Minister of Hate (Fred Phelps) to "Hunt Down" Swedish King

Minister of hate to "hunt down" Swedish king

The fanatical American Baptist minister, Fred Phelps, is on his way to Sweden.
"We'll hunt down your king," he said ominously to Expressen. "It doesn't make any difference where he tries to hide."

Phelps' hatred of the royal family and all things Swedish is linked directly to his equally virulent hatred of homosexuals. He praises homophobic crimes, including murder. When controversial Swedish minister, Åke Green, was convicted of inciting hatred of homosexuals following an anti-gay sermon, Phelps saw red and turned his attention to Sweden.

"You're doomed to spend eternity in hell," he continued. "All you Swedes and your Swedish king and his family."

The minister and twenty members of his congregation from the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, are planning to come to Sweden at the beginning of September. They are bringing plenty of placards in order to spread their message that Sweden is the cradle of all evil and that the king rules a nation of sodomites.

Phelps claims that Sweden deserved to suffer in the new year tsunami catastrophe in southern Asia and has designed a monument to 'celebrate' the deaths of over 500 Swedes in Thailand.

1. Another radical cleric threatens a foreign head of state.

I'm sure Jesus is just delighted...

[saigon68]

59. HERE'S FRED ON SEVERAL "CRUSADES"

NOTE THE CHILDREN TO WHOM HE IS TEACHING FAMILY VALUES

[Dulcinea]

63. Maybe God hates Fred Phelps.

And his posse of fruitloops.

But I don't think God hates anyone.

[Logician]

64. The man and his offspring clearly have the 'crazy' gene

The effect of too much inbreeding.

They should all be locked up or sterilized to prevent more intra-family breeding.

Their comments are just too bizarre-- I question whether a person with even a shred of sanity could come up with such stuff.

Either the crazy gene, or a brain infection-- tertiary syphilis comes to mind!

[pokercat999]

72. Maybe Fred

just hates his own supressed desires.?.

[hatrack]

76. Yeah, I mean anybody who hates gays that much . . .

you know what I'm alluding to here!

[Dulcinea]

92. I've thought that for a long time.

Anyone that obsessed with the private lives of others is probably a closet case who can't face it.

[KitSileya]

94. Or perhaps he's attacking a minority to hide his pervert nature.

Sort of like offense is the best defence? He's attacking a normal, albeit minority segment of the population to draw attention away from his own perverted nature - tarring his enemies with his own brush?

[President Kerry]

132. He obviously does, as he forgot to impart Phelps with a brain.. oops n/t

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

105. Besides being an evil little turd...

His biblical scholarship is more than a little suspect. II Peter 2:12 is not in the least about homosexuality (even though a previous verse mentions Sodom and Gomorrah in passing, and I don't intend to explain that Sodom & Gomorrah aren't about homosexuality, either). And the verse from Romans 9:13 ("Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated") has even less to do with homosexuality. Did this guy get ordained at Chuck E. Cheese?

[regnaD kciN]

135. I've dealt with members of the Branch Fredphelpsians before...

Let's just say that Fred Phelps is no ordinary fundamentalist minister, not even of the "religious right" variety. Rather, he's a psychopath who has created a god in his own image.

If you have a strong enough stomach, a feature story on him and his family/abuse victims can be found here.

If not, here's a summary from another site:

On Phelps:
He's a lunatic, a sadist, a wife/child beater, and all-around not-so-nice kind of guy. Jon Michael Bell, a Kansas journalist (where, in Topeka, Phelps and his family maintain their "compound"... note: be wary of anyone who lives in a "compound") did an expose on Phelps that almost didn't get published. It took a lawsuit by Bell, against his employer, to get the story inserted into the public record. For those interested, it can be accessed here (http://www.godhatesfundies.com/misc/ath/).

