Actress Elizabeth Perkins says those follows are from the Westboro Baptist Church Twitter feed, but it’s actually from the separate feed of Fred Phelps (UPDATE: We’re told the Twitter account Perkins referenced is a fake and might not even be affiliated with the WBC).
Though we’re not sure why any of those wackos would follow Palin and Fox News on Twitter, Ms. Perkins should know that, before Twitter existed, Phelps followed somebody she may know and perhaps even admire:
Al Gore & the Phelps kids. Fred Phelps once supported the Gore campaign. Clinton signed DOMA and DADT. #p2 #tlot pic.twitter.com/Fkv4WyDRGa
