Fred Waldron Phelps, Sr., founder of the Westboro Baptist Church, in Topeka, Kansas, is said to be near death.

The Westboro Baptist Church are no strangers to Casper.  Most Casperites remember the WBC from protesting the funeral service held for Matthew Shepard in 1998 in Casper.  The WBC has now targeted the Connecticut tragedy as their next protesting platform.  The internet has been reacting extensively and Casper residents are getting in on the discussion.

The Westboro Baptist Church is at it again. The fundamentalist and anti-gay group has announced it will picket the funeral of former first lady Betty Ford, who died last week, because she got divorced before marrying the man who would later become President Gerald Ford. This, the group says, made her an adulterer who "loved to sit with tawdry reporters and blather about sex."