In it, Bell documents the abuse Phelps inflicted upon his thirteen children, whom he publicly beat as early as ten months old, and continued to beat them throughout their young lives with the handle of a mattock, which is a sort of like a ploughshare or large hoe that's heavier than a baseball bat. He drove his eldest son's high school sweetheart, Debbie Valgos, to suicide (today that same son, Fred Jr., who at seventeen ran away from home to elope with Valgos but was caught, can't quite recall who she is). Phelps is a textbook case of narcissism taken to an unimaginable extreme. The man doesn't need to be beaten, he needs a thorazine drip and a padded cell. To see him as anything higher than a severely deranged psychopath is giving him far more credit than he's due.

By far the most frightening aspect of the WBC (Westboro Baptist Church) is that, at every protest, you usually see children ranging anywhere from five to fifteen years old waving around the picket signs alongside the "adults". Many of these kids being Phelps's grandchildren, one can easily assume given the cyclical nature of child abuse that they too are growing up with the same cruelty and barbarism that was inflicted on their parents.

[daleo]

108. That heavy jacket could be hiding a suicide bomb

He better watch it if his plane goes through Heathrow.

[SkyIsGrey]

148. Risking a Tombstone here, but.....

hatching a plot.

Before his trip, send Phelps some coupons to a tanning salon , hopefully taking the bait, and afterwords gets on the plane to Hethrow. But as a added measure also send a guest along for the flight. As his little entourage is embarking off the plane, and at the opportune time, Nathan Lane walks-up behind Mr. Phelps, and goes BOOOOO!!!!. In his disgust and shock, he bolts getting the expected treatment from the local law enforcement(guy with not white enough complexion, running with coat). In the aftermath, a win-win situation, one less asshole on the planet, and the london police dump their procedure after realizing they inadvertently shot a white guy.

All respect to Mr. Lane. Any and all complaints can be sent to my In-Box.

[akarnitz]

2. I am speechless

[Dave Reynolds]

3. Do those loonies think

that they will be allowed out of the airport, if they are allowed to land at all?

[Mabus]

21. Hey, anything that gets them out of Kansas

and in a prison far, far away sounds good to me.

[proud2BlibKansan]

117. Amen to that

I am all in favor of the Phelps family becoming world travelers.

[Mz Pip]

4. Maybe they'll

take him as a serious threat and throw his sorry bigotted as in jail. They can keep him.

New flash to Phelps: One of those nice Red States in under assault by God's rath in the form of hurricane Katrina.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[merwin]

25. That would be WONDERFUL!

[AlamoDemoc]

29. or maybe they should give him the Abu Ghraib treatment

for the sake of freedom on the march hopitality :sarcasim:

[madeline_con]

31. Don't encourage him....

We have enough problems.

[President Kerry]

133. perhaps in jail he'd get the first-hand experience of what he

knows nothing about..

[redwitch]

5. fred needs medication

nt

[silverweb]

6. Can't Sweden just refuse them entry?

No visa, no visit. Simple.

[TankLV]

50. No no no! Rope him in - let him come and start - then they can throw his

entire family in prison for threatening a head of state!

This will be fun to watch!

[silverweb]

101. Good point.

It works for me. ;)

[smirkymonkey]

90. I actually hope they let the bastard in.....

and then lock him up for good in a nice Swedish prison filled with horny homosexuals.

[silverweb]

102. I see your way of thinking.

It would be justice, I think.

[Endangered Specie]

7. Heh, I kind hope Fred does try...

the Swedish version of the secret service will make short work of him!

8. Yep! Maybe Funky Fred will finally get locked up tight.

It's an idea whose time has come. This guy is certifiable. He doth protest too much, methinks! I think the guy is a latent homosexual, and that's why he can't think of anything else.


:kick:

[SharonAnn]

142. Yes, he's a terrorist! He hates their freedoms!

[anotherdrew]

9. Phelps will spend the rest of his life in a swedish jail with any luck

[papercut]

11. I'd rather see him in a Turkish prison, but

a Swedish prison will do just as well, I suppose.

[burrowowl]

128. Unfortunately, probably not

the Swedes will scratch their heads and wonder what to do with him.

[stevedeshazer]

10. Fred and his family will have a very tough time in Sweden.

He hates Sweden. The feeling is mutual.

