So, my brother went to the recycling center the other day to drop off some newspapers. While there, he noticed a rather old bundle of newspapers and magazines…like, 1960’s old.
It would seem that someone (we’re guessing someone who recently died and whose family is tossing out his old stuff) was a bit of a Kennedyphile. Newspapers and magazines from the JFK and RFK assassinations, as well as other various events in the lives of the Kennedy clan.
My brother knows I like historic newspapers, so he brought them home for me. And there on Page 5 of the November 24, 1963 edition of the New York Daily News is this pic.
Wonder if the “warning” the guy gave JFK was “Don’t be a fag enabler”?
Nope, Phelp’s dad had nothing to do with his ministry career. They were estranged early in Fred’s life, almost as soon as he was a legal adult. But there is a picture I once saw, from even earlier, of Phelps doing street preaching while he was at college in California.
Here’s a good article about his life. It was from 1994 I think
Heh…sorry the title was misleading. I assumed this had nothing to do with Phelps and his clan – I was just struck by how similar this 1963 image is to one we see all the time from the WBC nutter bunch.
