Freepers In A Panic Over Fred Phelps Picketing Soldiers Funerals

[ruggerson]

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1421695/posts


I have something to tell you Freeper bigots: Fred Phelps is you. He is a Freeper. His entire family are Freepers. Every thread about gay people on your sick twisted site might as well have been inspired by Fred Phelps.

When the world sees Freak Republic, they see Fred Phelps. There is ZERO difference.

[tmorelli415]

1. Why? He's doing their bidding...

it is republican policies that Phelps supports and personifies.


Take a good hard look at this Bible-justified hatred of 'faggots', Republicans. When you see Phelps you are seeing what the world sees when they see YOU. Philps = Republicans. Repubicans = Phelps. You are one in the same, a match made in Heaven. Your hate is his hate, and his hate is your hate! Pick a side - ours or his - you're either with or against us!

God, guns and gays! Kill the killers! God hates fags! Welcome to the Republican party!

[stevans_41902]

8. considering that Fred Phelps almost won the vote in Topeka

that would allow discrimination against gays in the workplace. I bet a lot of Freepers voted for Fred to discriminate against gays. Its amazing how they can support him in one area, but then think he is horrible when he pickets the funerals of soldiers who died in Iraq.

[sasquatch]

2. What a colossal asshole

Jesus, is there anybody this guy doesn't hate.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

3. They're all a sick bunch of mofos

Both Phelps and the Freepers

[Neshanic]

4. They have a "hate partnership". Every state recognizes it.

You are right. The Freeps and Phelps have a "domestic hate partnership". Everyone knows it, and it's sanctioned by the Republican party.

Where are they registered?

[acmavm]

5. I went to that site once. Never ever will again. So now I'm afraid I have

to ask, what have they got their shorts all in a bunch about now?

Out of curiousity, do they think that they can just disassociate with people like Phelps, a truly evil slimey buckets of guts, whenever he says something they don't like? He is their creation. They gave him an audience when he started preaching his disgustingly indecent message of hate and bigotry. What's the problem now? They think they can pick and chose when to support their nasty little idol? I think not folks. He's scum, and he's their scum. He owns them and vice versa. They need to live with it.

NOW who's wearing the :tinfoilhat:, dumbass?

[countmyvote4real]

13. If that's the case, they clearly know right from wrong.

Although I will neve understand how they can choose to be false right.

[deadparrot]

15. There's several.

I'm surprised they haven't found a way to pin it on Clinton and/or the Clenis. Mainly it's Gore, the ACLU, and the NAACP.

Ironically enough, I'm watching a show on the History Channel about the concept of Satan right now.

[BrklynLiberal]

7. Schadenfreude

I have no pity whatsoever for them. They made their bed, and now they have to lay in it. Let them twist and suffer. Too damn bad.
What is that saying...if you lay down with dogs, you are going to wake up with fleas. Of course in this case, that is an insult to dogs...and fleas.

[deadparrot]

9. They're all so hateful.

Pretty sick, really. I can't eve comprehend some of the stuff I read over there. That someone can be so angry at (and promote violence towards) whole groups of people for no real reason simply blows my mind.

BTW, for tonight's

Fred Phelps is a left-wing plant:

Don't fall for this cr@p!

These guys are a phony-baloney agit-prop group. Their founder is a Democrat and worked for Al Gore. Believe me, if they were really as anti-gay as they appear, the ACLU, Act-Up, GLSEN, and PFLAG would have been all over them by now.

Their purpose is to make everyone who opposes the "gay" agenda look bad. They are straw men that the pro-sodomy crowd can point to and say, "See, you're just like Ken Phelps!"

And by the way, yes, he DID say "Ken Phelps."

[magellan]

50. 'Their purpose is to make everyone who opposes the "gay" agenda look bad.'

Yeah, right! Like anyone could POSSIBLY make FReeps look worse than they do all by themselves!

[geek tragedy]

10. I LOVE this exchange:

Freeper 1: God does not hate. God is made of love.

Freeper 2: Are you a pro-homo troll?

[deadparrot]

12. I died a little when I saw that.

Died laughing, that is. :rofl:

[geek tragedy]

18. If the Freepers heard Jesus preach about Faith, Hope, and Love, they'd

think it was a drag show.

[MidwestTransplant]

29. They would say he is a Marxist.

[geek tragedy]

30. Nah, they'd call him an America-hating jihadist. eom

[deadparrot]

34. And gay.

Actually, they'd call him some nasty word for gay. But the idea will be clear enough.

[Taxloss]

75. Why do you hate Roman Judea? nt

[chalky]

20. Oh, Good God! Now they're SURE it's them damn liberals:

Please consider the possibility that this group is not real.

