[The Phantom FReeper]

This is the crazy cult led by Rev. Fred Phelps, of "godhatesfags.com" fame. He takes his little church, comprised mostly of his family members, to soldiers' funerals in several states. According to this bunch, our casualties in the WOT are some sort of retribution from God for our acceptance of homosexuals. Yeah, I know it makes no sense.

Lots of folks like to point to the Phelps family as examples of right-wingers gone bad, but the reality is that they are Democrats. There's a couple of pictures floating around FR of Rev. Phelps with Al Gore. And some other FReeper dug up the records of campaign donations by members of the Phelps family, and they were to Democrats.

Don't forget they are first class scammers (lawyers) and hope to have an "incident" which will allow them to sue the city, county, township (whatever) for failure to protect them -- they have pulled this before - search past threads for specifics.

Take a deep breath, they rarely get anywhere close & they are in it for the $..A descriptive to use for these moonbats on FR escapes me - most start with F or A

Thank you for posting this. I have seen many people even on here mistake Phelps for being a social or religious conservative. It isn't so. The guy even offered to conduct outreach for Howard Dean.

So is this Fringomania group worth a Freep?

I like to pick my battles wisely.
