Do you see a difference between Fred Phelps and Tom Coburn?

[Clintonista2]

I dont.

[TSIAS]

1. Yes!

One makes a total ass out of himself picketing funerals with a few dozen of his followers.

Coburn makes a mockery of himself on the Senate floor with assasine statements.

Cobusn appears to be Phelps without the initiative to make a total fool out of himself in public.

Of course, I realize this is just another attempt to smear Obama.

I'll turn the question on you. How is Rupert Murdoch different than Joseph Goebbels?

4. The difference:

Theres a difference between accepting political contributions (as Hillary has done), and being best friends on a personal level with people like that.

5. Also

Goebbels did not broadcast The Simpsons.

2. Phelps is a bigger idiot

[TheWraith]

3. Yes. In terms of insanity, Coburn is minor-league compared to Phelps.

Coburn's best contribution to humanity will likely be as fertilizer.

Phelps would probably poison anything that tried to feed off his corpse.

6. Yes: Coburn is far more dangerous because he is one of 100 senators

Phelps is a sideshow that no one outside of the political junkie world knows about. Coburn has the power to do real damage to millions of GLBT people. Coburn is equivalent to David Duke being a U.S. senator, only the object of his hatred is GLBT people and not racial and ethnic minorities.
