Is Fred Phelps a Democrat?
Yes. Fred Phelps is a lifelong Democrat who ran for Governor of Kansas three times…in 1990, 1994, and 1998. Fred Phelps ran as a Democrat. Fred Phelps is a Democrat who strongly supported Al Gore for years, briefly broke away from Gore during the Clinton years because Phelps hates both Bill and Hillary Clinton with a passion (because of Bill’s infidelities), but has seemingly reconciled with Gore and loves him again. Phelps’ son is also a big Al Gore supporter and was a Gore delegate in 1988 to the Democrat Convention.
(2) Is Westboro Baptist a Democrat organization?
Yes. Westboro Baptist is a Democrat organization that exists as a hate-group run by Democrat Fred Phelps, the former Democrat contender for Governor of Kansas in 1990, 1994, and 1998. Phelps and Westboro Baptist hate the United States Military and engage in picketing military funerals. They also hate gays, which is consistent with the Democrat Party’s general feeling towards the gay community — if people are sharp enough to cut through the PC propaganda and take a hard look on how Democrats in general really see gays. Gay men, in particular, are what’s known as a gAyTM…a gay ATM that pumps out cash whenever Democrats need it. Democrats then do nothing for gays…except keep constant vigil for any signs of gay men stepping off the reservation and starting to vote in their economic best interests. At which point the Democrat Party powers up the Alinsky Methods death star to personally destroy any gays who dare defy them.
Respected gay activists such as Cleave Jones — Harvey Milk’s lieutenant in 1970s San Francisco — speak out on this issue all the time, that Democrats use gays for a funding source but have great contempt for them and are, in fact, more hateful toward gays than conservatives because the image of the gay-hating conservative is actually conjured by the Left as a boogeyman in the gay community, using Democrats like Fred Phelps and his Democrat hate-group Westboro Baptist to provide the caricature the Left wants to imprint on conservatism. It is all straight out of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, and it unfortunately works like gangbusters because the gay community’s self-appointed “leaders” march lockstep with whatever the DNC says, targeting any gays who dare step off the reservation Democrats want them kept on. The Left deliberately misleads the public into believing Westboro Baptist (and, really, any organization that even remotely reads as “religious” and tangentially related to Christianity) is a Republican group so that it can keep a wedge in place between gays and conservatism…lest gays, especially gay men, wake up and start voting conservative in their own economic best interests. This is all part of the elaborate and Byzantine mechanism Democrats have in place to retain power and maintain their hold over the gay identity voter bloc that’s the heart of the Democrats’ fundraising operation.
I read this when the Safeway massacre occurred and was shocked. I forgot about it until I read something about him today - thought I’d post this for others who didn’t know either.
You didn’t know either? Perhaps it’s not as well-known as perhaps I thought...let’s get it out there... :)

And they’re just about as “Christian” as Anton LaVey.
Red herrings, every one of ‘em.
No I don’t think I did... I just pinged my biggest list here. Thanks for this thread!
Wow... more interesting stuff on Phelps.
“the image of the gay-hating conservative is actually conjured by the Left as a boogeyman in the gay community”
Can we be objective for a moment and consider this: when we social conservatives so often speak out against the gay lifestyle, gay marriage, etc., isn’t it understandable why the left’s tactics and characterization of us works in the gay community? Words have power and gays are uber-sensitive to begin with. So it’s understandable why they’re so easily convinced by the left that conservatives “hate gays”. Not true, of course, but understandable.
Just sayin’.
You're not "just sayin'" You're "excusin'."
So what if gays are "uber-sensitive" as you say. Phelps political mission and intent is to caricturize what is legitimate conservative opposition to gays and wrap it into despicable phony "anti-war" displays at funerals of America's heroes.
Instead of excusing wimps, why don't you focus on the topic at hand which is the fact that Phelps' roots were never in anything having to do with God or Christiainty at all, but in the Democrat party with an intent to loudly mis-represent conservative opposition with headline-grabbing absurdities.
Every action of Phelps reveals that he is a left-wing nutcase. No person steeped in Conservative values would harm people by disrupting the funeral of their loved one with their bizarre protests. I’ve long suspected that Phelps only calls his organization a “church” as a form of anti-Christian propaganda (guilt by association).
If so, more of an off-the-rails extreme hyper-Calvinist. He had kids at the RNC Convention in St. Paul singing “God Damn America” to the tune of “God Bless America”. Reminded me of where Jesus said something about those who lead children astray - better a millstone hung around one’s neck and thrown into the sea. He is as heretical as Harold Camping.

Is Fred Phelps a Democrat? (Yes - supported Al Gore)Who'da thunk it?
Good buddies.
Makes perfect sense. Nice pic.

I was merely pointing out a fact as to why we get mischaracterized. I don’t approve of the gay lifestyle or gay marriage in the least, and was elated to get the info about Phelps and his nut jobs being Democrat. I made a point of relaying this to many libs I know and plan to keep doing so.