12. It gets even better: "You are drippings from the Devil's own penis.."

Fred Phelps' 'Swedish King Is Gay' Tirade
by Malcolm Thornberry 365Gay.com European Bureau Chief
Posted: August 24, 2005 12:01 am ET

<snip>

Phelps' site calls Sweden "a land of sodomy, bestiality, and incest", and goes on to say: "The King looks like an anal-copulator, & his grinning kids look slutty & gay."

Under pictures of the royals, the site says: "You jackass Swedes just don't get it. Once you have laws to chill Bible preaching, we don't give a rat's tutu whatever else you do or say. You are drippings from the Devil's own penis - a veritable sperm bank for Satan's queers."

16. That statement has GOT to be the oddest thing I've ever heard.

And I've heard a lot of odd statements from that pile of trash.

[Ian David]

68. It would make a great bumpersticker, wouldn't it?

"Honk If You Are Drippings From Satan's Own Penis"

[Daphne08]

124. I didn't know Satan had a

penis. :shrug: I'm just sayin'...





Sorry, but the devil made me do it. :rofl:

[Ian David]

131. The devil can take whatever form suits him

In fact, if he wanted to, he could appear as a giant penis with legs.

Personally, I think he usually appears as Fred Phelps.

Speaking of...

As anyone ever seen Fred Phelps and Rick Santorum in the same room at the same time?

Awfully suspicious...

[Lindacooks]

47. Phelps certainly is OBSESSED with sex and sperm, isn't he??

And penises, too. Apparently that's all he can think about.

[progressivebydesign]

145. I'm frightened for this brainwashed children...

.. I can only imagine what the guy thinks is normal behavior with children.

[Pachamama]

61. Fred Phelps better add the Spaniards to his list: King Gustav comes from

Spain originally....I believe he's the King of Spain's cousin?

This man Phelps (if you can call him a man) is certifiably insane....

I'm Danish and German and have spent a lot of time in Sweden and his description of the Swedes, the country, their royal family are just so way off base and disgusting. I hope they arrest him at the airport in Stockholm....

[Strawman]

96. Do they have banjos in Sweden?

[TygrBright]

125. "Satan's Penis Drippings" would be a great name for a rock band...

With lots of leather and metal.

Doncha think?

mirthfully,

[geckosfeet]

13. With any luck he will disappear in Sweden and never be heard from again.

[grytpype]

14. godDAMN this guy is nuts.

He's King of the Wingnuts.

22. I think the syphilis

34. Or maybe the AIDS got him...

15. Another "good will ambassador" from the Republican Party

I'm so glad McCain wants Intelligent Design taught in schools. We can now paint them with a broad brush, they suck!

[TankLV]

51. I read somewhere that these idiots are democrats.

Somebody have the links?

[proud2BlibKansan]

118. Yes they are

There have been pictures posted here of Rev Fred and Al Gore. He was a Gore supporter in 92.

[Ms. Toad]

122. I would be very surprised.

I got my own personal Fred Phelps hate postcard in 1986, so I know he has been a virulent and vocal homphobe at least that long. Can't imagine anyone that fanatic in this particular area supporting Al Gore.

[proud2BlibKansan]

126. Well believe it

http://www.logcabinwa.com/archive/200010251159.shtml

Reports linking Vice President Al Gore with notorious anti-gay activist Fred Phelps, Jr., and the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas were confirmed with the release of photographs showing Gore at a fundraiser at the home of Fred Phelps, Jr., who told the Conservative News Service on October 16 that he served as a Gore delegate on the floor of the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta in 1988.

Gore, who was quoted by the Nashville Tennessean in 1984 saying homosexuality is not "an acceptable alternative that society should affirm" and said in his 1984 U.S. Senate race that he would not accept money from gay rights organizations and that he opposed a "gay bill of rights," reportedly sought the support of the Phelps family in his 1988 presidential campaign, and invited the Phelps' to the Clinton-Gore inaugurations of January 1993 and January 1997.


