shouldn't that be "a new low for wingnut Christian churches"? this is the organization in question:

Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) is a controversial church, considered by many to be a hate group, headed by Pastor Fred Phelps, and based in Topeka, Kansas, U.S.. It runs the websites GodHatesFags.com,[1] GodHatesAmerica.com and others expressing condemnation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender people (LGBT), Roman Catholics, Muslims and Jews, as well as populations it considers to support the forementioned groups, including Swedes, Canadians, Irish and Americans.

the protests at soldier's funerals are appalling but they're not anti-war messages:

Recently, they have shifted their interest to picketing the funerals of soldiers killed in the Iraq War, believing this to be more of "God's judgment" on America. The FAQ section of the website states that, in their view, soldiers didn't join the military out of a sense of patriotism, but because they are "lazy, incompetent idiots" unable to find work elsewhere.

the problem with Baptists is that they don't hold their heads underwater long enough.
