What the media skips when reporting on the Westboro Baptists: their party affiliation

The death of a soldier who has given his or her life to protect our freedoms is always a sad event. Having to put one of our best and brightest to rest is made still more difficult by the fiendish antics of Fred Phelps and his band of evil bastards from the Westboro Baptist Church. This bunch has made it their mission to disrupt and make more painful as many military funerals as they possibly can.

They carry signs claiming our fallen heroes are guilty of promoting homosexuality and that “God hates fags.” Watching these low lifes begs the questions: Who are they and who is their leader?

The answers are never clear because of a systematic media cover up. The Democrat controlled media would love to write about Phelps and his gang being “Right Wing fanatics”, but of course it can’t because the truth is 180 degrees to the opposite.

Fred Phelps is a long time Democrat supporter and frequent Democrat candidate for various offices in Kansas. As recently as 1998 Phelps got 15% in a Democrat primary for governor. He has been a devoted supporter of Al Gore and led his church members in working for Gore in 1988. Phelps’ son Fred hosted a fund raiser for Gore in his home. Have you ever heard of that? Why do you think these things are left out of news reports about Phelps?

Fred Phelps is a disbarred attorney who made a living suing institutions. His disbarment followed his disgraceful conduct during a trial alleging a court reporter intentional failed to provide Phelps with a transcript on time. He had the woman on the stand for a full week reducing her to tears with his demands for details about her sex life….

Anything that disproves the media’s artificial view of reality is kept off the air and out of the newspapers.

LOL! The jokes just write themselves.

I point this out all of the time to left-wingers when debating. There is of course also a nice picture of the Phelps with the Gores…. Here ...... They are left-wing. The Phelps family use typical left-wing tactics of shock protesting as well.

Excerpted from Wikipedia:

“Kevin Smith is producing a horror film entitled Red State featuring a religious fundamentalist based on Phelps as a villain.”

Apparently it “should” be called Blue State!

The Phelps or the Democrats? or both?

The Westboro "Baptist" "Church" is nothing more than a liberal front group designed to make Christians look bad.

If they were so opposed to homosexuality, why do we never see them picketing any gay pride events in any major city? As another poster said, you'd think they should have a field office in San Francisco.

DBrow,
While the LaRouche crowd are a bit nutty they haven’t the body count that the Clintons do.

[sanjoaquinvalley]

Because they’d get beat to a pulp and arrested.They prefer to protest nice law abiding people. That said, Fred Phelps may very well be staging an act on behalf of libs. But I do believe that rabid daughter of his, actually believes her own spew.