Left to right: Fred Phelps, Tipper Gore, Betty Phelps, Al Gore


Fred Phelps (left) and Al Gore (center)

[Ms. Toad]

136. That's disappointing.

But I guess it does help explain Clinton signing the marriage discrimination act. Any donor/fundraiser big enough to get invited to inaugural events isn't likely to be ignored when it comes time for payback.

[proud2BlibKansan]

147. I did hear that Gore eventually returned

Phelps' donations.

[ET Awful]

70. He's not a Republican.

He's a freakin' lunatic that is registered as a Democrat and got his start as a civil rights lawyer if you can believe it.

[Frederik]

99. Really?

That's an amazing story.

[belle]

139. It means nothing. He's a virulent racist as well.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

17. "We'll hunt down your king"

Yep, 21 crispy fried homophobic wingnuts are going to take out His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf. :eyes:

I think it's time to find a nice comfy straight jacket and a padded room for Phelps.

[fighttheevilempire]

18. I'm all for his visit...

then he and his loonie followers will be 1) out of the US, and 2) in jail where they can't cause more damage. Good for them.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

127. I agree...

The Swedes will most likely give him the psychological evaluation he needs. I only hope they don't send him back here to receive treatment.

[bemildred]

20. Another candidate for the Patriot Act. nt

[rodeodance]

23. well, this about takes the cake doesn't it. MY Gawd!!

[kansasblue]

24. I've got to go meet this man!

Just like when I slow down to see a car accident.

[madeline_con]

35. Or pay to see the freak show?

:rofl:

[MisterP]

26. he'll come away with a crown-shaped dent in his turkey skin

Bush will praise "Kingy," then bury Phelps in Arlin'ton

[burrowowl]

27. I think that Sweden should prevent their entry

by declaring them all personna non gratia, man if they can enter Sweden threating the king! Could they enter the U$ threatening the president? Hell, it used to be Swedes could visit the U$ on their passport without a visa and now if they don't have a digital passport, they have to get a visa. Some relatives are coming to visit in September, I hope they get here!

[Robeson]

38. Absolutely. They should be denied entry.

[atreides1]

87. I think they should allow him to enter the country

Then they can arrest him and his family for making threats against the Royal Family.

I don't really think that the U.S. government will be in a great hurry to get him and his nutty family released into their custody.

By the way what is the punishment for making a threat against the Swedish Royal Family?

[beetbox]

28. This lunatic should be padlocked in his basement church

The church is located in the basement of his home, which is located inside of a block-wide fenced compound, the other houses in which are occupied by nine of his thirteen children.

In 1994, a reporter working for Stauffer Communications, Inc., filed a lawsuit about ownership of a book he had been researching for them, which details the life and activities of Phelps. Because the text of the book was entered as Exhibit A, the text entered into public domain. A link to one source of the text of this book is included below.

The distributed text describes Phelps as a ferocious child-abuser and wife-beater and proposes that he was instrumental in the death of his son Fred Phelps Jr.'s lover/possible first wife, a 17-year old girl named Debbie Valgos. Most of these claims are supported by two of Phelps' sons and one of his daughters, but are denied by their other siblings, who are not estranged from Phelps.

[bemildred]

32. Mr Phelps should read a bit of history.

The swedes are descendents of Vikings.
They can handle him.

[cliss]

48. Heh, I think so.

I'm a citizen of Sweden, and I can personally say that the Swedish royal family is actually one of the better monarchies. The king doesn't really say that much, he's rather quiet and subdued. His family is the same. They work quietly, in the background.

Notice, this family is never in the Tabloids, unlike the British royal family, which is in the Daily Tattler or the Daily Globe all the time. Prince Charles new shenanigans have sold a lot of rags.

For the life of me, I can't understand this man's maniacal obsession with Carl Gustav. And you're right: these guys are no whimps.

They'll deal with him. LOL

[KitSileya]

93. And I'm pretty sure the Swedes will deal with him too.

There's a much lower wingnut to normal ratio in the population in the Scandinavian countries, so I'm pretty sure he'll be laughed out of his hotel, out of the bus, on the street - wherever ordinary Swedes may encounter him and his posse with their signs, they'll react like decent, normal people. They'll dismiss him as the lunatic he is.

