from their press release:

NEWS RELEASE
W C to picket the funeral of Rev. Jerry Falwell - at
B
Thomas Road Baptist Church, Lynchburg, Virginia -
in religious protest and warning: "God is not
mocked!,, Gal. 6:7. God Hates Fags! & Fag-Enablers!
Ergo, God hates Jerry Falwell, Billy Graham, Pat
Robertson, and all such Arminian heretic preachers -
from fundamentalist evangelicals to openly gay
Episcopalians and pedophile Catholics - all of whom
have created the Satanic Sodomite Zeitgeist wherein
America has irreversibly gone the way of Sodom.
There is little doubt that Falwell split Hell wide open
the instant he died. The evidence is compelling,
overwhelming, and irrefragable. To wit:
1 Falwell was a true Calvinistic Baptist when he
was a young preacher in Springfield, Missouri; and
sold his soul to Free-Willism (Arminianism) for lucre.
2 Falwell bitterly and viciously attacked W C
. B
because of WBC9sfaithful Bible preaching - thereby
committing the unpardonable sin - otherwise known
as the sin gainst the Holy Ghost.
3. Falwell warmly praised Christ-rejecting Jews,
pedophile-condoning Catholics, money-grubbing
compromisers, practicing fags like Mel White, and
backsliders like Billy Graham and Robert Schuler,
Etc. All for lucre - making him guilty of their sins.

1. Fred Phelps to picket Falwell's funeral

Well, just when you think it's safe to breathe...

[flamin lib]

2. Oh! The irony of it all! nt

[marshall]

35. Politics sure makes for strange bedfellows!

Move over Fred, and quit hoggin' the blanket!

[Rick Myers]

3. Amen! Another reason to embrace religion!!!

Man, ole' Phelps really has some STRICT STANDARDS. By his arguement isn'e his OWN freakin' 'church' part of the problem??? Monty Python couldn't have cooked up this freak!

[acmavm]

4. The ultimate example of pot/kettle/black.

[leftchick]

5. irony of the century

:eyes:

[Bluzmann57]

6. Boy if anything could make Falwell look like a sympathetic figure

It's these dopes. Wonder if the Freedom Riders will be there? I also wonder if Falwell's followers will forget the "words of God" and beat them to a bloody pulp? One can dream.

[Critters2]

7. That is just precious.

You just can't make this stuff up.

[Left Is Write]

8. Does Fred Phelps do anything BUT picket and spew garbage?

[Ilsa]

9. Didn't you know? Phelps picketed The Crucifixion! nt

[rpannier]

13. That is great

You are to be congratulated on your sense of humor and timing.

[Matariki]

10. That flyer is freaking genius. I'm convinced he's a performance artist w/ an NEA grant

no other possible explanation. I mean really, the "Satanic Sodomite Zeitgeist"? That's just brilliant.

[shenmue]

11. This is hysterical

Hate hates hate.

:dunce:

:crazy:

It could cause a hole in space and time.

[rpannier]

12. That's Amazing

All fred does is picket other people's funerals.

At the rate fred is going, his funeral will be the most attented funeral in all of recorded history. It will have military families, homosexuals, liberals, fundamentalist Christians, etc all celebrating his death by picketing and dancing on his grave.

[Ferret Annica]

14. Here is my thread on this I posted yesterday:

[Berry Cool]

15. There is no point looking for sense in what Phelps does.

He's completely isolated and crazy. His entire family is isolated, cut off from the world mentally and lost.

I predict that when they implode someday, as they surely will, it will make Jonestown look like a snack break and Waco look like a weenie roast.

[Hepburn]

16. Can we all say....

...P-O-E-T-I-C~~~~~J-U-S-T-I-C-E? :hi:

[AlinPA]

17. Falwell, Robertson and Dobson sound just as nuts as Phelps with their

stupid "Tinky Winky is evil, 9/11 caused by women, Sponge Bob is teaching kids to be gay..."

[rucky]

18. He's one of the best players on our team. n/t

[rug]

19. Well of course, Falwell embraced Arminianism.

[JVS]

29. But don't you understand that Arminianism undermines the "God hates _____" fill in blank...

theology by saying that the individual can determine his alignment to God to some degree?

[rug]

36. Precisely. And Fred cannot abide that..

[JVS]

37. God hates Vanilla Fudge and Arminianism!

[rug]

38. That's it! You're now on his mailing list!

[brettdale]

20. If a left wing group picketed his Funeral

Faux and CNN will be going nuts, but they wont mentioned that Phelps is picketing it.

[JVS]

30. I don't know that this necessarily reflect political bias so much as an agreement to try to..

ignore him as much as possible.

[muntrv]

21. Boy, this will be a riot.

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[hootinholler]

22. Fucking poetic.

:rofl:

-Hoot

[TankLV]

23. Sweet - theater of the absurd...

"marriage" made in heaven...

[FloridaJudy]

24. "Satanic Sodomite Zeitgeist"

Would be a great name for a heavy-metal band! They could play a double bill with the Nattering Nabobs of Negativism.

[sutz12]

25. Wow, you can't tell who hates who anymore without a scorecard. nt

[tjwash]

26. A fundie -vs- fundie steel cage match might be pretty fun to see

Although being in the awkward position of actually agreeing with phelps about something sucks big time, and makes me want to go angry catholic on someone...

[BreweryYardRat]

27. I am far too amused by this.

[offthecurve]

28. Can't we all just get along?

O8)

[Swamp Rat]

31. Cannibals!

:D Fundies eating each other! :9

[kiki]

32. Ya know, Scientologists deny the existence of Jesus.

When the dust has cleared, we should try and sic whoever's left on L. Ron's idiot hordes. Eventually they'll all destroy each other, leaving only the sane people.

[Jamastiene]

39. You and Swamp Rat just might have a great idea in the

making there. :think:

[peekaloo]

33. Come all ye hateful.

[RebelOne]

34. I doubt the Patriot Guard Riders will be attending this funeral. n/t

[cain_7777]

40. Apparently speaking out against Phelps is an unpardonable sin against the holy ghost

2. Falwell bitterly and viciously attacked WBC
because of WBC's faithful Bible preaching - thereby
committing the unpardonable sin - otherwise known
as the sin gainst the Holy Ghost.:crazy:

[B3Nut]

41. What. A. Buffoon.

I'm not shocked at all. He's a deranged attention whore with an overinflated sense of self. I can't wait until that nest of cuckoos self-destructs. Can't happen soon enough IMHO...they're like the Taliban without the AK-47's.
