Fred Phelps Goes Down Under
Townhall ^ | Wednesday, January 30, 2008 | By Mike S. Adams

Posted on 01/30/2008 11:09:19 AM PST by HuntsvilleTxVeteran

Fred Phelps, the pastor and head lunatic of Westboro
Baptist Church (WBC) of Topeka, Kansas (call 785-273-0325
or visit godhatesfags.com) has written an open letter
to the family of Heath Ledger.
In the short letter is a demand that the Ledger family
divulge the time, date, and place of the late actor’s
burial in Perth, Australia,
so WBC can go - in respectful proximity - and conduct a
“religious service.”

Fred Phelps has already caused untold suffering and pain
to the families of dead American soldiers by
protesting their funerals with signs proclaiming
that “God Hates America” because “Gad Hates Fags”
and America tolerates them.
He even proclaims on his website that Americans should celebrate
Improvised Explosive Devices as a gift from a God
who is punishing the soldiers by blowing them up –
again, for America’s crime of tolerating homosexuality.

This image provided by Focus Features shows actor Heath
Ledger portraying the character Ennis Del Mar
in the movie "Brokeback Mountain."
Ledger, the talented 28-year-old actor who gravitated
toward dark, brooding roles that defied his leading-man
looks, was found dead Tuesday in a Manhattan apartment.
Phelps says that Heath Ledger would want the Westboro Ledger
clan (or perhaps, Klan) to appear at his funeral

Maybe we can book a charter flight for him on a remotely piloted Lear...and ditch it in the Pacific.

This is beyond ludicrous. It’s absolutely insane and totally beyond civilized behavior......

I can think of a few places I’d tell Phelps to go. Perhaps the funeral will be held somewhere WAY deep in the Outback.

The Australians are nuts to let this guy and his loopy, dangerously inbred group of followers into their country. But yes, it would be nice if we could refuse to allow them back into ours.

I saw a brief report about this on an entertainment tabloid TV show the other day and they called them a “French protest group” - I knew for sure from the rest of the description that it was the WBC Phelps group, so had to laugh and “hope” that France really is taking the blame for them!

Does anyone know where this whackjob gets his money? Is it all from the nuts that attend his ‘church’?

HA! That’s an interesting question. I don’t think anyone would WANT that endorsement.

But in keeping with the antics of the Westboro Baptist Church folks.