And I think there's a greater chance that he'll form an acquaintance with the wonderful Swedish welfare system rather than with Swedish jails - they'll put him in a psychiatric hospital rather than in a jail cell - and to no cost to him! He'll be frothing at the mouth about communism. LOL

[Rex]

33. This is a new standard in Christian broadcasting.

Funny watching the MSM cover the whole embaressment. Scary, scary people we're dealing with here.

[madeline_con]

36. If he had half a brain, he'd be dangerous....

I think he's just an idiot mostly.

I'm extremely disappointed he wasn't beaten senseless by some veteran's family while visiting a funeral. :(

[Celeborn Skywalker]

37. Ooh,

I bet the King's just shaking in his boots.:scared:

Fuck off, Fred.

[genieroze]

40. Shut up you nut, GAWD I hate that ass-hole.

[proud2BlibKansan]

Maybe the Swedes will throw his ass in jail for threatening their king.

42. Here's a link to a Swedish paper (in Swedish) They think he's insane:

http://www.expressen.se/index.jsp?a=425815
How embarrasing. Hopefully, the Swedes will arrest, detain and deport him back to the US.

Link from a Scandanavian Royals message board:
http://members3.boardhost.com/scandinavia/msg/103538.html

Lunatic pastor goes to Sweden
Fred Philps, hateful pastor from Westboro Baptist Church, will come to Sweden in September with 20 of his followers (relatives). His mission is to stalk the Swedish King.

Philps is a man who hates everything. He has sites with names like godhatessweden, godhatesamerica and gothatescanada. He is happy whenever a US soldier is killed in Iraq, his followers demonstrate on the soldiers' funerals, he calls Queen Elizabeth Queen of Fags et cetera.

He also hates the Swedish Royal Family and has published disparaging (to say the least) comments about them on his site. The RF has asked lawyers to investigate if his site can be stopped, and that is probably why he now comes to Sweden to persue the King.

"We will chase your king. It doesn't matter where he tries to hide", Phelps says.

He will also raise a monument in order to celebrate (!) that many Swedes were killed by the tsunami!

[drduffy]

85. pithing

[countmyvote4real]

43. They sound like prime suspects for rendering.

They're extreme, fundamental and they hate democracy.

Oh, but they're white and cloaked as Christians. Oops my bad.

[genieroze]

44. I dost think the "lady" protest to much. Maybe him and Robertson

are really GOOD friends. They can both take over the world through assassinations and be the new king and QUEEN. King Chimp will attend the FABULOUS event. Reverend Moon will preform the service, and Jesus will come back just for the party. Amen

Honestly when someone protests this much about homosexuality or anything else for that matter it usually means it hit close to home. This guy is a self hating closet gay. IMHO

Hey Phelps, it's okay to be gay, it's not okay to be you though.

46. The U.S. must make a really good impression on foreigners.

It must be almost 3 years ago that Ari Fleischer suggested that a single bullet would eliminate Saddam Hussein, cheaper than a war. A few days ago, it was Pat Robertson calling for the assassination of Hugo Chavez, again cheaper than a war. Now, Fred Phelps.

There is obviously too much violence in our culture.

Dancing Queen, Mama Mia, Waterloo, Fernando all done with live drag queen karaoke shows. Phelps DESERVERS it.

56. LOL

[sarcasmo]

66. It's Raining Men would be the best song to shove down his EARS.

57. Looking forward to give him a royal welcome...

He pretty much has managed to piss off the whole population:

1. Tsunami disaster is still fresh in the minds of the population. Many know someone who died, and the pictures of the families wiped out are not forgotten,

2. The royals have big supporters in groups far more RW than Freeper Phelps and they will be looking forward to his visit,

3. The hate spewed about gays will not only upset the gay community, but also the left who deeply sympathizes with their struggle for equal rights.

[Star Rover]

58. Just HAVE to reply on this topic...

:evilgrin:

I'm a Swede myself (invited to DU a couple of months ago by my good internet friend AlienGirl). Haven't posted contributions much (just one or two at the Lounge), but now I can't resist the temptation to throw in some remarks about Phelps...

