Guess who’s hosting Meet the Press in hell? Fred Phelps says it's recently deceased newsman Tim Russert.

In a 4-minute video harangue, Phelps scolds Russert for molding “public opinion for the devil”; condemns “jackasses” James Carville, Wolf Blitzer and Tom Brokaw for eulogizing the journalist; and denounces Russert’s religious beliefs as “Roman Catholic voodoo.”

If you want to see it yourself, the video's after the jump.

1. So did a lot of DU nt

[Catherine Vincent]

2. Wrong. Not a "lot" of DU.

It was only a few, imo.

9. And I didn't see ANYONE here thanking God he was dead

[Catherine Vincent]

15. That is true.

I've mostly read instead of post in all the Russert threads and I don't remember reading where someone thanked God, he was dead.

[Dreamer Tatum]

21. Yeah, I should have said what #11 said.

retracted.

[Hekate]

24. Well, those "few" posted over & over & over & over then. And some of them did wish him in Hell.

This has not been DU's finest moment. IMO.

3. Oh bullshit

Criticizing his journalistic work is not the same as thanking God he is dead.

5. I wonder about some people's ability to reason.

Or think. Or comprehend.

Honestly.

8. Sometimes, I don't even WONDER.

:hi:

[Lex]

12. Yeah, it's pretty obvious, isn't it?

:hi:

10. Let's see: Phelps twists Russert around to condemn him according to a certain agenda...

...and some DUers did the same thing.

Stings, doesn't it?

[Lex]

16. Let's see, you twist Fred Phelps' words around to smear DU'ers

to fit your own little agenda and version of reality.

Nice going.

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. Phelps thanked God he was dead

Please post a link showing where any DUer did that.

[Richard Steele]

18. ...and then you do the same thing to some DUers' opinions. Very Phelpslike of you.

4. You are so full of it.

Pathetic.

[Seedersandleechers]

6. Who on DU thanked God for killing TR?

7. Sheer codswollop. nm

[Fla Dem]

11. Not much worse than what has been posted on DU. eom

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. Oh yes, criticizing his support of Bush and the war is exactly the same thing

as thanking God he is dead!!

[Lex]

23. WRONG.

14. Does anyone really care what Fred Phelps thinks?

Hasn't he made himself irrelevant yet?

[AlCzervik]

19. Fred Phelps will probably figure out a way to protest his own funeral.

and i'll just stop right there.

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. Well you replied to the OP

[Blue Belle]

25. Oh... you caught me!
