Margie Phelps, Westboro member and attorney (as well as daughter of founder Fred Phelps), took to Twitter last night as announcements came in at around 7:30 pm ET regarding the passing of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs. In a slew of messages sent as tweets, Phelps wrote to her followers, “Westboro will picket his funeral. He had a huge platform; gave God no glory and taught sin.”
In another tweet, Phelps wrote, “No peace for man who served self, not God. ” which she augmented with the hashtag “#hellgreetedhim.”
Ironically, Phelps used Jobs’ own genius to propagate her messages — her tweets were all sent courtesy of an iPhone, perhaps the gadget most synonymous with Jobs’ tenure with Apple.
But don’t tell that to Phelps. As she says, give credit where credit is due. Following up with fresh tweets this morning, Phelps wrote “Rebels mad cuz I used iPhone to tell you Steve Jobs is in hell. God created iPhone for that purpose!”
