Fred Phelps: Thank God for Tsunami & 2000 Dead Swedes

[NoPasaran]

Kansas' own Apostle of Hate just can't contain his glee at the latest example of the Wrath of God...

http://rawstory.rawprint.com/1204/westboro_tsunami_statement_1230.php

[warrior1]

1. why is this monster

still breathing?

[NoPasaran]

3. Kind of makes you wish

Kansas had a coastline, doesn't it?

[xultar]

7. Well we'll see what happens to his ass during the next tornado season

Gawd don't like ugly. I have a feeling that some payback wrath will be up his ass in the spring.

[Bertha Venation]

126. The Phelpsians are not the only people in Topeka.

I realize you're staying within the context of natural disasters, but perhaps a different wish would be more appropriate.

[proud2BlibKansan]

33. NO

There are a lot of good people in Topeka.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

46. indeed

[shawcomm]

9. and

why does the media continue to print his hate?

He's got to be one of the most hate filled people ever.

[proud2BlibKansan]

30. The media ignores him

for the most part. I live 90 miles away and we rarely hear anything about him. The national press gives him more attention than the locals.

[scarlett1]

119. He thrives on attention so local media does ignore him

He makes me so proud to be a Kansan
:puke:

He is also a DINO like Zell

[frankly_fedup2]

122. oh yeah . . .almost forgot that idiot. What gets me is the fact . . .

that as a Christian (in my heart I try to live the way I should; however, I'm not a practicing Christian that goes to church. I just cannot find a church that I actually enjoy going to).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we suppose to live our lives according to the New Testament and live Christ like? I mean Jesus totally changed this World with his words, deeds, and his sacrifice.

So here is my question . . .why do all these preachers quote from the Old Testament? I never hear them quote Jesus or anything in the New Testament.

Please, someone enlighten me. I would love to post this on the Freepers site but it would be immediately deleted. I really need a Republican Christian to explain this to me.

[A Simple Game]

142. Old Testament vs. New

The answer to your question is money.

To these people fear equals money.

Old Testament equals fear.

New Testament equals love.

[Capn Sunshine]

76. He has access to the White House too

all the right wing fundies have Rove's ear.

[Az]

78. Phelps is too hot even for Shrub n/t

[TankLV]

129. Unfortunately, my exact first thoughts, too.

What a horrible excuse for a "man".

Simply disgusting.

[cornermouse]

2. Ignore him.

Publicity is what he's after, so ignore him.

[Telly Savalas]

144. Exactly.

When you hear a mentally disturbed individual yelling racial epiteths on a bus do you post a transcript here? Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Posse aren't really any different than that.

[pinerow]

4. This fellow has some serious issues...

nt

[Dulcinea]

64. I think Phelps is a closet case.

Anyone that obsessed with homosexuality has to be.

[CBHagman]

94. Yes, it's sort of like Lester Kinsolving.

For those of you who don't follow White House press briefings, Lester Kinsolving is the Baltimore talk show host who is in the White House press corps and almost invariably asks questions that are not-so-veiled digs at liberals (or even moderates) or about gay-related issues, and the weirder the question, the better.

[TheDebbieDee]

5. I agree with Cornermouse.....

This Phelps yahoo wants attention - it's the only reason to explain his outlandish, unGodly attacks on gays.

[NoPasaran]

14. To ignore or not to ignore

If Fred Phelps really was just one isolated hateful crackpot then I would be ready to just let him fester in his own bile. But I see him as being the point man for the whole rightwing hate machine that runs through Falwell and Robertson through Coulter and Savage to the bloviators on Fox News. They pave the way for the Radical Right Wing in the Congress that's going to wreck Social Security and gut the Bill of Rights. By not standing up to their bullshit, by assuming that if WE ignore them, they will go away, we defeat ourselves. Their message of hatred and bigotry does have an audience---the "red state" voters who so irritatingly vote against their own interests for the "moral values" agenda of the reich wing. We need to go on the offensive against the voices of bigotry and hatred, not ignore them. At the very least, I'd like to see the GOP have to expend at least as much energy denouncing Fred Phelps as Al From feels he needs to spend trashing Michael Moore.

