He's like botulism, a poison. We think he's a product of inline breeding, where your family tree is a knife, no forks allowed. Oneof the many reasons we like to refer to Kansas as 'Sasnak' honoring our backwards heritage..... For years Fred was just a local embarassment, now he has gone noationwide, next he’ll be global.

All of it is made up, and just because fred phelps is an asshole with an imagination, doesn't excuse the others that make up nonsense and indoctrinate the young. The Friends lean toward the ideal and do not cause problems. They are in the .01% range. How can a world gain a civilization with religion? They contradict one another so completely.

Every one of the kids faces is covered and the last one looks like he's being led by the arm. I wonder if a case could be brought for child endangerment.

They essentially goad people into reacting to them and then they sue. They are hyper litigious and they get people to settle out of court. They are shakedown artists of the highest order. They are as offensive as they can be to intentionally get people to react with physical violence. Then they sue. Bravo to the lads of Alpha Delta Phi for their excellent rebuff of Phelps’ shithead posse. It definitely makes the list of top 10 best responses to his brand of imbecilic bigotry. I can proudly say that Phelps and his inbred pack of moron bastards picketed my church a couple of years ago. We totally ignored them. It was but a couple of the very least committed of his tribe and they didn’t stay long. I guess they got bored. I’ve been somewhat curious about Phelps. At least one of his signs has included stick figures depicting what appears to be two men engaged in a rousing bout of anal sex. Someone had to spend quite a bit of time working out the logistics of the act and the logistics of graphically depicting the act. The amount of time needed to contemplate all of that seemed way too long for someone who ostensibly is opposed to homosexuality. Methinks maybe Fred doth protest too much? Trying to hide a case of self loathing? All of Phelps’ adult offspring are either lawyers or married to lawyers. They essentially goad people into reacting to them and then they sue.

It's just been a long time that I, my friends and loved ones, have been a target of crap like this. O well! I have weary days and then again I have fabulous days. So there it is. Frankly, I’m weary.

Sometimes it seems change for one subset of victims comes only when bigots find easier targets. Your video game analogy is apt.

Because I can only go to “why?”

It’s so toddler-esque; Must YOU be the boss of me?
