It's a new low for The Most Hated Family In America, as they were dubbed in a 2007 BBC documentary about the Westboro Baptist Church, whose members routinely picket funerals of American soldiers.

The group is so obsessed with anti-homosexual theology it adopted the slogan "God hates fags" for the name of its website.
