Army Hospital Picketers: 'Thank God for Maimed Soldiers'

[ECH1969]

The man responsible for the "GodHatesFags.com" and "GodHatesAmerica.com" websites picketed the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., Thursday with a dozen of his family members and followers.

They carried signs stating "Thank God for Maimed Soldiers," "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" and "God Hates You." "God almighty is punishing this evil nation by killing their kids over in Iraq and by maiming, crippling and mangling their kids over in Iraq,".

Phelps believes military personnel share the blame for court decisions and legislation favoring homosexuality, even if those service members do not support that lifestyle.

1. All that does is highlight how truly sick and disturbed Phelps and his

inbred stock are.

4. ole phelps musta had one heluva rodeo in his past

Protesting too much defines his being. And his intense support network is always in the dozens. fred should just get back on his knees and loosen up.

5. Tell me again, who hates America?

Us or them?

6. How long before a bunch of vets beat the shit out of Dobbs?

I'd give it about three days.

7. I work in D.C.

And I'm a vet, and I'm getting real tired of Phelps and his inbred group.

Not sure what I'm doing this weekend!

9. Protesting at a hospital is just way, way out of bounds.

I thought they hit the lowest point possible when they protested at military funerals but this is too much.

And when they do get the beatdown, I bet the cops look the other way.

8. Did anyone read the closing paragraph?

"Members of FreeRepublic.com and TroopsSupport.com immediately took up positions on all four corners of the intersection at the main gate to the hospital, waiving American flags and displaying signs supporting the troops."

Hmmm......

13. If Phelps was picketing a funeral of a gay man ..

they'd be passing out water to the motherfucker.

10. May they get what they deserve

Pretty soon someone will snap and give it to them.

11. What's a jackass like Phelps

to do? He can't do the funeral thingy the way he wanted to now he has to do something.:shrug:

They were at my concert last weekend as they usually are but this time they had speakers and microphones and their singing was very loud and upsetting to some of our audience coming to the concert. I heard them singing about perverts and fags and Brokeback Mountain to the tune of "Country Roads" and various other creative lyrics. One guy was out there with a loud speaker making noises at them, one guy was yelling at one of the teens with them. It was quite disruptive.

Something tells me that a parent of one of the wounded just may decide to take ole Freddie on.

12. Why is it phelps runs free but cindy sheehan gets locked up?

14. How has this man gone so long without getting his ass kicked??

That's what I wanna know.

[Salviati]

17. LIkely because in order to give him the ass kicking he deserves...

you'd actually have to touch the slimy piece of shit....

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

15. I am sure that all Christians are

hanging their heads in shame over this man who pretends to represent the Price of Peace.

16. If I were a little closer......

I have all weekend off and have bail money. I would love to help Fred see the error of his ways.
By the way, Fred is trying really hard to suppress his homosexuality. There is nothing wrong with being gay. Fred just can't accept his sexuality so he is lashing out at his "demons".

19. It may be true, but I'm tired of hearing that homophobes are closet cases

Sooner or later, somebody always suggests that the violent homophobes are really suppressing their own homosexuality. Seems to me that this is just putting the blame back on gay people. It's entirely possible that violent homophobes are exactly what they appear to be - violent straight people.

I speak from experience. It took me 45 years to realize that I was a lesbian. However, all those years I thought I was straight, I did not dislike gay people! In fact, most of my closest friends were lesbians. I find the same thing with other people who took a while to come out of the closet. They usually got along just fine with other gay people.

Most homophobes are straight.

20. You are probably right yardwork.

My apologies. I sure would like to smack him around a bit though.

[yardwork]

21. I didn't mean to gripe about your post - no offense taken or intended

I think you and I are in agreement about Phelps and I know you didn't mean any offense in your post. I used to say the same thing until one day I realized, "Heeeeyyyyyy, waitaminute. All these people bashing queers are straight! Let's start pointing that out."

Edited to add: Your post made me laugh, too. Loved the comment about "I have bail money."

18. I'm 53 years old, even if I live another 53, I'll never understand...

...what drives these people.

They seem to be all over the place with their hate and vitriol. Why don't they all get jobs? They'd then have less time to do this kind of thing.

[NaturalHigh]

22. I would have no problem...

with any soldiers who were healthy enough going outside and beating the piss out of these turds.
