Fred Phelps coming back to West Virginia

WVAH FOX 11 NEWS

[Fred Hayek]

Phred Phelps and his lawsuit shakedown cult need to be investigated for extortion. Maybe throw in RICO as well.

[jmc1969]

But, if their bodies all disappear at the bottom of a coal mine will anyone know? Will anyone care?

[Pyro7480]

The same goes for the rest of the crazies at the Westboro Baptist Church. They belong in a mental institution.

You have to feel sorry for them, since most of them are Phelps' family. They are totally dysfunctional or worse because of him.

That is very true.

No we aren't. Fred Phelps was here two weeks ago and wasn't shot. He doesn't rate being recognized.

[muawiyah]

Thus demonstrating the good taste of West Virginians.

************* "Yes, Phelps is a Democrat." Any source for this? It would be great to expose this bag of dirt, but he's definitely identified as "Right Wing." Any attention we could bring to his political persuasion—or political ties—would be a great asset. I tried his web site, but it's too much heinous rubbish to wade through. *************
