Quote:

"Oh I am so thankful that happened. My only regret is that they didn't kill about million of them. England deserves that kind of punishment, as does this country (America)".

The church, which has 150 followers, recently started picketing funerals including those of American soldiers killed in Iraq, waving banners such as "Thank God 9/11", "God Hates Fags" and "Aids Cures Fags".

The Sky Report investigation includes secret filming inside the church's fortified compound during a weekly service in which Fred Phelps also denounced the Roman Catholic Church as the "biggest paedophile organisation in the history of the world".

Phelps made news just last month when the Daily Telegraph reported that the Swedish royal family were consulting lawyers after discovering that he had made outrageous claims about their sexuality on the internet.

I'm glad he doesn't find anything wrong with celebrating other people's deaths. When he dies (I'm predicting stabbed in the groin by a trannie hooker he tries to cheat) I'm going to throw a party. There will be beer, and pizza, and those soft pretzels you heat up in the oven, and a make-your-own sundae buffet. And a marathon of John Waters movies.

Whoa. That sounds pretty cool. Maybe he'll die soon, and I can have it as a Halloween party.

Chris O. · 25th October 2005, 07:27 PM

I hope I'm in Kansas when they have his funeral. Oh yes.

Good idea. Put a picture of his face on a straw-filled dummy, and he could be the scarecrow. Then you could dress up as the witch, and say "How about a little cosmic justice, eh, Scarecrow?" and burn the effigy. Marshmallow toasting to follow.

I think it would be crossing the line into "cutesy" to serve KFC in the paper bucket with construction paper footprints on them.

I reckon there should be a big, noisy picket of his funeral by everyone he has thought obnoxious to date. Which means the whole human race plus most intelligent animals, at last count.

You're wrong. Santa Claus loves him. In a special Santa Claus way. In the grocery store. With vacuum cleaner attachments. We may not recognize that sort of violence as love, but Santa does. And in the end, who are we to judge Santa Clause? He has powers, and that sets him apart.

Rufo · 26th October 2005, 01:58 AM

Well, it does take some talent to make strong ateists and religious fundamentalists agree on that you're an idiot. Unfortunately for Fred, the talent is completely useless unless you have a amazing machine that turns hatred and cynical comments into chicken nuggets.

If this guy and his friends actually turns up in Sweden, we'll have a welcoming committee, trust me.

No, we're going to demand that all his followers understand the feelings of betrayal and frustration that the families, at the funerals they've protested, feel.

I've mentioned this before, but....

My son, Chris, was coming home from rugby practice one day, and the Phelpsies were out in force in Ellensburg, WA. One of them jumped in front of his car, waving a "GOD HATES FAGS" sign in front of him.

Chris gunned the engine. The Phelpsies split.

I don't recall the actual incident, but I believe it was during a serviceman's funeral. And my oldest son, James, was in the Gulf at the time.

I'm personally not going to waste my time protesting. I'm going to bring a tank truck filled with urine and manure, and I'm going to hook up a trash pump to the outlet. From there, I'm going to spray the church, it's parking lot, and the Phelpsies with that sludge, because that's exactly what Fred Phelps and his band of hateful cowards have been doing to military families and gays for years.

If, for any reason, I can't be there to witness, please, oh please, have video - from several angles if possible.

The day ole' snarly Phelps dies, I will be having the biggest celebration since one of my friend's birthdays involved male strippers and $1000 bottles of wine and champaign and, of course, an orgy afterwards. You must have an orgy as a proper send off for the b^st^rd!

I really wish I hadn't read that.

It made me wonder why his wife didn't murder him years ago. It would have been so easy to smother him during the aftermath of one of his binges. And the world be a better place if she had.

ysabella · 28th October 2005, 11:05 AM

Why does this guy get so much press? He's just a pathetic nutjob, although a very harmful one.

I know a sort of blended polyamorous family in Kansas, and I like to think they cancel him out to some extent.

I think there wil lbe a long line of people waiting to able to p.... on his grave - I recall a few peolpe anouncing they were looking forward to this.

I do think I could come up with nastier ideas still, though ...

Rasmus.

kuroyume0161 · 28th October 2005, 11:20 PM

Thing is, you don't want to come off nastier and slimier than Fred Phelps - which, as it may be, would be very difficult to accomplish. The retribution should be dignified but make the point clear. On the other hand, making every person at his funeral painfully feel what he has imparted to so many others would at least fulfill the second criteria.

I'm thinking that absconding his body and tying it to a fence in a pasture for the scavengers to pick at would be poetic justice without vigilantism (that is as compared to doing it while he's still wheezing..er..breathing).

I have absolutely no idea how one could out-do him, really.

Quote:

I guess there would be enough dignitiy even if his own funeral should be picketed.

I seem to recall that some time ago he was used as the subject of a charity fund raiser, where people promised to donate a certain amount of money for evevery hour or day or something that he would be out to picket some event.

Would it stil lbe dignified to donate a dollar, or jsut a few cents even, for every day that he stays alive and to make sure those funds go to a cause that he loathes?

Sorry. I think of Matthew Shepherd, crucified on a barbed wire fence for nothing more than doing what any other kid would be doing on a Saturday night, and I'm reminded of what that f***head Phelps said about God being happy that Shepherd is dead.

I'd rather see him end his life as Buzzard Chow. Sorry.

I don't recall the actual incident, but I believe it was during a serviceman's funeral. And my oldest son, James, was in the Gulf at the time. I'm personally not going to waste my time protesting. I'm going to bring a tank truck filled with urine and manure, and I'm going to hook up a trash pump to the outlet. From there, I'm going to spray the church, it's parking lot, and the Phelpsies with that sludge, because that's exactly what Fred Phelps and his band of hateful cowards have been doing to military families and gays for years.

If, for any reason, I can't be there to witness, please, oh please, have video - from several angles if possible. The day ole' snarly Phelps dies, I will be having the biggest celebration since one of my friend's birthdays involved male strippers and $1000 bottles of wine and champaign and, of course, an orgy afterwards. You must have an orgy as a proper send off for the b^st^rd!

It made me wonder why his wife didn't murder him years ago. It would have been so easy to smother him during the aftermath of one of his binges. And the world be a better place if she had.

No argument there. He's a vile waste of flesh.