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. The Republicans ignore him too

There is no connection between him and Falwell et al.

And BTW, he was a registered Democrat. Don't know what party he belongs to today.

[tngledwebb]

54. This type plays a useful role for the enemy.

Like Coulter, he is there to make the majority of our right wing loonies look almost human.

And he pushes the PC envelope on purpose, allowing 'acceptance' of a little more hate speech every time.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

123. DINGDINGDINGDING we have a WINNAH! (nt)

[liberal N proud]

6. This filth should not even be allowed to be printed anywhere

I would much rather my child read a porn magazine than this kind of crap.
And these are the Religious Reich?

[AliciaKeyedUp]

17. It needs to be legal

I don't want the government telling me what to think, no matter how un-Christian these asswipes are.

[liberal N proud]

23. Yes, I do understand that and do not want to stop the freedom of speech

But these assholes want to stop the printing of other literature including some that is not pornography and yet they will print this kind of hate articles.
It just pisses me off how hypocritcal these thugs are. And we have one of "them" as the president of this nation.
We are fucked.

[Bertha Venation]

127. Hatred flourishes in the dark. I say, let them print their disgusting lies

because if they hide it, it'll grow.

[ruggerson]

8. This is what the "mainstream" religious right believes

They just use code words. Phelps is more direct and honest.
This is what Bush believes too.

[AliciaKeyedUp]

18. I call Bullshit on that

We do NOT believe this. Christians aspire to be Christ-like and don't celebrate the death of 120,000 people.

[TexasChick]

20. I think ruggerson was referring to the Right wingers, not the Christians

like you and me who have nothing in common with their idiocy and hatemongering.

[AliciaKeyedUp]

21. Thanks, but he said mainstream religious right

And I dont' believe he is right on that point.

I work with a mixed bag of people, some pretty much part of that group. They are raising funds for the victims and seem genuinely upset by the event. They might be foolish people, but they aren't bad.

[TexasChick]

22. Oh, okay, thanks. n/t

[Zenlitened]

24. Face it, you're in the fringe.

The wackos ARE the face of Christianity in this country at present.

[TexasChick]

25. Yeah, unfortunately, that's very true. I guess that's why a lot of

Christians are trying to fight people like this.

[Geek_Girl]

77. I disagree

He may be on the extreme side but he is doing this in the name of religion and taking an extreme right wing point of view that god doesn't like gays and is punishing those that protect gay rights in Sweden. That makes him part of the Religious Right.

[AliciaKeyedUp]

79. He no more represents the religious right

Than Chairman Mao represented the atheist left.

Both are extremists in every sense of the word.

[ruggerson]

84. Sure he represents the religious right

He IS part of the religious right, along with Falwell and Robertson and Phyllis Schlafly and Richard Viguerie and James Dobson, etc etc.

These remarks by Phelps and CO. are not much different than when Falwell and Robertson blamed 9/11 on "gays and feminists".

Face it. The religious right ARE extremists. And they have this President right by the cojones. Because he's one of them.

[AliciaKeyedUp]

86. No, you face it

The people who are celebrating death are in a micro minority as they should be. Those are extremists, not typical anything.

[ruggerson]

90. And Robertson and Falwell aren't extremists?

[AliciaKeyedUp]

99. Not like this

Few are. That's why this nut stands out.

120. Robertson and Falwell are plenty extreme for me

Anyone who says that 9/11 was caused by "gays and feminists" is totally wacked out, in my book. Phelps is perhaps a bit more direct and in your face, but if you read what Robertson and Falwell have said over the years, on a variety of subjects, they're just as insane as Fred Phelps. And they're widely considered "leaders" of the religious rightwing. (BTW, I'm not in any sense talking about religion or spirituality. I'm discussing the organized political movement, collectively known as the "religious right".)