First and foremost: Besides not being a monarchist myself, I would LOVE the sight of Phelps and his cohorts (given that our secret police would be dumb enough to actually let them slip through - not that it would surprise me: It's infamous for harassing leftists and asylum seekers, and it haven't ONCE cought a spy, be it a foreigner or a domestic on, working for some foreign nation) being given a hearty "welcome" from a crowd of weightlifting 200 pound Swedish leather dykes on bikes roughing himn up a bit and chewing him a new asshole!

Seriously though: I checked up the guy somewhat on the wikipedia, and he seem to have some serious mental problems, most likely aggrivated by drug and alcohol abuse. Seems like the right place for him it a padded cell for the rest of his life, where he can't harm others or himeself... ;-)

Last thing: Don't worry too much about Swedes in general having the impression of USA being composed of whackos like Phelps only! The more informed of us are very well aware of the fact that the US is a huge fraction of a continent populated by some 300 million people - which means even a small percentage of nuts makes up a lot countered in absolute numbers. I'm convinced the overhelming majority of you are commmon sense folks, just as here in Sweden (yes, we have our whackos and ring wingnuts here as well - but they aren't - yet - as vocal as yours, for a lot of reasons - mostly historical ones).

Nuff said, at least for this time...

62. How come he's still allowed to fly?

Seriously ... I thought that even in America there was still a line
that separated "freedom of speech" from "criminal incitement"?

This is a person who has repeatedly threatened US citizens and is
now threatening a head of state!

How can the American legislature actively protect a psycho like that?

[Ian David]

69. He's not brown and he's Xian. n/t

[Canadian Socialist]

119. If I recall correctly

and I'm too lazy to look it up, he threaten to come up here (Canada) when our parliament was voting on the equal marriage bill. IIRC, he was stopped at the border (I'm guessing for "hate crimes" violations). Maybe someone can clarify this a bit. Like I said, just too damn lazy today to do research. I think this was when his godhatescanada website came into being.

[Ian David]

65. Fred Phelps's European Vacation- Photoshop Help Needed

[Maeve]

67. If we had decent psychiatric care in this country, Phelps would get help

A nice padded cell where he couldn't hurt himself or others, some appropriate meds....now, his family needs help, too--see what happens when you neglect health care?

[atommom]

74. That should have been done years ago, when there was still hope

for the rest of his family. He's beaten and abused them all into clones of his own sick self.

[noonwitch]

77. It's obvious what his problem is-he's afraid he might be gay himself

That is the only explaination for his extreme hatred of gays, because his hatred is so beyond the basic condemnation of homosexuality that most fundies believe in. Even the freepers think he's crazy and an embarrassment to conservatism.

[Pert_UK]

71. Mad as a hatter. Bigoted. Evil. I hope Sweden treats him as a terrorist.

One of the most loathsome abominations to walk this earth.

I'd call him a "c"-word if that didn't offend so many of my fellow DUers.......

[Renew Deal]

113. lol

[truth2power]

83. Fred Phelps is mentally unhinged. Sounds to me like

he's threatening to assassinate the Swedish king. I hope the Swedish govt. doesn't allow him into the country.

Whackjobs like Phelps are totally out of control. :scared:

[Mist]

84. Two words: "aids dementia" n/t

[Ian David]

86. Here's a funny photo of Fred. Notice the guys posing on either side of him

He's Gay

[Zenlitened]

103. Whoops... posted in wrong place.

Sorry 'bout that.

:D

[pitohui]

88. the usa should confiscate his passport

we should not be allowing foreign travel of a national who has declared his intent to stalk another foreign leader

i know royals aren't really the leaders in sweden but it still borders on a terroristic threat

phelps should have his passport seized & be put on the "do not fly" list

death threats aren't just tacky, they're against the law

[Megahurtz]

89. This Guy's a Fucking KOOK!

I think he needs some kind of "Assisted Living" or something.:freak::crazy:

Like I said......here they all come:eyes:...........

