I hope there’s a special place in Hell reserved for Pastor Fred Phelps, Sr.

My “favorite” story about the Westboro crowd happened a couple of years ago in Mississippi. They planned to picket the funeral of a soldier who had been killed in action in Afghanistan.

The “protesters” arrived in the area the night before and checked into a motel. On the morning of the funeral, a tractor-trailer showed up to make a delivery at the motel, parking behind the vehicle belonging to the Westboro contingent. And wouldn't you know it? The truck wouldn't crank when the delivery was complete. By that hour, the Westboro nuts were preparing to head to the funeral and went ballistic when their car was blocked in. They called the local cab company, but strangely enough, all of their cabs were busy.

Incensed, they called the local sheriff's office, who dispatched a deputy. When he arrived, the deputy informed them that the sheriff needed to see them for questioning. So they got a ride—to the sheriff's office. They were detained until late that afternoon, then released after some perfunctory questions. By that time, the tractor-trailer had been repaired, and the funeral was over. The Westboro crazies were “free to go.”

Thanks! Very informative.

People want a boogey man. These people were obviously fake, but it makes us all feel superior!

An inconvenient truth:

That’s the correct attitude and perspective to have.

DITTO! But let the Guard have a giant banner saying...” Satan Loves Fred Phelps-Enjoy Hell!”

Proof that the Church of Global Warming is an offshoot of Westboro!

Is the media still pretending those are Christians and not left wing astro turf?

I stopped giving a cr@p what the media thinks a long time ago.

On the other hand I do care what God thinks. I pray and hope that this man gets himself right with God before it is to late.

Did Al Gore invent Westboro Baptist Church?

[righttackle44]

I have long suspected they were a lefty ‘troll group’ trying to make Christians look bad. Buncha pukes.

I saw the documentary on Westboro and Phelps. They are not trolls. They are downright contrary and hateful people who are determined to bring on the Kingdom of God so they can help him punish all those they hate.

Phelps himself is a hateful and bitter man who sees himself in absolute control of the members of his cult. He runs a typical typical cult complete with a cultic structure in place, with himself unaccountable to anyone.

I think the man is seriously brain damaged.

While I’m tempted to quote one of the last lines from War Pigs, (Satan laughing spreads his wings) it’s not my call to make.
