Fred Phelps and his merry band of misanthropes at Westboro Baptist Church plan to picket the funerals of those killed in the Virginia Tech shootings, according to a message on their website:
"WBC will preach at the funerals of the Virginia Tech students killed on campus during a shooting rampage April 16, 2007. You describe this as monumental horror, but you know nothing of horror -- yet. Your bloody tyrant Bush says he is 'horrified' by it all. You know nothing of horror -- yet. Your true horror is coming. 'They shall also gird themselves with sackloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads' (Eze. 7:18).
Why did this happen, you ask? It's simple. Your military chose to shoot at the servants of God today, and all they got for their effort was terror. Then, the LORD your God sent a crazed madman to shoot at your children. Was God asleep while this took place? Was He on vacation? Of course not. He willed this to happen to punish you for assailing His servants."
“Must have taken a break from having sex with his ugly daughters.”
Hey, it is an alternative lifestyle soon to be promoted by hollywood and organized parades.
Gotcha! ;)
His antics gain sympathy for queers and hatred for Christians.
Fred Phelps, Democrat.
I didn't mean you personally. I just meant that someone should try to get this info out there because you know that it is going to be spun as "the ultra right-wing church blah blah blah"
Gotcha! ;)
Which is, I think, his real purpose.
Local Virginians and their friends will have to pick up the slack in this particular instance.
It appears all garbage did not go with the trash collectors this morning. I have a feeling these weirdos have chosen the wrong destination this time and are messing with the wrong people.
Do you suppose the MSM will be interviewing them?
I’m wondering why all the gay and lesbian groups don’t protest against this fool. Where are they?
Or better yet, I hope there is a local radio talk show host that will invite Phelps and company for an interview with the condition of giving up the protesting.
That was well over a decade ago, when I still read the Tribune. There was a microscopic story about page 8 of the second section that told me what had happened the day before. This was long before the war and any demonstrations at military funerals.
I guess we will have to SUE them into bankruptcy!
If I remember correctly, I read somewhere that Mr. Phelps and some members of his cult flew to Iraq to meet with Saddam to give him their support for his stance against the United States. Of course Saddam had no idea who they were, but through the efforts of one of his p.r. advisors, he met with them, apparently to thank them for their support. The tidbit below was taken from Wikipedia’s entry for Fred Phelps. The link is:

Saddam Hussein
In 2003, before the fall of Saddam Hussein during the Iraq War, Phelps wrote Hussein a letter praising his regime for being, in his opinion, “the only Muslim state that allows the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to be freely and openly preached on the streets.”[40] Furthermore, he stated that he would like to send a delegation to Baghdad to “preach the Gospel” for one week. Hussein granted permission, and a group of WBC congregants traveled to Iraq to protest against the U.S. The WBC members stood on the streets of Baghdad holding signs condemning Bill and Hillary Clinton and anal sex.[41] After Saddam was hanged, Phelps released a video commentary that stated that both Saddam Hussein and Gerald Ford (who had died the same week) were now in Hell.
If this turd and his inbred cult show up at any of the funerals for the VT victims, I hope that law enforcement turns a very blind eye from them and allows a little bit of vigilante justice to be performed ... I think that it is the only way that this group is going to get the message that they are not to be seen nor heard from ever again.
P.S. Pray for the victims, their families, and everyone affected by this tragedy.
Peace out,

Oh, by the way, I found another small sampling of the vileness that Mr. Phelps and his cult like to spew ... it can be found via the Anti Defamation League’s website at the following link:

They seem to have a more complete transcript of the pro-Saddam support promulgated by the Phelps clan. He it is in its entirety:
“We understand that Iraq is the only Muslim state that allows the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to be freely and openly preached on the streets without fear of arrest and prosecution. Alas, the United States no longer allows the Gospel to be freely and openly preached on the streets, because militant sodomites now control our government, and they violently object to the Bible message...The same majoritarian sodomite tyranny that now guides the Clinton administration’s repressive policies toward Gospel preaching on America’s streets, is apparently responsible — at least in part — for the merciless slaughter by starvation of 400 innocent Iraqi babies each day in your country. If our government and laws will allow it, and at the invitation of your government, we would like to send a delegation from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, to preach the Gospel on the streets of Baghdad for one week in the near future.”

Take care everyone,

I know Sean Hannity interviewed the crazy daughter when the Amish school shootings happened, although they failed to protest those because someone in Ohio gave them an hour of airtime on their radio show.
I think they’re mainly attention seekers, and the more people ignore them, the more they’ll go away. But do they seem to protest all funerals these days, use to be as I understand it funerals of gay people and would protest outside of gay-related churches. Guess they wanted more attention.
It was only a matter of time the wackos came out from under the wood bench. I figured the hate America, hate Bushers would come out form under the rocks. W here is it going to help their cause if they look like fools which we all know they are? Why doesn’t their leader Geogre Soros and their half wit Moore come out from the woods and join in?