116. He is part of Religious Right

He may be an extreme part but he is still a faction of the Religious Right and represents those that share his views. Sorry but the truth is not pretty. I have a friend who 7 years ago I thought had extreme right wing religious views. Today his views seem more moderate. His views haven't changed, but the religious right has become more extreme over the years.


:shrug:

[peacebird]

97. AliciaKeyedUp - ther is a world of difference between a Christian

and a "christian".
My husband has decided that the right wing fundamentalists have forgotten (or ignore) all of Christ's teachings and therefore are "little c" christians, as opposed to Christians - who love Jesus and follow His teachings.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

98. How DARE you speak for all Christians!

My particular sect believe that Barney is the second coming and those that professeth too loudly shall be thrown nekkid into the syrups of hell.

[AliciaKeyedUp]

102. Why not a little religious mockery to end the year

It's certainly representative of a subset of alleged commentary around here.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

105. I am by no means mocking you, I take offense to your speaking

for all my brethren.

May you find syrup in your end.



Listen to your leader:

http://www.godhatesamerica.com/sound/ghfsermons/Sermon_20041226.mp3

[AliciaKeyedUp]

112. You are mocking religion, not me

But by doing so, you are mocking all religious people.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

115. Pray tell, dear.. How on Earth can one mock religion? There are entirely

too many religions for one to mock in a reasonable amount of time.

After inferring that I was doing such a silly thing, you say something that concerns me for your soul.

"You Are mocking Religion, not me, but by doing so you are mocking all religious people."

Aside from the silliness involved in mocking all religious people (Can you just imagine the time that would take?), you have me mocking "all religious people" but NOT you. This leads me to the conclusion that you are not a religious person.

I shall pray, Alicia, for your souls to be kept from the lakes of syrup.

[AliciaKeyedUp]

121. Your posts are part of the DU anti-religion sentiment

As such, they are both predictable and pathetic.

I don't know why you choose to consistently mock religion, but don't expect to do so without someone pointing it out.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

125. My dear Alicia, why is it you insist upon classifying my religion as a

mockery of religion? And my posts being part of "the DU anti-religion sentiment?"

I have read all the rules, by laws and statements concerning participating in this discussion board, but have not read the one you refer to here. Perhaps you could direct me to the text? Is there a secretive movement afoot I am not privy to?

I am sincerely sorry that you find my posts "predictable and pathetic." I shall endeavor to make my posts less predictable and more enlightening.

As to your posts, I am sure that you will be delighted to learn that I find them extremely entertaining and humorous. I have delighted in laughter and good cheer upon reading them.

Again, I pray for your deliverance from the syrup.

[AliciaKeyedUp]

133. The ongoing slams against religion

Apparently you enjoy them. Many religious DUers do not.

Feel free to enhance the divide in our party with such drivel.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

137. When, dear Alicia, have I ever "slammed" your religion? It is you

who continuously rebutt my posts with hostilities and labels such as "drivel" when I, on the other hand have done nothing but express gratitude for your humor and wit.

I suppose it's the tempation to slur my name since my beliefs are worn so predominately upon my sleeve. If that does ofend you, I shall recuse myself of making statements concerning my faith and belief as I was always taught that good manner dictated so. My Sainted Mother always spoke to me when I was a child that I should not profess my faith in public places out of respect for others who may not feel the same. She told me that to do so would be rude, boorish and might well invite ridicule upon myself.

[AliciaKeyedUp]

140. Every post you make

Just makes your position more ridiculous.

Have at it.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

141. Dear Alicia, You continue to exposit fallacies as I have not stated

any position. Being a religious man, however, defines my natural predilection toward a missionary position.

Please, my daughter, continue to read and meditate on what you read in the phosphors of your screen at this address and with time, you too, may achieve enlightenment.

Yours Truly,
God

[RPM]

139. I am offended...

How dare you call my belief that religion is a crock of shit "predictable and pathetic".

There - now we are even.
:evilgrin:

[TankLV]

131. And just deserved mockery, it is!

We have more for such idiots as these!

We fart in their and their defenders general direction.

