Will you picket Fred Phelps' funeral?
All new DUers: Fred Phelps' coal black heart pumps the viscous oil of hatred. You can read everything you need to know at http://www.godhatesfags.com.

Fred Phelps is picketing soldiers' funerals. This is a big stretch for him; he used to only picket gays' funerals.

Since he's such a loving man, and because he fucking needs it, will you picket Phelps' service when he dies?

1. I wouldn't want to give him that much attention.
I'd rather ignore him.

20. Exactly
He'll be a footnote in the history of civil rights in short time.

2. I'd laugh and celebrate
and I'd be tempted to shit on his grave.

It's a shame he's lived this long a life already.

3. Right.
I'll be there, carrying a big sign that says "Fred Phelps is Still an Asshole - God"

4. What, is he dead?
Edited on Wed Jun-15-05 05:19 AM by Dulcinea
Your headline gave me pause!

Oh well, when he does croak, he will certainly go to hell, if there is such a place.

5. I'd party. Big time. I would be very glad that he was dead.
None of this "oh, he's a human being and we can't be so callous and cruel" crap that I've seen on here when someone dies (like the Pope). Fred Phelps is evil personified. I'll be cheering his death. Personally, I'd want to drive a stake through his heart (if there is one) to make sure he WAS dead. Maybe I could set his corpse on fire to make doubly sure.

8. Yes. I'll take any opportunity I can to stoop to his level.
Edited on Wed Jun-15-05 07:56 AM by Telly Savalas
On edit: Furthermore, it would also help direct attention toward his cause.

11. He says the war is God's punishment on America
In a way he's right...and in a way he's dead wrong.

He's wrong about why God's punishing us. Yup, Phelps says God is punishing us for allowing homosexuals to live.

This is completely wrong and Phelps knows it. God is punishing us for not throwing George Bush in jail in the 1970s, when all he was doing was running oil companies into the ground.

21. Phelps' cause is Getting On Television
I swear, this fucker loves being on television. I guess he figures that if he can get on television every day, one or two more people might come to his church.

He needs more parishioners. All he's got right now is Phelps family members.

10. Fred Phelps sucks Satan's Cock In Hell

God's Ferret is Fisting Fred in Hell

15. Hey, that's a great idea!
Because then they would have to go to Hell to picket Satan with "God Hates Fag Devils" signs, and chances are, Satan wouldn't let them leave :evilgrin:

12. No, but I'd support building a monument for Fred Phelps.
Just like he did for Matthew Shepard.

23. You can't compare the Phelps memorial to the Shepard one
This is because someone would actually allow you to install the Phelps memorial.

What's it gonna say? "Fred Phelps entered Hell on (insert death date). 'Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.' (Matthew 7:21-23)"

18. I've said before that I will. And, I'm near Topeka anyway
I can assure you that I will be there with signs like "God hates Fred Phelps" or "Satan welcomes Fred Phelps".

Maybe we can even start a fund to build a monument to his entrance into hell.

27. For just a second I thought I had missed his obituary.
I will not shed any tears for him on the day. I also will not imitate behavior that I find reprehensible. May God have mercy on his soul.

31. "Picket" is such a mild word!
Generally, I like to believe other human beings are basically good.

Not this guy. I don't know what quirk of genetics or environment made him what he is... but it ain't human.

Showing up at his funeral would be a waste.
