Horrible that this would happen to Al Gore’s buddy and fellow democrat.

Pycho-Fred and his psycho-followers have long since had a major falling out with Al Gore

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Phelps

Support for Al Gore
Phelps supported Al Gore in the 1988 Democratic Party primary election. In his 1984 Senate race, Gore opposed a "gay bill of rights" and stated that homosexuality was not something that "society should affirm". Phelps has stated that he supported Gore because of these earlier comments. According to Phelps, members of the Westboro Baptist Church helped run Gore's 1988 campaign in Kansas. Phelps' son, Fred Phelps Jr., hosted a Gore fundraiser, which Al and Tipper Gore attended, at his home in Topeka. Fred Phelps, Jr. served as a Gore delegate to the 1988 Democratic National Convention. Gore spokesman Dag Vega declined to comment; "We are not dignifying those stories with a response." Let me go on record as saying this is probably the only thing I agree with Al Gore and camp on, but then Al Gore mislead the WBC and the WBC mislead the Al Gore campaign, and in the end, they deserve each other.

Opposition to Al Gore and Bill Clinton
During the 1992 presidential campaign, Phelps protested Hillary Clinton during a campaign speech in support of the Clinton-Gore ticket at the University of Kansas on October 14, 1992. In Bill Clinton's second presidential campaign, Phelps and the Westboro church also opposed Clinton and Gore because of the administration's support for gay rights. The entire Westboro congregation picketed a 1997 inaugural ball,denouncing Gore as a "famous fag pimp." In 1998, Westboro picketed the funeral of Gore's father, screaming vulgarities at Gore and telling him, "your dad's in Hell."

Please recognize and understand that these people just hate everybody just for the sake of hating them. They hate Catholics, Jews, other Christians and everybody else that doesn’t believe exactly as they do. And they blame every death and every natural disaster on those that don’t believe just as they do and attribute it to God’s retribution and I find that point of view pretty arrogant.

The WBC members are so vile and so hate filled, they even make the KKK look good by comparison. They are not Liberal or Conservative and they are certainly not Christian as I understand Christianity.
