You may or may not be aware of a group that pickets at the funerals of servicemen/women who were killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. They believe everything bad that's going on in the US is punishment from God. That picture to the right is this group at a soldier's funeral. Welcome to Fred Phelps and his gang of haters at Westboro Baptist Church. Oh, and did I mention the URL for this "church"? It's godhatesfags.com.
They've now announced that they'll be picketing at the funerals of the kids killed yesterday at Virginia Tech. According to a message on their website (which I haven't linked on purpose cause I don't want to give them any more traffic and make them think they're "popular"):
"WBC will preach at the funerals of the Virginia Tech students killed on campus during a shooting rampage April 16, 2007. You describe this as monumental horror, but you know nothing of horror -- yet. Your bloody tyrant Bush says he is 'horrified' by it all. You know nothing of horror -- yet. Your true horror is coming. 'They shall also gird themselves with sackloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads' (Eze. 7:18).Why did this happen, you ask? It's simple. Your military chose to shoot at the servants of God today, and all they got for their effort was terror. Then, the LORD your God sent a crazed madman to shoot at your children. Was God asleep while this took place? Was He on vacation? Of course not. He willed this to happen to punish you for assailing His servants."

Here is the number for the Westboro Baptist Church : (785) 273-0325 call them and let them know how much you disapprove.
Hmmm...not sure what number that is, but I tried. Got a recording that the wireless customer I was calling was not available.
