We did it!! Phelps leaves Moorhead will not protest funeral.
Edited on Tue Aug-02-05 08:34 AM by KyndCulture
This is on the local Fargo news this morning. Phelps left Moorhead with his hateful bunch of assholes and will not protest Sgt. Opskar's funeral procession.

Instead a show of peace and solidarity is planned along 8th street in Moorhead today and Gov. Pawlenty has ordered all flags flown at half staff today.

Get the fuck out of Minnesota you bottom feeding cretin.

I'll try and find some links for this. NOT the Fargo Forum, however who have the story all wrong as usual, bastard republican rag that it is.

I should be able to make it down for the show of peace and the moment of silence, if the weather holds out I'll get pics.

4. No there isn't.
He said he's leaving Moorhead to go to Ohio.... he's running away to a Red state I guess.

I'd like to stay on these bastards, and get every community as organized as we got here in the Fargo-Moorhead area, maybe they will stop this horror.

5. How did you guys get rid of him?
Also, I was amused to read a freeper thread where they all hate phelps too, and decided he's a liberal. Apparently they missed his protest at Gore's and Clinton's family funerals.

6. I'm still unclear on the specifics but here's what I know.
The MN State's Atty office got involved yesterday, as well as Gov. Pawlenty's office. About 200-300 people called the Gov. office between sunday and yesterday. The Moorhead Police Chief was also involved as well as the VFW of Fargo-Moorhead. A large counter-protest was being staged between the church and Phelps group. Sometime late yesterday Phelps decided to go to Ohio.

There's a short story on the WDAY website on it.

http://www.wday.com in their video section.

The Fargo-Forum says the peace protest had nothing to do with Phelps, HORSESHIT... it had everything to do with Phelps and in my mind from speaking with members of the Veterans groups yesterday it was not going to be pretty.

My thinking is the Police wouldn't guarantee their saftey and personally I sure wouldn't have, there were some hopping angry retired Marines here.... Phelps was stepping into a blue hornets nest this morning. I don't advocate violence of course, but I had my doubts there would be anything peaceful about today.

7. So was Opskar gay?
That's usually the only time the pig-fucking hatemonger shows his face.

Being from outside the area, this is a new story for me.

9. Here's a link to the story with Phelps assbackwards logic
http://www.radionewsamerica.com/index.php?blog=2&p=6698&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1


It had to do with how Sgt. Opskar was killed, with an IED... pig fucker believes the gov't used an IED to bomb their hate-dome in Kansas in 1995.

10. Even Freepers have no love for Phelps...
Warning: Be prepared to bathe afterwards and prepare yourself for these freep whack jobs trying to assert that Phelps is a 'plant' working for Democrats while you're there. Also, there will be a few media lies about Matthew Shepard repeated, but that's par for the course at this hate site.

I must say, I find it absolutely hilarous to hear Freepers of all people call someone else "senseless, cruel, and heartless", but it just goes to show how Phelps has no support on any side of the aisle...

13. Excellent! I'm glad that Sgt. Opskar's family won't have to deal
with these jerks protesting the funeral. Let the family grieve in peace fer chrissakes.

Getting Phelps and his bastard followers to flee MN with their tails between their legs is a good start. Now if we can get them all to leave the planet, that would be even better. Hmmm...I wonder if NASA will be looking for people to "test drive" some prototype replacements for the shuttle. I'd nominate Phelps and his buddies for that job in a heartbeat.

16. Well Princeton needs a visit from the Moorhead VFW.
From what I understand, the scene was never gonna happen to begin with...


Princeton is pretty small, I'm sure the pig fucker thinks no one will try and stop him.