[AliciaKeyedUp]

134. Phelps deserves mockery, not religion

82. oh please

Phelps is a "Democrat" the same way Lyndon Larouche is a "Democrat", self-declared with no connection to the party. It was his SON who was a district manager for Gor ein 88 (Gopre had no idea who he was and Phelps wasn't yet on his loud anti-Gay rempage). His record as a civil rights lawyer is mostly in his head.


http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/michael_haggerty/expose3.htm#CAST%20OF%20CHARACTERS

[ruggerson]

85. Bwahahahahahahahahahahah n/t

[AlienGirl]

93. By what definition of "liberal"?

[greymattermom]

10. Phelps

came to demonstrate at my daughter's high school and at her graduation because the school theater group performed The Laramie Project. It was a learning experience for all. I joined the high school kids and marched around just like the good old days, except there were a lot of police out, more per demonstrator than I remember in the big antiwar demonstrations of the early 70s. A lot of little kids from Kansas have asked their parents what his pictures are about. I guess he's into sex education.

[Laughing Mirror]

34. Am I understanding you correctly....

You have marched and demonstrated with Fred Phelps?

[hippywife]

88. I think what she meant was

she marched against him. He came to our area a few months back and even the rednecks in this part of this very red state (OK) told him to go to hell. He was protesting at a few churches and a high school which used to be attended by a gay student that was interviewed by the Washington Post. We all held a vigil the night before at the GLBT community center. He was in front of the high school in the morning as the students arrived with his vile family and their vile signs. We were there when the students left school that day...70 of us with brooms sweeping the sidewalk of the hatred he had brought to town and clearing the way for the students to go home with a positive message of peace and tolerance.

He did so much good drawing all the folks together here in defense of their own, I was thinking about sending an email asking when he was coming back. He is such a wackjob he actually has the opposite effect he intends. It turned into such a warm, nurturing, and uniting experience for everyone! I think he'd just shit himself if he actually knew how much good he does and not in the way he thinks he does! LOL

[OneTwentyoNine]

145. Are you down in Ark City??

He got some press here in Wichita if thats the demonstration I'm thinking of.

Phelps and his radical followers outside a school with their GOD HATES FAGS signs. Just unbelivable.....

[Pushed To The Left]

11. Pure evil

The worst of the worst of the radical religious right. When he kicks the bucket, his funeral might be VERY interesting.....

[FarLeftRage]

12. That worthless piece of shit

is coming to my region next summer...

I'll be more than ready to rumble with this spawn of satan.

[proud2BlibKansan]

36. Ignore him

He is not a nice guy when you piss him off. The man goes after folks with a vengeance and his whole family is made up of attorneys so he usually gets away with it.

He has been known to harrass by phone, fax, and pickets. I know people who have fucked with him and they regret it. So just ignore him. If you must counter demonstrate, park you cars far away so he can't get the license numbers. That's how he finds out who is attacking him. And trust me, you don't want him to find out who you are.

[0rganism]

13. "How many tsunami-dead Swedes are fags & dykes?"

Well, Mr. Phelps, I'll bet you anything you like that the answer's a whole lot less than the 2000 deaths for which you just thanked your god.

[TexasChick]

19. This was posted on DailyKos too. And, there were a lot of Swedes

replying that said acually the Swedes that where there were mostly families with children. So, he didn't even get that right, I bet you.

Besides, anyone who is this obsessed with homosexuality, is usually dealing with the feelings of it, IMHO. You hate what you are. To me, you constantly worry about it. Of course, I could be wrong, but...does make you wonder.

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. The rumor is that his son is gay

and when he came out to his dad, Phelps started his nonsense. He was already a preacher at that point. Since then, he has been to law school. Tha guy is very hateful but also pretty smart.

[ronnykmarshall]

70. Some of kids have dis-owned Phelps.

I believe one or two of his daughters have changed their names and gotten away from this fucker.

[WoodrowFan]

83. Phelps family

Phelps is addicted to hate and his whole family is an evil little cult.

this is a LONG but very detailed article about him.

65. I agree he does

but he was a registered Dem for many years.

