"&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=\"Joe Paterno\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/01/22/0121-joe-paterno-getty-bn.jpg\" /&gt;Margie Phelps&lt;/strong&gt;, daughter of Pastor Fred Phelps, announced on Twitter today the Westboro Baptist Church would be picketing the funeral of former Penn State football coach &lt;strong&gt;Joe Paterno&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paterno passed away earlier today from lung cancer. He was 85.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last October, Westboro announced they would picket the funeral of Apple co-founder &lt;strong&gt;Steve Jobs&lt;/strong&gt;. They also picketed the funeral of &lt;strong&gt;Michael Jackson&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The church is known for their extreme views against homosexuality. Based on other tweets (&lt;em&gt;see below&lt;/em&gt;), Paterno's involvement in the &lt;strong&gt;Jerry Sandusky&lt;/strong&gt; sexual abuse scandal is what drew their attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"MargiePhelps tweet: Penn State Penn Rape rings in Joe Paterno's ears in hell.
