Pastor Fred Phelps' Legion To Protest 'Laramie Project'

[JohnGideon]

A Kansas-based church plans to stage anti-homosexual demonstrations outside a play and three churches this weekend in Poulsbo.

Poulsbo's Jewel Box Theater is staging "The Laramie Project," which centers on the October 1998 murder of University of Wyoming student and homosexual Matthew Shepard.

There will be over 200 counter-protestors out in force to shout these people down. Poulsbo (Pauls-beau), Wa. is a little community across the Puget Sound from Seattle. We will be out in force at the Watefront Park and on street corners to let Pastor Phelps know that he is wrong in his condemnation of Gays.

1. Phelps and family are insane.

They truly would be MUCH MUCH happier living under the Taliban than in the US, IMO.

7. I wonder, what woud it take to get him committed???

Something like two psychiatrists, and a family member?? If he is not criminally insane, then no one is.

2. Go for it!

But beware, they are terrible singers and they ALL sing hymns and watch out for those signs, do not get too close.

3. Fred would burn people at the stake...

...if he felt he could get away with it.

....he is, without doubt, one of the biggest closet cases in history. ....him and his stick-figure pornography! This guy fantasizes getting....well, I'll spare you the details.

....Fred and his "Legion" (are there any that arent' family members?) often try to bait counter-demonstrators into throwing punches so they can claim oppression and violence by the degenerates....be careful to keep it verbal...

4. gays adopting

phelps came here a while back protesting this gay couple paying a woman to have a child for them. i wish these people would mind their own biz

[SavageWombat]

5. C'mon, guys...

Couldn't you at least try to make him welcome?

Maybe then he wouldn't come back here.

Imagine going past this idiot every week.

6. I know that Phelps has got to be the craziest man in the world

I wish I could be there. I can yell loud.

[lysergik]

8. Thats ok..

.. you can keep the nutjob all for yourselves!

I'm really surprised some people/groups haven't tried to physically harm this dumbass.

[MuseRider]

9. Lovely isn't it?

I keep hoping he finds a city worse than Topeka and moves but after this long I don't think it is likely. He is certainly one thing I would never wish on anyone else but then again...........

10. Before or after protesting at a funeral??

Phelps...Absolutely fucking insane and we Kansans have to associate our State with that flaming idiot. What I can't believe is when him and his em..."associates" protest and picket funerals for gay people.

Honestly,I can't believe the bunch of them hasn't had their asses kicked severely as long as this crap has gone on. Unbelievable....

[OneTwentyoNine]

15. If they protested a funeral in Ohio, there would be some SERIOUS asskickin

I swear to god, people would read about the possibility and show up to beat some bigot asses. I'm not even gay but I would recruit gays to come to the graveyard with me.

16. Let's take a quick jaunt forward in the time/space continuum...

Fred Phelps is standing at the Pearly Gates.

St. Peter is on a break and, being bored, God took his place.
Fred is about to pee in his pants because God Almighty had decided to meet Phelps in person and usher him into Heaven!

The Lord looks down upon the "touched" Pastor Phelps and says:

So, Fred, you have dedicated your life to preaching My word to the people of Earth. You must be commended for your devotion and commitment, but you did make a serious error throughout your religious endeavors.

You see, you interpret the Bible too literal and forget that it was written by man who heard what other men told them what I had said.

Well, fred, these men made a mistake. Because I did mention creating Adam and Steve.

Your bad...How about all eternity in Hell next to Hitler and that Ferret-faced Bush?

17. Damn that Phelps and his hatred of legitamate theatre

We never could get him to protest our high school productions years ago (I went to school in Topeka,) Though we did mercilessly mock him in a fantastic guerilla theatre skit one evening. Maybe it's because some of his grandchildren went there....Though he did protest other schools' productions in the city.