This is from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_provocateur:

"Agents provocateurs are also used against political opponents. Here, it has been documented that provocateurs deliberately carry out or seek to incite counter-productive and/or ineffective acts, in order to foster public disdain for the group and provide a pretext for aggression; and to worsen the punishments its members are liable for.

Some people have suggested that Phelps is running a false-flag operation. This strikes me as plausible. Lookee here to see why.

Mr. Sling's "Lookee here" is a link where he Googles "AL GORE FRED PHELPS" which (natch) brings up a host of RW paranoia-boogety-boo links that state Al Gore as Phelps' stooge, or other perfectly innocent sites that proove the boogety-boo sites wrong.

God forbid that they wander into Wikipedia and read the dreaded words:

"In the ensuing four years, Phelps (and consequently Westboro) turned against Gore for his and Clinton's decided pro-and-neutral stances on homosexuality. "

Christ almighty, but these people are BEYOND REDEMPTION.
:mad:

[deadparrot]

28. You assume far too much.

First and foremost, that they would ever comprehend anything that went against their rigid moral standards (from which, ironically enough, THEY are the only ones exempt).

Prefer a God who will smite and bring wrath down on cities that don't see its way.

That's NOT Fred Phelps!

This is Phelps.



(Replied to wrong person, sorry)

[DisassemblingHisLies]

11. They finally speak out against the religious whacko's

perhaps because they've seen that the polls reflect the vast majority of Americans have had enough. They're trying to distance themselves as though they're on higher ground, but anyone who would support this corrupt administration isn't any better than the religious whacko's. Both are ignorant.

[FreedomAngel82]

19. But I thought

that was us?? I thought it was only democrats who did that?

[DisassemblingHisLies]

69. These people go with the wind.

Now they've been forced to see the religious whacko's through our eyes.

I seem to remember them rolling with the tide on the Terry Chiavo issue & that blew up in their faces. And they can chastise the religious whacko's hatred all they want, but they're no better. They're just embarrassed to be associated with them, now that public opinion has clearly spoken for the last 7 months.

[Lexingtonian]

14. He's more like Jim Robinson personally

Not just vicious and vile, but out to make a very nice profit off the morans. Those six-person "demonstrations" may not achieve anything political, but they do keep misanthropic crones and elderly psychopathic geezers mailing in their Social Security checks and life savings. Winning causes lead into bankrupcy, lost causes are all profit.

[Erika]

17. true

Freepers love those non-thinking checks mailed in. Just like Jimmy and Tammy Faye did.

[FreedomAngel82]

16. Felps is so sick

This man is so sick. Why is he targeting soliders funerals?? He should be targeting George Bush but we all know that'd never happen.

[The_Casual_Observer]

21. some sloped headed individual over there took the opportunity

to throw some punches at a "homoloving troll". Quite a bunch criminally insane shits over there.

[shifting_sands]

22. Freaky Fred Phelps

The Fred Phelps family picketed the funerals of the Columbine students who were shot down in Colorado. They caused quite a stir, Denver was very upset by this group. The signs they carry are just sick and horrible. The Fundies will run from them like Christians everywhere are running from the fundies or trying to. The Phelps family is so over the top they indeed could be James Dobson's best friend.

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. Good point

He is more like a freeper than they are willing to admit.

And I hate to break it to you, but I have always heard from my friends in Topeka that Phelps is a registered Dem.

[ruggerson]

24. So is Zell Miller

There are the occasional misfits who's views run counter to their own party. For example, there are also a few (very few) good guys in the Republican party. Bill Weld springs to mind.

[geek tragedy]

25. And Lyndon Larouche.

But Phelps sounds like a Repug, walks like a Repug, and quacks like a Repug.

[deadparrot]

27. Many hateful people are/were registered Democrats.

However, I suspect any love affair he might have had with the party is over. I don't see any pics of them protesting the Republican National Convention last year:

http://www.godhatesfags.com/photos/lastyear.html

[tavalon]

38. You said:

For example, there are also a few (very few) good guys in the Republican party. Bill Weld springs to mind.


What immediately popped into my head?

Joe Lieberman doesn't spring to mind.

On the other hand, he did, as a Zell Miller.

[shifting_sands]

59. Fred and the Republicans

I'm not sure whether it matters if Phelps is a Dem or Repug, there is enough hate in both parties to go around, however his daughter ran for public office in Kansas as a Republican. I'm not sure how people get information but I do know that Moveon.org has my Representative listed as a Republican when she isn't and never has been. She's tried to get them to correct it but so far they haven't.

[kiki]

26. Well, at least he's going to the funerals.

Perhaps George felt bad about not attending any and sent Fred along to make amends.

[WildEyedLiberal]

31. I love how they're defending God's "hate"

Because a "loving" God is obviously a buncha liberal bullshit, and pro-homo propaganda to boot. These disgusting hypocritical Pharisees would crucify Christ all over again if he walked among them.