63. He is abusing our good name

Let's make sure that he doesn't get away with trashing our good name. We need to disassociate ourselves and let everyone know that he is squatting, not residing in our party.

95. Honey you broke the bullshitometer on that one!

26. Is ignorance an excuse for hatred?

"For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me." -- (Matthew 25.35-36 NASB).

[spanone]

27. I wouldn't piss on this man. A disgrace to humanity.

[Im_Your_Huckleberry]

52. i wouldn't piss down his throat if his heart was on fire.

to quote the ragin cajun.

[Coventina]

28. The guy has to be a self-hating closet case

I'm sorry to say it, my GLBT friends, I certainly don't want to insinuate that he's anything like you loving, accepting and well-balanced people.

But this guy is just way to interested in GLBT issues. I mean really, he probably thinks more about gay sex than the average guy in a S.F. bath-house!

And check out the graffic on the flyer! Please.

Fred, you need help, you sorry man!

[proud2BlibKansan]

39. HIs son is gay

That's supposedly what set him off

[Coventina]

42. Ahhhhh......thanks for telling me that

I could see how that could happen.

Boy, that must make family dinners a little strained.

His poor son, yikes!

[atommom]

44. Actually, I think the gay son is one of the few who was able to

make a break for it and leave the family enclave. Most of that family is still stuck in the Phelps' thrall.

[proud2BlibKansan]

50. I believe they are estranged

This is at least the story I have always heard. Phelps was just a minister, then his son told him he was gay and Phelps lost his mind.

[Mend]

29. His belief in God took a hit

If there is a "personal God" as fundamentalists believe, how could God casually drown a couple of hundred thousand innocent children, women, and men? The only explanation this fascist could conceive in his pea brain is that they "deserved" it. Cognitive dissonance is a bitch.

[Nimrod]

31. All about the money

This guy has it all figured out. He gets stupid bigots to send him money to "keep up the fight", but that's only part of it. See, he rants, raves, insults, gloats, until someone can't take it anymore and pops him in the eye. Then he sues them.

This guy is a joke. He's in it for the money.

[proud2BlibKansan]

40. I don't agree

He has very few followers, and most of his lawsuits don't net him big profits. He honestly believes he is doing God's work. At least that is the impression I have always had.

[Vidar]

35. I'm generally against torture, but the Inquisition should be revived

for this clown, Falwell & Robertson.

[Ezlivin]

41. A sample of "mandated" values?

It would be nice to hang this albatross around Bush & Co's neck, wouldn't it?

This newspaper clipping should be attached to a voter registration form pre-checked for "Republican" with a note that reads: "Please help us support Our Beloved Leader George Bush."

[atommom]

43. I knew he'd have something to say about this.

The best retaliation is to ignore him, but it's hard to do that when he is so vehemently spiteful. I can't imagine how anyone could structure his whole life around anger and hatred, but he proves that it's possible. :shrug:

[MaryH]

45. That bunch is so wacko. Don't give them any attention - that

is what they want. We, here in the Mid-West, totally ignore them.
They are just the lowest bottom-feeders on the planet.

[leesa]

48. They are sooooo jealous of people who enjoy life.

[Puglover]

55. This crazy bastard and his followers have

nothing whatever to do with religion or freedom of it. Can you imagine if they changed "faggots" with "black" or worse? It's preaching hate and is dangerous. The feds should shut this motherfucker and his crazy followers down. Period

Sure thing, baby!

Let's do the chicken dance!

[Az]

69. Anyone know the story on this Ake Green thing?

Phelps and Green's hatred aside. This does sound like a valid free speech issue. Unless Green was advocating violence he has the right to hate whoever he wants. Course I have the right to argue with him about what a jerk he is as well. But if I want to continue to enjoy that right then I have to defend his right to be an idiot in the first place.

[NoPasaran]

81. Apparently he was sentenced to a month for hate speech

http://www.time.com/time/europe/magazine/article/0,13005,901041101-733764-2,00.html
I don't know all that much about Swedish law, but obviously they don't have the First Amendment.

