It is a curious question what was going on behind the scenes there. The Westburros never showed up to sound their displeasure at any “gay pride” event. They poured out their vitriol at events that were probably the least likely of any to have sympathy for the “gay movement.” They were grand distractions, colossal nuisances.

They are the perfect straw men, representing, in the minds of of the Left, the religious Right.

It's as if Hannibal Lector were available to represent, in the media and pop culture, epicureans.

Aiding “gay rights”, yes,

but more directly, demonizing any reasonable opposition to the anti-Christian gay agenda.

Why, it’s almost as if the whole WBC thing might be a false-flag operation to make actual fundamentalist Christians look like total nut jobs, or something.

In other news, I am shocked, SHOCKED, to find gambling going on in this establishment.

False flag group set up by leftist elitists in Liberalandia to make us in flyover country look bad.

Phelps’ hate seen by some as aiding gay rights

Some? You've got to be a complete moron not to see otherwise.

[ArcadeQuarters]

He was a Democrat and no real church wanted to associate with him, yet the media will continue to present him as an example of the “Christian Right.”

What Phelps did with his confrontations was to prove to the non Christian world just how evil Christians are. Spewing hate and filth that has nothing to do with the Bible or Christianity. I believe this guy was probably a closet gay and hated the Christian church. I almost feel sorry for the really stupid supposed Christian that are following him to hell. Christians are warned to watch out for teachers of false doctrine and these protests and what they were doing to the families is a perfect example. These supposed Christians that participated in this have only themselves to blame for where they end up.
