Fred Phelps' brat was on Fox...
And proceeded to make a total ass of herself. Naturally. :eyes:

That said, there is an argument to be made over the wisdom of Fox News to validate WBC by having on Margie Phelps, attorney and member of WBC, to discuss the ruling. Yes, they have a Constitutional right to Free Speech, but like Glenn Beck, they have no such right to an international multi-media platform from which to speak.

I'm always dumbstruck by those self-identified Christians whose message seems to completely ignore the one of love and non-judgment that Christ himself taught. Like Gandhi remarked, these Christians are so unlike Christ that the real abomination in my mind is calling themselves such.

Phelps, who declared that "the default for mankind is hell," stated that she had no "objective indicator" that will prevent the Supreme Court justices from going to hell, and declared the president's fate without hesitation.

"Absolutely on the president. That's a big 10-4," Phelps said. "The president is going to be king of the world before this is all said and done, and he is most likely the beast spoken of in the revelation."

The beast is a figure in the New Testament book of Revelation, which is full of apocalyptic themes.

"Unless you bring forth fruits, meet for repentance, the assumption is that you will end up in hell when you quit your life on this earth. There is a duty of every human to bring forth fruit meet for repentance. I have seen no evidence of that in a single leader in this nation," she said.

You know, I'm reminded of this John Fugelsang video.

Westboro Baptist Church's only successful protest continues to be their boycott of every single thing Jesus ever said.

10. Jim Jones on Fox? No way.
He was or at least claimed to be far left and a socialist who in truth hated religion. According to his son Jones had a good heart and a very very sick mind. I don't know if its true or not but the good heart part is more than I can say for most on wall street. At one point he said "I came under the guise of religion to destroy religion." Granted the guy was totally fucked up in the head but not Fox news messed up. Now Manson would get along well with them. Just to be clear I am in no way endorsing Jones.

18. Fox would've interviewed Mussolini !
The political analogies with Jones and Manson are Moot. Dems and Reps were both bullshit to the anti-war "left wing" of those times.

Those two men were older than the young pliable free-love Boomers and wickedly used them. Like all despots through history, they brought out the worst in their followers.

Is she referring to these lovely biblical passages? They sound like the ravings of a lunatic, oh wait, she and her dad and followers ARE lunatics. And if this is the shit they look forward to, perverse lunatics.

19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; (19:17-18)
"Come ... unto the supper of the great God."
An angel calls all the fowls to feast upon the flesh of dead horses and human bodies, "both free and bond, both small and great."
19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (19:20-21)
The beast and the false prophet are cast alive into a lake of fire. The rest were killed with the sword of Jesus. "And all the fowls were filled with their flesh."
19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

12. She's a blasphemer.
It clearly states in the Bible that ANYONE who presumes to know the will of God blasphemes.

15. Why are you even watching that network???
I'm not sure I understand why people complain that they are giving a platform to WBC when you know what their agenda is, to begin with.

Can someone explain for me?