91. Supposedly, his speech was fairly extreme.

But that is only what Im told by a friend, I dont have a source.

71. My, my, MY!!

What can we do with THAT phone number on that filer?

[Misunderestimator]

72. Good catch.... right on the top.

[Rockerdem]

73. According to other posters above with knowledge about this creep

Be careful that he doesnt get your phone # or license plate number. The guy goes on a jihad against anybody that crosses him. Use stealth.

But pizza delivery might work.

75. Its how he stays in business

Someone attacks him and he sues them.

80. I wonder if there's a www.fredphelpslovessatan.com website up yet?

he's a satan worshipper... a good and faithful servant of evil.

106. Sometimes I wonder about people like him

I think to myself, what the hell happened to him? How did he become so twisted and hateful?

I don't think kids are born like that. I think kids get made like that. Something twisted him- and something similar has twisted his followers. What is it?

It's sure not in the New Testament- and it's not in the Old testament- at least not unconflicting- however one does the exegesis.

There's something more going on here.

What is it that twists people like that? What is it that makes them into nearly everything they claim to hate?

128. People like him are one thing

I've learned enough about personality disorders over the years...

People like this...or Dobson...or Bush or the right wing ministers...are not as big a mystery as their followers!

That's what I don't get. There can be disgustubg people...but who are the people that admire, support or vote for them? That is the scariest part to me

[Boy Interrupted]

107. interesting.. his zip code starts with 666

I'm not saying it means anything, just interesting. I have read of some of his previous activities and statements. This isn't surprising. What is surprising is that anyone follows him.

[Tsiyu]

108. Amazing how the experts in the Old Testament and Epistles

have never cracked open the Gospels.

"By what measure you judge, so shall you be judged."

Ooh, let's all hope Mr. Phelps ain't kinky! :bounce:

[Fed Up]

109. these kinds of people are always going to exist

so it's no use to complain about creeps like Phelps. All you can do is just sigh or turn the page.

He makes a living out of this. I think he may have a profit motive. If he turns into Little Lord Fauntleroy, where will his income come from?

110. Could people use his free "supplemental info" against him?

If a large number of people began requesting supplemental info from his website at the addresses given, but didn't donate any money to his cause, wouldn't that put a serious financial strain on his insane quest? As nutty as this guy seems, I have a feeling he'd print material until he was broke as long as he thought someone was believing the shit he was sending out before he'd call it quits.

[Buns_of_Fire]

111. By all means...

but be sure to have the information sent to:

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

(Ahem. Not that I would espouse doing anything like that, of course... O8) )

[Mark H]

113. This is the most hated man in Kansas.

Thankfully the media around here ignores him for the most part.

[arwalden]

117. Why Are So Many Christians So Bigoted? Explain Faith-Based Hate To Me...

... frankly, I think this is such a compulsion and obsession for many of them that it could be rightly characterized as a mental illness.

Where does all this hatred and bigotry come from?

[Bouncy Ball]

143. Don't ask me!

I may be a Christian but that's where the similarities end between me and the hate-filled, hate-preaching fundies.

Their God is a great big vengeful bully.

My God is loving, benevolent. And doesn't send people to hell for not hearing his name.

This was an act of nature. Phelps is out of his fucking gourd, as usual.

[reprehensor]

118. Giving Christians a Bad Name.

When you have these obscene examples of Christianity twisted into pulpits of hatred, it really screws things up for decent Christians.

Real Christians should distance themselves from this insanity.

Jesus was NOT obsessed with homosexuality, Fred Phelps is.

Whatcha got in the closet, Fred?

[Shredr]

132. He's so afraid of his own homosexuality

That he's built a world around himself of people he has convinced that God hates what he really hates about himself. Sad, really.

[thebigdonkey]

135. i wounder why this guy hates Bush. You think he would be his kind of guy.

[FellowAmerican]

136. He's a whacked out lunatic

so why even give him the time of day!

[Locut0s]

138. One of the few cases where you can put a price on human life

This guy. Oh about 5 cents give or take.
