Taylor Swift targeted by Westboro Baptist Church

Taylor Swift targeted by Westboro Baptist Church

The disciples of hate over at the Westboro Baptist Church have a new plan of attack in their never-ending quest to save the world's souls from a fiery doomsday: They want us all to band together and slut-shame Taylor Swift, self-professed 23-year-old haver of boyfriends.

In a press release on their lovely website, the WBC urges all you good, Christian hate mongers to gather at Tay-Tay's Aug. 3 concert at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., ready to picket that "immodest vulgar" she-devil. It seems Swifty is guilty of being a "serial fornicator" with a large Twitter following who "works her 'girl next door' country-singer shtick while hopping from one young man to the next and strutting across the world stage like a proud whore."

ErrmK.

The statement goes on to say that given Swift's popularity, "one simple tweet from her -- 'stop fornicating ladies, and obey God' -- would rock the house." But, says the WBC, that "would cost her millions" of the dollars she's earned from her "sin-coddling songs."

The ranty statement also bemoans the fact that Swift "uses her God given talent to warble about fornication instead of warning her fellow man about the coming destruction." (Oh, look, "warble." Nice use of Thesaurus.com, haters!)

And then there's some stuff about how the singer "worships" Barack and Michelle Obama and supports their "blood-soaked handiwork," aka "killing babies" and same-sex marriage. We're unsure how advancing equal civil rights with regard to love and the law is related to "blood," but then, we didn't realize wearing sneakers on the bleachers was gonna catapult us into Hades, either.

Radar spoke to the WBC's Ben Phelps, who elaborated on the anti-Taylor mission: "This girl is a whore," he said. "Who else is gonna say that if it's not the church of the Lord Jesus?" 

It's funny, but last we recalled, the Lord Jesus was saying stuff like, "As I have loved you, so must you love one another." We totes must have missed the Bible passage where he said, "Get thee to a pop concert and call some young woman a 'whore.'"
