(Newser) – Rev. Fred Phelps hates all things gay, and Lady Gaga certainly qualifies. So he’s launching a crusade against her, announcing today that his Westboro Baptist Church will picket an upcoming Gaga concert. In a charming press release titled “God Hates Lady Gaga,” he explains that Gaga is a “proud whore” who “teaches rebellion against God.”

“Does the simple slut truly think that she can change God's standards by seducing a generation of rebels into joining her in fist-raised, stiff-necked, hard-hearted rebellion against Him? Get real!” he continues. “She hates you! … YOU’RE GOING TO HELL.”

Is it wrong that I think its hilarious that Fred Phelps of all people even know who Lady Gaga is? Can you imagine him watching her perform somewhere. I bet his reaction was hilarious. What a putz!

@paul123. Hey you were right, he did say soemthing about Phelps in 2007. However, given the disservice these man has done against veterans you would have thought the conservative commentators would have singled out this wothless piece of human flesh onmore than a few episodes. http://crooksandliars.com/2007.../