[go west young man]

32. Man that is some psychobabble they've got going on over there.

I never realized how weird freepers are. But that thread takes the cake. Fucking bunch of loonies. Quoting the bible and taking shots at each other at the same time. One person talks about love and the others want to disown em.

[redacted]

33. That's just nuts. Phelps, that is. Mentally ill and all. Did you read

the fliers? His crazy explanation?

Look the freepers even seem to see that this guy is going down the Branch Davidian path. I hope law enforcement is watching them.

And they think we wear tin foil hats. ha!


PS. There is a difference between Phelps and FR. A big one. They are 2 entirely different kinds of mental illness. Even the FR can see this guy is crazy.

[NMMNG]

35. These people are so twisted

They denounce Phelps and his crew, yet when one of them claims "God is Love" they pounce on him like rabid dogs reminding him that no, God is a vengeful bastard (complete with all sorts of quotes where God hated so-and-so and made people suffer).

These people don't disapprove of Phelps and his minions. They are just like him, sans the public demonstrations. Hate filled, small minded, people who would prefer to see a person dead over seeing him/her "different".

Pitiful.

[Tsiyu]

42. There's the distinction, eh?

"God is a vengeful bastard, so we will be vengeful bastards!"

Okay, who died and made THEM Gods?

[ET Awful]

47. They don't mention that the majority fo the people that "god" "hates"

are people like them. :) You know, the type that preach hate. The type that claim to be righteous while screwing over everybody around them and claiming it's God's will. The type who would kill innocent people for fun and profit, etc.

[SammyWinstonJack]

56. That's sounds like bu$h**

"The type who would kill innocent people for fun and profit."

[NMMNG]

73. Nuh-uh

god only hates people like the homer-sexuals, ho's, single mothers, po folk, ethnics, non-christians, and libruls. :sarcasm:

[salin]

51. heh.... on the board - that is speaking to freepers

one says: "Just because they say they're Christian, doesn't mean they are."

ironic, eh.

another says: "No real Christian is this hatefilled."

[Initech]

36. This should seal the deal. Phelps needs to be committed.

To a maximum security mental facility.

TRACY
Anti-gay protesters opposed by 20 times as many locals
Jim Herron Zamora, Chronicle Staff Writer
Sunday, June 12, 2005

Tracy, San Joaquin County -- Thirteen members of an anti-gay church from Kansas who picketed a high school graduation Saturday were met with about 250 counter-demonstrators, 30 police officers and numerous residents annoyed to see divisive protest in this normally quiet town.

Carrying signs reading, "America is Doomed" and "God Hates Perverts," followers and relatives of the Rev. Fred Phelps traveled about 1,800 miles from Topeka to picket the high school graduation at Tracy High because they were upset that students at a different high school in Tracy gained administrative support for resurrecting their chapter of the Gay-Straight Alliance.

[Behind the Aegis]

39. I can't say this in the title of my post.

FUCK THE FREEPERS

It is "OK" when this asshole and his minions protest the funeral of a gay-bashing victim, but not a soldier?!?! What if the soldier is a "Sodomite, faggot, AIDS-infested, child molester (favorite slurs by by this Krew)?" Would THAT be OK? I bet the few dollars I have (since I am still unemployed after two years because the economy turned the corner...and plunged down the stairs) that these freeps would be "A-OK" if that hateful, evil, soulless, heartless, POS bastard, protested a GAY or LESBIAN soldier's funeral!

They were VERY quiet about the governor of Texas, Perry, when he said that gay and lesbian troops returning home, should find another state. Is that how they "support the troops?"

Freeper logic = it is OK to protest those nasty faggots, even the ones that died in service to this country, because it's "against G-d's will!!"

So, lurking freepers, YOU are what is wrong with this country! You expect people to die for the right to free speech, but don't allow others to have THEIR free speech! YOU expect to have YOUR "freedoms of speech and religion" protected, but anyone that dissents or has another religion or no religion...well, they should "get the fuck out of the country!" So, if you, lurking freeper, wonder what is wrong with the country...run to the mirror...right now...and you will see why our nation is in such trouble!

[Daphne08]

40. Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church

are as dangerous as any Moslem fundamentalist group.

[TWiley]

41. I met phred phelps.

He came here to lead the bigots in an attack against area churches, and a gay night club.

He was accompanied by several overweight women who where holding signs that said "God hates Fags". I began to tell the heavy women that God hated them because they defiled his temple, in fact, that they were an "abomination" in the eyes of the Lord.

Things got rather loud after that.

The next day (and this is the absolute truth) I saw phred and those same women at a local civic park, and there was an army drill instructor leading those gasping hulks in a round of calisthenics while phred sat in a pick up truck.

hmmm, I thought, these odious vermin can be trained to eat their young.