[AngryOldDem]

91. Someone needs to lock up this nutjob n/t

[aresef]

95. I would under any other circumstances never say...

...that anyone actually deserves AIDS, but for Phelps, I'll make an exception.

[mtnester]

97. Hmmm...if he lived in the UK he would be DEPORTED

preferably to a country who isn't afraid of a little torture...just like where we send them.

C'mon Sweden, deny his entry PLEASE

[sakabatou]

98. It is people like Phelps that the FBI should look out for

[meganmonkey]

100. No, haven't you heard? It's the tree-huggers that are dangerous. See:

[sakabatou]

104. OMG! They're using terrorism against those innocent trees bu hugging!

TO WAAAARRRR!!

[bushisanidiot]

106. He sounds like the freeptards and their obsession with everything french

heh..

idiots.

[Zenlitened]

107. Just curious. When this guy finally croaks...

... will it be okay to "dance on his grave"?

Or will the sanctimonious hand-wringers be out in force on that day, too, telling us we musn't ever, oh never good heavens no, ever celebrate another human being's death?

Just curious.

:D

[regnaD kciN]

138. Personally, I'd rather do something else on his grave...

...that would make me feel, shall we say, "relieved." :evilgrin:

[grasswire]

109. check the Bush assassination of Sweden's Olaf Palme...

...that was George the Elder, of course.

[beetbox]

110. More on Bush assassination of Olaf Palme

Under the orders of Bush, Ilopango Airport had been set up in early 1985 as a Contra supply base by "ex" CIA agent Felix Rodriguez, with whom Bush coordinated his drug-running activities. When the United States Drug Enforcement Administration Representative in Nicaragua, Celerino Castillo, caught up with Bush on January 14, 1986, he confronted him as follows: "I met George Bush," said Castillo, "at a cocktail party in Guatemala city. It was at the ambassador's residence. He came up to me, and asked me what my job description was as a DEA agent in Guatemala. I told him that I was an agent conducting international narcotics investigations, and I told him there was something funny going on at Ilopango Airport. As soon as I said that, he shook my hand, he smiled for the cameraman, and then just walked away from me without saying a word. I knew then that he knew what I was talking about."

Celerino Castillo survived the confrontation, but many others who knew about Bush's covert operations, which went far beyond Ibero America, were not so fortunate. Among the victims were DEA agent Enrique Camarena, CIA agent Barry Seal, French General Rene Audran, German State Governor Uwe Barshel, Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, Israeli intelligence agent Amiram Nir, Canadian weapons manufacturer Gerald Bull, Belgian government minister Andre Cools, and Swedish Prime Minister Olaf Palme.

Olaf Palme, for example, found himself in an untenable position as the chief enforcer of the United Nations arms embargo on Iran and Iraq at the same time he was privy to Bush's covert weapons trafficking to Iran. His assassination followed a raid on the offices of Swedish arms broker Karl-Erik Schmitz, where documents seized by Swedish Customs officials detailed the activities of a global arms and munitions cartel with George Bush at the center. Apparently, Olaf Palme knew too much. In a desperate attempt to cover up the assassination, the mainstream media blamed Lyndon LaRouche.

Nonetheless, it soon emerged in a South African courtroom, where a Colonel Eugene de Kock was on trial for a series of apartheid-era assassinations, that one Craig Williamson was responsible for the Olaf Palme hit. Williamson was the director of Giovanni Ricci's international weapons trading company, GMR. Together with one James Anthony White, who was later named as the actual assassin of Palme, Ricci and Williamson ran an operation in South Africa known as Longreach, which spied on anti-apartheid activists, and smuggled weapons into South Africa through George Bush's networks. Moreover, Ricci was a member of the powerful and secretive P-2 lodge in Italy, whose Grand Master was Licio Gelli, a war-time Nazi collaborator. P-2 member Michael Ledeen, who brokered the infamous arms for hostages deal with Iran, was a key consultant to Bush's National Security Council.

[cliss]

120. Wow. I don't doubt this is true.

The Elder Bush, that is. Murdering criminals, every last one of them.

