Dear Fred Phelps,
Just a quick note to let you know that you are a batshit crazy moron, and your protests are an affront to humanity. To insult the memory of a soldier and bring further pain on their family is reprehensible and puts you into the category of human excrement.

That being said, I will defend to the death your right to hold your foul protests, and your right to be an asshole.

Love,

Dave Reynolds.

p.s. I really think God probably does love "fags".

a very rare commodity for me.

5. I can hide my sarcasm well,
and even toads like that get my standard letter opening.

9. Probably not a bad guy,
once you get past his hatefulness and dementia.

Okay, maybe he is a bad guy.

28. I know some racist, bigoted people in real life who have redeeming
qualities.

He's not like them.

11. I'm certain that Dog loves 'fags'
I'm not too sure how she feels about Phred Felps, though.

12. Just stop. Please.
Every thread, news article, camera crew, etc just feeds the monster.

He's sick, but he's smart. He and most of his devil spawn are attorneys and know the limits of the law.

All the anger, all the publicity, just feeds the monster. It's exactly what he wants. I live in Kansas and I have learned that the best way to defeat Fred is to ignore him. Kind of like when you are training a puppy. When they really need attention, they don't care if you are praising or yelling. Either way, they are getting your attention. So the best way to deal with some behaviors is to completely ignore them. They will then stop the behavior and move on to something else because all they are interested in is your attention.

Please don't take this personally, this post applies to all who post on Fred, sometimes multiple times a day. He is without a doubt the most vile of humans, but he grows stronger with every thread, article and tv piece. I know it will be difficult, but we have to try!

On a side, I made a rare trip to Topeka yesterday and couldn't believe my eyes when I passed by a church and noticed a giant banner reading "http://godhatesfags.com". Yep, I had stumbled upon the infamous Westboro church. A few blocks down the road, his devil spawn and followers were all out on the corner near with their hateful signs. I gasped when I read the banner and my client and I spent a few minutes talking about how despicable they are and said they owned most of the houses surrounding the church. Scary! Hello, Waco.....

14. I just used him as an example
of my defense of the 1st Amendment.

He seems to be the most recognizable hate-pusher lately, and many posters would love to shut him up.

There is a problem with shutting someone up because we may strongly dislike what they say, as such things could be applied to us as well.

:hi:

13. Wait, God's a smoker? And He's English?
:evilgrin:

Oh, another good P.S. would be "If God hates fags, why does he keep making them?"

15. No didn't you hear he hates fags. He's still English
Edited on Thu Feb-23-06 05:36 PM by izzybeans
but he quit smoking just last year. It's in fact made God quite gay. He smiles constantly. And his teeth are bright white.

21. I think he is just so filled with hate
he protests indiscriminately.

Same message, different target.

Now, if we can just get him to go to the White House.....

25. Phelps will go to the same circle of hell the rest of Bushco are going to.
And trust me, it's going to be the biggest circle of hell yet. It'll include Bushco, the pundits, and his brain-dead support base.

26. There had better be lots of room,
pack a stove too tightly and it cannot properly burn.

29. So, then Freddie is really confused
by the whole "fruit" thing. He should use the term literally, and not as his little slang slam.

There is a lot of Newton eaters in biiiiiig trouble.
