TOPEKA, KS – On the same day that Fred Phelps’ body was found rotting in a chair in his upstairs office, members of the controversial Westboro Baptist Church announced that they would be picketing his upcoming funeral.
Phelps, born November 13, 1929, was the leader of the church — an organization that practices a strange, anti-homosexual version of Christianity that has been known to protest at celebrity and military funerals.
The pastor’s daughter, Shirley Phelps-Roper, was the first to discover the 83-year-old’s body.
“We haven’t brought dad out to very many protests for a few years now,” said Phelps-Roper. “In fact, it’s been quite a while since even we had seen him. Once he starts on a marathon of old Growing Pains episodes, we just leave him alone until he comes down.”
“He always loved Kirk Cameron,” she added.

Wonder if we’ll see a bunch of homos at his funeral carrying “God Hates Phelps” signs...
Heh!
Can’t wait to take a bodacious Obama on that dork’s grave.
I think Fred maybe too preoccupied to even worry about a protest!
Hell can be a busy place!
WTH is that supposed to mean? Every other Christian is PRO homo?
At first I thought this was real.
It is funny
LOL you can’t make this stuff up..when I heard this cockroach died this morning it was poetic justice, good riddance
Live by the "God Hates" sign, die by the "God Hates" sign.
Heck, Phelps was the best thing that ever happened to the faggots.
Fred Phelps was a liberal civil rights attorney in Kansas during the 60s and 70s and a lifelong Democrat.
Given how he was made the made the media face of opposition to the homosexual agenda, and his personal background, I can’t help but think that he was in the pay of the left all along.
Yep, that's what I've always thought.
Wouldn’t be shocked if he was light in the loafers, himself.
“We haven’t brought dad out to very many protests for a few years now,” said Phelps-Roper. “In fact, it’s been quite a while since even we had seen him. Once he starts on a marathon of old Growing Pains episodes, we just leave him alone until he comes down.”
“He always loved Kirk Cameron,” she added.”
Is this satire?

Now that would be funny. A bunch of drag queens at this dirt bag’s funeral flipping him off would be must see TV.
This is fake
He would have wanted it that. Now, nobody else should show up, because we want it that way.
Except he’s not having a funeral....

Perfectly calibrated shot at Christians.
Doesn't work. We figured out their act years ago.
From the Administration Press story on Phelps:
“Despite his avowedly conservative views on social issues, and the early stirrings of the clout Christian evangelicals would enjoy within the Kansas Republican Party, Phelps ran as a Democrat during his brief dabble with politics. He finished a distant third in the 1990 gubernatorial primary, and later ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate and Topeka mayor.”
Phelps ran as a Democrat three times for governor of Kansas and served as Al Gore’s Kansas campaign manager. Yet Administration Press uses the words “conservative”, “evangelicals” and “Republican” before getting around to disclosing Phelps’ true political leanings.
What a disgrace.
