This was in the student newspaper here http://www.cavalierdaily.com/CVArticle.asp?ID=30268&pid=1585 and I couldn't believe it...ok, unfortunately with Fred Phelps I can believe it. I cannot say how strongly I and most everyone else, except for his family, disagree with him and are completely horrified by what he says. The facebook group mentioned in the article is apparently posting when the protests are so counter protests can take place.

    meh, Fred Phelps is gay and he's self loathing. He needs the attention. Don't give it to him.

    If the guy didn't get press they wouldn't do it. They are absolute lunatics it's really not worth any attention.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    while I agree, I think this is a great opportunity for everyone to show the support for the families...maybe someone could hit the man with a brick too????

    i was just thinking if anyone feels like copycatting cho, this would be the perfect time to do it. that church is about 30 members... i wouldn't shed one tear if the same fate that brought them there befell them.
  • Wow...just when you think you've seen it all in bad taste, something like this comes along.

    no jury would convict them if they did it.

    he'll sue. He makes his living off suing people who hit him. The best thing to do is just to ignore him and try to support the families while ignoring Phelps lunacy.

    He's a sad little man leading a sad group of people.

    yes it's pathetic and sad, and it makes everyone angry but honestly...that's why he does it. This is how he gets his jollys.

    if the whole family is dead, nobody can sue on their behalf.

    Fred,, Shirley and their in-bred circus of retards always find a way to make themselves look even more braindead, than the last time they opened their mouths.

    It's jerk-offs like these that people and the media should get all worked up about,. Not some shitty, uncreative, lame shock-jock/entertainer like Imus.

    Am I missing something here? Were some of the people killed gay? Or is Phelps just doing this for shits and giggles?

    shits and giggles, well kinda
    this is from the article:
    Phelps-Roper placed the blame for the Tech killings on tolerance for homosexuality, saying the attack was a result of "those young people sitting in their classrooms being taught rebellion against God [and] being taught that God is a liar ... He says 'Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind,' and you're teaching it. That's a lie: It's OK to be gay."



    this guy doesn't make sense to me, but i don't thinkhe makes sense to most people.

    ha ha, true. I'm just warning people that this is the crap this loser does....

    now if GOD were to personally "Smite" them in the same way....now that would be effective.

    I just don't want anyone to suffer any further personal damage at the hands of that group of supreme assholes.

    I'm agnostic. Maybe all I need is a sign from above. If god were to smite the entire congregation today it would certainly help convince me.

    Thanks. I read the original post but I didn't know if anybody who was killed was gay. Seems like a strange thing to do. Even if somebody was to have been gay.

    this guy has been doing this schtick for years. he stirred quite a bit of controversy back in the day for protesting outside military funerals for those killed in iraq. said they deserved it for fighting for a country that is tolerant of homosexuality.

    Is this guy Phelps insane? why would he do this? why does he do this at the funerals of our troops?
    This situation could get ugly and possibly result in more bloodshed. I hope it dosen't.

    He must be insane; i mean when jerry falwell calls you a first class nut there must be something wrong. The man is absolutely wrong. I think the only people who really agree with him are the members of his "church" (i use that term very loosely...maybe cult would be better).

    Aren't a lot of the cult-members family? Everytime that I see one of them on TV they are some relation to Fred... In-breading and brainwashing at it's best, I guess...

    i believe all of them are family. Wiki mentioned something about them not being able to marry outside of church members...talk about a family tree that has no branches.

    sorry, guys. I tried to kill him about 10 yrs. ago, but he had armed guards :(

    A reporter for the Topeka Capitol Journal wrote a book about him many years ago.

    Basically, he's a child-molester, and a meth head to boot.

    My high school friends and I were within about six inches of getting it done.


    My HS government teacher actually knew him from back in the old days. Apparently, he was a pretty nice guy in high school.

    I suppose we should be grateful to them for not polluting the rest of the gene pool.

    Westboro Baptist Church. You know "God Hates Fags" "God Hates America" "God killed our Soldiers"

    They are extremist fundamental christians that picket just about everywhere, singing songs about how homosexuality is immoral and God kills Americans to punish America.
