Well they are really showing their racism now . . .

The group that loves to hate is planning a whirlwind tour of South Florida this week, starting today.

Westboro Baptist Church, a Kansas group known for picketing soldiers' funerals and staging inflammatory demonstrations, has targeted Jewish organizations, including ones in West Palm Beach, Loxahatchee, Palm Beach Gardens and suburban Boca Raton, on its three-day campaign, according to its web page.

The Anti-Defamation League calls Westboro "a small, virulently homophobic, anti-Semitic hate group."

Andrew Rosenkrantz, the ADL's Florida regional director, was blunt about the group, noting that it was not associated with any known mainstream religious organization.

"Their message is disgusting and reprehensible," he said.

The Westboro demonstration at the Jewish Federation is scheduled for Tuesday morning, when parents are dropping off children at school on the federation campus.

"We will ignore them," said Bill Bernstein, president and CEO of the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County.
