Phelp's and his family form a small cult. Not surprisingly, they document all threats, insults, etc. they receive while protesting, and attempt to press charges against people that stand up to them.
If I lived in the area, I would be happy to join a mob that descended on Phelps and his supporters and beat the cr*p out of him.
Someone needs to give Fred Phillips a tuneup.
Phred Phelps have resepect for someone other than himself? Hell will freeze over first.
This man displays amazingly loose associations. Usually a sign of some level of Schizophrenia.
But someone, please beat his a** anyway.
Phelps may be suprised where his soul ends up.
Phelps and his ilk so thoroughly betray the ethic of Jesus of Nazareth that I am at a loss --- I can't quite wrap my head around such hatred and perversion.
I can't muster hatred for Phelps, only a genuine pity at someone so consumed by darkness and hate that they have feel compelled to act out their psychosis and evil on others.
Mercy triumphs over judgment. St. James
I just can't bring myself to ping the GRPLs.
Westboro Baptist either has protested or is planning protests of other public funerals of soldiers from Michigan, Alabama, Minnesota, Virginia and Colorado. A protest is planned for July 11 at Dover Air Force Base, the military base where war dead are transported before being sent on to their home states.Phelps gained national notoriety in 1998 when he picketed the funeral of Matthew Shepard, the gay college student beaten to death in Wyoming.
Since then, Phelps said his church has been the target of hateful words and actions, including a bomb attack six years ago.
What a sick man.
As the Bible says, there is a time for everything under heaven. Even if he feels that God is punishing American by allowing our soldiers die in Iraq, he has no business picketing a funeral.
A flier on the Web site of Pastor Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church claims God killed Cpl. Carrie French with an improvised explosive device in retaliation against the United States for a bombing at Phelps' church six years ago.
"We're coming," Phelps said yesterday.
Phelps is a nutjob and makes the rest of us who oppose the homosexual agenda look bad. I sometimes wonder if he is a plant, not the real deal. Plus he does miss the point of where God loves the sinner and hates the sin.
He is a lunatic! He sounds like a good companion to Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Barry Lynn who also call themselves "pastors".

Fred Phelps (born November 13, 1929) is the controversial leader of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, United States, which is notorious for its web sites godhatesfags.com and godhatesamerica.com. Gay rights activists, as well both mainstream and fundamentalist Christians, have denounced him as a producer of anti-gay propaganda and violence-inspiring hate speech. The church is located in the basement of his home, which is the center of a block-wide fenced compound, the other houses in which are occupied by nine of his thirteen children.
Kansas Preacher Announces Plans To Protest Idaho Soldier's Funeral

(BOISE - AP) -
The Kansas preacher who tried to erect an anti-gay monument in a Boise city park says he's coming to Idaho this week to picket the funeral of a fallen soldier.
Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, says God killed Idaho National Guard Corporal Carrie French with an improvised explosive device. Phelps says God is retaliating against America for a bombing of his church six years ago.
French was a 19-year-old Caldwell High School graduate and varsity cheerleader. She was killed June 5 in Iraq's northern city of Kirkuk by an improvised explosive device.
French served as an ammunition specialist with the 116th Brigade Combat Team's 145th Support Battalion.
Phelps says there is no reason he is targeting French specifically. He says his church will protest any public funeral of soldiers killed in Iraq.
Caldwell Police Chief Bob Sobba said he can't bar Phelps from going to the public funeral. It's scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at the Albertson College of Idaho.
I just wonder how long it will be before he accidentally finds an explosive device??
The only reason he is still alive today is because most folks subscribe to the theory that "most folks that need killin ain't worth the time you would have to do for killin 'em".
