There is nothing positive about this groups agenda. The thought that anyone would take advantage of other peoples personal tragedies to score political points is not only extremely bad taste, but I believe, criminally insane. With that said, our freedoms are only as deep as those accorded the least deserving of those freedoms. I pulled this quote off RENSE’s site;

“If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for
people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.”
-Noam Chomsky

I agree with you 100%. Just because the expression of an opinion comes from an ignoramus does not mean that the opinion is any less protected. That’s what’s so beautiful about free speech - they have the right to spout their side, and I have the right to counteract them just as loudly.

Thanks for the link, I guess. What raving nutters. In fact, beyond raving nutters into full psychopath territory.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we had the option of picketing a mass funeral of the Phelps family.

Gays must be the most powerful group in history.

They're as powerful as Bush who can control the weather.

I sure hope people don’t think all Christains are like those horrible people.

They don't unless they are just looking for a reason to hate Christians.

Um, forgive me if I missed something but what the hey is Phelps protesting ABOUT? These people have got to be the biggest weirdos in the U.S. (excluding Britney, Paris, et al).

Phelps’s family should’ve had him committed 40 years ago.

Can’t the Baptist doing something about removing the name from this group (Westboro Baptist Church)WBC or sue them?

No. There is no copyright on the term “Baptist”. Anyone can use it.

How would you tell a snake from a Phelps?

You might get emotionally attached to the snake, which would make it hard to shoot it.

Don’t worry, no one will be protesting when these “church” biggots are placed into the ground, in fact, I suspect a few folks will relieve themselves on their bones.

Fred Phelps is a 'Dana Carvey' Christian. He is more of a liberals idea of what a conservative Christian should be than an actual conservative Christian.

I have been fighting WBC for sometime on the internet, and I recommend if you want to understand the Phelps, you need to fully understand the sadism of the old man.

Two devastating exposes about the Phelps are: LOVING GOD’S HATE and ADDICTED TO HATE. Loving God’s Hate is an expose by the Topeka Capitol-Journal, and has been on thier website for years. Addicted to Hate is a similar, but not identical expose that was incorporated into trial transcripts.

Now, for some items Phelps doesn’t want you to know. According to several of his estranged children, Phelps severely and frequently abused his children physically and mentally; Phelps was disbarred by both the Kansas Supreme Court and the Federal Courts for repeatedly violating ethics standards; Phelps was sued by several businesses who he owed large sums of money. One candy vendor was owed more than $5,000 for products delivered. The report further states the Phelps children were forced to sell the candy door-to- door until late into the evening and in bad weather. The pressure to produce money was so intense, some of the children were forced to steal to avoid being punished.

Several of the Phelps children are attorneys, but Phelps has never sued for libel. I wonder why?

Google Addicted to Hate and Loving God’s Hate to read what Phelps doesn’t want you to know about him.

As you are reading, keep in mind Phelps has never sued for libel!
