Ozzy Osbourne Disgusted by Westboro Baptist Church for Hate Message

The Westboro Baptist Church is not looking to make any friends among celebrities, having already targeted Gaga, Bieber and Lambert. Now, it can also count on Ozzy Osbourne as an enemy.

For those who are not in the know, one of the favorite activities of the WBC is to discriminate against the gays even by showing up at funerals of dead US soldiers.

The other day, the Church staged a protest on the steps of the United States Supreme Court and perhaps thought it would be a good idea to play one of the rocker’s songs.

Understandably, Ozzy is fuming mad: first of all, because his music was used without previous approval, secondly because it was used to spread hate messages, E! Online informs.

“I am sickened and disgusted by the use of ‘Crazy Train’ [off ‘Blizzard of Ozz,’ 1980] to promote messages of hate and evil by a ‘church’,” the rocker said in a statement.

To prove that Ozzy wasn’t just being fussy about copyright and whatnot, E! goes on to detail the kind of hate crimes the WBC has made itself guilty of – and they’re not few at all.

“The small congregation, which chants things like ‘You’re Going to Hell’ and other feel-bad sentiments […], has garnered more attention now that their activities have turned into a free speech debate,” E! points out.

Still, that doesn’t change the fact that its members have made a habit of showing up at funerals (regarding of the dead person’s orientation) to protest.

“The father of Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, whose funeral attracted Westboro protesters, was awarded $5 million after suing the group and its founder Fred Phelps for emotional distress. The church appealed the ruling and the case is now going to be reviewed by the Supreme Court,” E! says.

This is why its members had showed up to protest once more.

“Which is where two of Phelps’ adult daughters quoted Ozzy in song, singing, ‘You’re going straight to hell on your crazy train.’ They looked pretty pleased with themselves for thinking that one up, too,” E! notes.

As also mentioned earlier, others who are going to hell (as per the WBC) are Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Adam Lambert.

Gaga and Lambert are damned because of their orientation, while Bieber because he’s not using the platform he’s been given to “change the world” instead of satisfying himself with being adored by millions, the “Church” says.
