3. Even the Chimpster would agree with that.
I wouldn't cry if I heard Asscrotch locked old Fred up at Gitmo either. Only dillemma is that it would only make it that much easier for them to get to any of US.

As vile as Phelps is, and as much as I hope God strikes his ass dead one of these days, I won't call for his freedom of speech to be restricted, least of all by this Fraudministration.

Of course that doesn't mean I wouldn't beat the living shit out of him if I saw him picketing in my town. That would be my freedom of speech :evilgrin:

2. You need to be careful
Fred Phelps is crazy. I live in KC, about 80 miles from Topeka, where his church is. The man is a lunatic. He's so bad the local media leave him alone. Do an internet search and you'll see what I mean.

He writes down license plate numbers of folks who drive by and stare at him and then he bombards them with phone calls, faxes and emails.

The Topeka city govt has been trying to get rid of him for 10 or 15 years now and they finally decided to ignore him. That would be my advice as well.

He's a preacher and an attorney and is too smart for his own good.

4. That's how they fund themselves
Edited on Fri Jul-30-04 04:39 PM by Wheaty
They fund themselves almost completely through lawsuits on people counter protesting them. I think most of the adult family members are lawyers. That's how they pay for the airplane tickets to get them where they protest.

6. He should be in prison for stalking then.
Why would Topeka government "ignore" someone who sounds like a menace to society? They aren't doing their job of protecting their citizens are they.

7. Yes you are correct.
I know these people, I live in Topeka and went to school with his kids from kindergarten through college. They are disgusting but as someone else said, free speech protects them. We live with this daily in some part of our town. I actually think that they have done some good, people are more tolerant because of the hate they spew. I have no real reason to feel this way but as far as I know we do not have anti gay hate crimes occuring and I know businesses who say their business goes up if he pickets them.

27. I very much doubt free speech protects...
...writing down plates, looking up addresses and phone numbers, and garassing people. How does this man manage to stay out of jail???

9. I think he and his whole family are just plain nuts
I'm in KC, too. He used to show up at funerals of gay me who died of AIDS with his bullhorn. That is just plain nuts.

I wondered why we hadn't heard anything about him. But what you said makes sense. The News just ignores him.

Has he ever been sent to jail for tresspass or anything?

10. No, they're not much fun at all
Sweat-glazed upper lips, intense glare of the True Believers. These people are living examples of how joyless, humorless and downright nasty "religion" can be.

Thank God there's another way.

11. Oh my God that sign on the right is hilarious
I just imagine the guy, sitting quietly at home, cutting out his sodomite bathroom icon guys. I mean, you have to seriously have some issues yourself to make such a graphic sign.

12. I've had some fun with the Phelps people over the years
They showed up at my brother's law school graduation from the University of Kansas - they protest there each year because Phelps got his law degree there, and I guess he blames them for his getting disbarred. I pulled into the parking lot and saw them (and their signs - Kansas Gayhawks) and explained to my mom who they were. She thought they were stupid. I couldn't come up with anything to do or say when we walked by them into the building. Halfway through the ceremony I smacked my head, and my mom asked me what that was for, and I told her, "I should have pinched one of the protester's butts when we walked in to see what would have happened!"

They later came to Tulsa in the late 90s to protest a gay pride parade. They were given one corner of the park to protest in, and I got across from them in a parking lot and displayed two signs, "God Is Love" and "Fred Phelps Is a Wanker." Fortunately I was bigger than any of the guys protesting, and they had second thoughts about coming over (a couple of them started to while giving me the hairy eyeball) after I pulled out three torches, lit them on fire, and started juggling. My plan was to take attention away from them to piss them off. It worked.

I ran into Phelps' grandson in the politics chatroom on Undernet. He had been there for an hour driving everyone crazy because all he wanted to talk about were gays. Some people I knew private messaged me to do something (I had a reputation) so I asked him if he thought AIDS was God's scourge on gays. Of course, it was. I asked him if he knew that the infection rate of lesbians was one of the lowest rates of any demographic group. He actually admitted to this. I then told him by his own logic, God must really, really like lesbians since he's not "punishing" them. He started calling me a blasphemer, etc. I finished up by asking him, "So since God really likes lesbians, do you think this is further proof that He is in fact a male since all the guys I know like the idea of lesbians?" He "screamed" at us then fled the channel, which I was then hero of for 5 minutes. ;)

Fortunately, they've never had the opportunity to get my license plate number. :)

That isn't a hat its a reservoir tip. He looks like he rents his head out for artificial bovine insemination. Is he married to sweet lips standing next to him?

20. I figured out a long time ago
That the worst thing you can do these people is to direct attention away from them. Several months ago, someone on this board was talking about their coming to their small town for some reason, and I think he had organized a fair in the park so that all the buildings downtown would be closed - that's where they were going to be, and I suggested having some people dress up like clowns or balloon twist for people who came downtown and direct them to the fair. Who was that? How did that go?

I can't find the words to convey the depth of my hatred for those evil pieces of white shit. I only hope that Satan is erecting a brand-new circle of Hell especially for the Bible-thumpers.

17. Please laugh at these people! They are jokes, even to rabid wingnuts
Wherever they go, people distance themselves from these nuts. They used to show up in SW Missouri all the time. The wingnut leaders of the towns, including the town fighting to keep the Christian Ichthus logo on their town seal, didn't want anything to do with them. They are an embarrassment to the reichwingers.

One of them threw fetal blood at other people. Correct me if I am wrong, here, medical DUers, but would fetal blood not be considered a biohazard? Should not charges be filed against these people for throwing blood at other people?

21. Where would they get fetal blood?
I bet it would turn out to be cow blood if tested. But it would still be considered a biohazard.

Even if not, you can't go around splashing liquids of any kind on other people. It's probably assault and battery at the least.

19. I'm pretty sure that he is, in fact,

a closet homosexual. And hates himself for it.
A sad sad person, we should pity him if it wasn't for the fact
that jerks like him inspire gay bashing and violence everywhere.

30. Fred Phelps is so obviously gay-curious
Look at that poster, the guy loves ass.

and look at the numbers moving right to left we have 3 + 1 = 4 and 4 + 1 + 1 = 6, and that leaves you with Fred's patented backwards 96, where you 69 but Fred's just staring at ass.

It's obvious.

39. The ONLY cure for these folks is a frontal lobotomy.
The best thing to do is ignore them. If that's impossible, then just laugh non-stop in their faces until they leave... they usually do. If it escalates then just walk away. These assholes come to New Orleans every Mardi Gras and boy do they get punished! Not only do gays, drag queens, and drunks screw with them (use your imagination) but they get quite a few insults. Since they are outnumbered 100,000 to 1 it's very hard for them to get their point across. If I'm drunk, I'll stand there for hours telling them, "Hey Knuckle-dragger! Quit fucking your sister!" ... the insults get much worse... it's juvenile but it's sooo much fun! :D
