I think Phelps really was an atheist, who used his Church to give Christians and anti-sodomites a black eye....and the media cooperated with him in this farce. I think that, too. Many liberals try to pretend they are a member of a group that they want to discredit.
Phelps will not be missed.

That is my belief, as well.
An agent provocateur, at best.

I bet Phelps in real life liked Boy George.

The funniest thing about Phelps and Company.....You never saw them protesting at Gay Pride marches.

His legacy of picketing funerals of military veterans and disaster victims, promoting coarse language to condemn conduct he viewed as amoral, and waging legal battles that protected his actions under the First Amendment,......earned him an international reputation of a mans whose absolute conviction was never swayed in the face of widespread contempt.
I disagree with this. This would mean that he was at least respected for sticking to his guns.
I have seen no evidence whatsoever that this group of people led by Phelps, was viewed by anyone with anything other than extreme contempt. He wasn't respected on any level whatsoever.
Whatever sound message he may have at one time had, it preceded him in death decades earlier.

That’s a very good question.
Probably from apparatchiks behind the scenes who supported his actions against Christianity.

arguably the most obnoxious and rabid hate group in America.
No, the Democrat Party still holds that title.

Known by the company they keep.

That’s the only question that need be asked. If journalism still existed, the Phelps farce would have been dead and buried a long time ago.

Fred was a lifelong member of the party, so Westboro could be considered a subsidiary.