I was in Sweden at the time, too. It's one of those mysteries that has never been solved.....at least, not by the general public.

This is the first I've heard of this.

Why should it surprise me?

[allalone]

111. I read this last night

and I am still stunned. Is this for real? Why would the Swedes lwt them into their country? Do they really think they are going to chase the king through the streets with placards? What did the Swedes ever do to this guy? Sour Lingonberry jam?

[Renew Deal]

112. Wouldn't Sweden throw him in prison for threatening the King?

Kind of makes sense.

[eauclaireliberal]

114. RE: "Wouldn't Sweden throw him in prison for threatening the King?"

Kind of makes sense.

So does a .50 BMG. But I digress.

[Barrymores Ghost]

115. Phelps is, I suspect, a closet-case...

...afraid that if he ever lets go of this single-minded obsession with persecuting gays, someone will catch on that his issue with them is nothing more than a furious case of self-loathing run amok. Some of his children have cut off all ties with him long ago, pointing to years of his horrific abuse of them and their mother, including beatings, mental torture and death threats.

I had the unique displeasure of being face-to-face with him and his reeking ilk on more than one occasion during my days in NE Kansas, and I can tell you that these cretins are so far beyond lunacy that there is no hope for intervention.

[Strelnikov_]

116. Any Way We Can Convince Him There Are Gays In Iraq?

Maybe that the new constitution makes gay marriage legal.

And that a protest is needed, in, say Ramadi or Falluja.

Just a thought . .

[liberaliraqvet26]

121. Can't we prove Rove is in the closet...

at least put this wackjob to good use

[stepnw1f]

123. Fred Needs a Very Large D*

in his ass.

[Buns_of_Fire]

129. 21 people / 5 porta-potties = 4 people/porta-potty...

...two to use, two to guard.

That remainder of one, that's Phelps. He doesn't need a porta-potty, since he's terminally full of shit.

(And yes, I'm tying Phelps in with the freepers with their obsession with the Purity of Their Bodily Fluids. Why not? :evilgrin: )

[Buns_of_Fire]

130. Hmmmmm. What If, though. Just WHAT IF....

Phelps was using his position (and notoriety) to demonstrate that any hatred of homosexuals was, indeed, an unGodly position and he was EXAGGERATING that "threat" to call attention to his cause? WHAT IF he were TRULY a man of God, willing to BECOME the target of the calnumny of humanity upon himself in order to SAVE humanity from its prejudices and UNITE them AGAINST those prejudices?

...

...

...

*thinking* *thinking* *Jeopardy music in the background* *thinking*

...

Naaaaah. He's a nutjob. :shrug:

[Redstone]

137. Let's get together and drive him fucking nuts.

I know he's nuts already, but if each and every one of us sends him a bag of Swedish Fish in the mail, we might be able to get him to blow a gasket...

I'm going to look for his address, and I'll send my Fish out on Monday.

Anyone else?

Redstone

[kbm8795]

140. He won't be allowed to protest long in Sweden.

And even Kansas will beg our President to let him rot in a Swedish prison for threatening the king. As nutty as wingnut-operated Kansas has been, they have never liked Phelps.

[VegasWolf]

143. The guy has damaged his head by rolling on the floor one too many times.nt

[progressivebydesign]

144. How could that man NOT be on the "do not fly list????

I mean.. he's threatening the King of a Country?? Oh wait.. Pat Robertson did that, and like Phelps, he enjoys his hatred on OUR tax dollars!!! That man should be thrown in jail for making terrorist threats...

[AspenRose]

146. Not having read the rest of the threads, let me get this *ahem* STRAIGHT..

(pardon the pun) ;-)

Neocons don't want "the world" telling them what to do (e.g. the UN) BUT it's A-OK for Neocon fundamentalist "Christians" to go around threatening assassination of world leaders.

Isn't MURDER a sin? *sigh* "Judge not, lest ye be judged" and "Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord" are two verses totally lost on these people. Not to mention the plank-speck-in-your eye verse Jesus talked about....
