday. “Those captains of business/industry in Noah’s day did what Jobs and his cohorts do TODAY: turn the country over to the fags. Fag marriage will bring your destruction! Jobs is responsible!”

Further proving that the extreme right wing doesn't get irony, they announced their intentions on an iphone.

I don't wish him any ill,but I am not likely to bow down either. What that Phelps bunch is planning is unconscionable, but then they don't have a conscience, collectively or otherwise.

I wish they'd do what the Heaven Gate group did here in San Diego. Actually, getting trapped in their own burning church would be welcome news.

Ignore them and remove their incentive. You don't think they are really interested in anyone's soul do you?
Regardless,

The Westboro bunch is one outfit that I haven't a clue as to why they do what they do.
Perhaps it's because I can't get past their repugnant tactics.