[Tsiyu]

43. How Funny!!!!

:rofl:

[Tsiyu]

44. Well, there are only about 12 of them on FR, I heard

so it doesn't give me a lot of hope that they may be seeing how their hatred is sick and inhuman. Do they talk about Cheney's daugher like that over there- with the lesbian bashing? Does their beloved VP know how much they hate the Vice President's daughter?

Honestly, I know the Freepers will come to this bait so here's my meesage:

I agree COMPLETELY with ruggerson. Fred Phelps IS you. You have stroked his ass and his ego for years, even if only by spouting your non-Christian, unAmerican hatred for anyone you don't like.

From what I've learned over the past few years - from lies to get into Iraq to Jeff Gannon to fundies protesting dead soldiers' funerals ( and I can promise you, no progressive would even CONSIDER doing this. We use our WORDS unlike you cruel, heartless wackjobs; we don't try to break a mother down when she is grieving over her dead child) there are at least 6 of you 12 who will be over here before long.

Take a shower, clean off the scum of your hatred, and reform yourself, because you don't have much time to get on the right side of things. Come away from the darkside, into the light of the Constitution, and away from cruel people who talk, think and act like Phelps. Even if ony one of you 12 joins us and disowns the rabid Freaks, I will feel this message to people I wouldn't normally even acknowledge is worthwhile.

Oh, and once you're here, PM any of us and we'll link you to a good dictionary!

[annabanana]

45. ahem.. this guy is a WEDGE ISSUE for them....

They can't decide if God is Love or not.

(seriously.. I just held my breath and went over there)

[last_texas_dem]

46. That was bizarre

At the beginning of that thread, some of those FReepers were sounding downright liberal. I guess worrying about the image their fellow wingnuts project causes them to get fearful enough that they actually sound (almost) sensible.

I knew I was in the right place when they started jumping on the guy who said that God was about love, not hate...

[Bluebear]

49. And they figured out that it must be a "left wing" operation

All that travelling and acting just to make the right "look bad". :crazy:

[Skittles]

48. REAP WHAT YOU SOW, FREEPERS

you promote this kind of sick, twisted hatred and YOU KNOW IT

[KG]

52. it's time to TASER the haters, TASER fred phelps!!!

[burythehatchet]

53. wait a minute

someone bombed their building? Where do I send money?

[Kansas Wyatt]

55. Gee, it looked like the Freepers were describing the Republican Party.

[atommom]

57. They're alike in their homophobia, but in truth

Phelps hates Republicans as much as he hates anyone else. He's a crazy man with a small band of family members that he's broken and brainwashed into his own image. So while it's tempting to lump him in with the freepers, he doesn't really fit there. He's so single-minded in his hatred that he has picketed many people that the freepers revere. He has picketed against GW, for example, and against Laura.

[DinahMoeHum]

62. Why? It's one of their own.

[Ganja Ninja]

64. Take a good look in the mirror religious conservatives.

The reflection you see is Fred Phelps. Do you really want someone like that setting down rules for society? Believe me if Rev Fred had his way you would be living under his rules. And there's plenty more just like him out there. Perhaps they aren't as nutty but they're just as overbearing. This is the problem with religion and government not being separated. You can't open the door without letting in a pack of these types of lunatics.

[atommom]

65. I just have to say this ... please don't shoot the messenger ...

but Phelps is a registered Democrat. As far as I can tell, he hates everyone in politics (both parties), so I assume that the party affiliation is left over from the old days when he was a civil rights lawyer. He obviously doesn't agree with the Democratic platform -- he'd be more at home with the religious right, except that he hates them too (they aren't hard-line enough for him).

In a nutshell, he's a nut, and he's in his very own category. :shrug:

[in_cog_ni_to]

66. What a bunch of hypocrites!

They spew their hatred of gays on a daily basis and now they are upset that Phelps is acting on the hatred they spew??? GEEZUSFUCKINGKRIST! Their hypocrisy knows no bounds!

Phelps and all those freepers are one and the same! How DARE them feign repulsion for what Phelps is doing! THEY INSTIGATE THAT SHIT WITH THE BIGOTED CRAP THEY SPEW!

67. Can anyone spot the hypocrisy in this post?

68. Their idea that Phelps must be working for the Dems

is really telling of just how these people think. Republicans think it is perfectly logical to do despicable and evil things just for political gain. Personally, I couldn't possibly imagine doing the things Phelps does, no matter how badly I want to remove the republicans from power. I just couldn't live with myself if I said such vile things and hurt so many people.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

72. this guy hates everyone

and thinks everyone but his little circle (and probably some of them, t00) are going to hell.
