When I heard the news about Bob Hope dying, my first comment to my mother was “Well, I wonder what ol’ Phred will have to say about this?” It took two days, but he vomitted out another waste of Adobe Acrobat resources.
This isn’t news. News would be Phelps actually mourning the passing of somebody. Heck, anybody. I surprised he didn’t blast Strom Thurmond for being soft on gays.
Just because their name is prominent. There isn’t a dead celebrity that they haven’t ragged on. Princess Diana was another one. Or any number of people here in Topeka. Several years ago a police helicopter crashed and Phreddie had a fax about how God personally threw the copter out of the sky, to repay the Topeka police for their sins against the Westboro Baptist church.
Their picketing is designed to get maximum attention for them.The churches the WBC pickets are mostly on main streets with lots of traffic, although well attended church off the main drags get their share of attention. Any event that gets a lot of people will, in all likelihood, be targeted by the WBC.
Unfortunately, you’re looking for a logical answer. But someone as crazy as Phelps cannot provide one.
He’s nuts. Simple as that.
I don’t even know why anyone bothers pitting him anymore, because he’s just a freak. I mean, when JERRY FALWELL says you’re too hard on gays, well, that should give one pause, don’t you think?
Just wait for a publicly-“celebrated” homophobe/straight-supremacist to die. Or get something bad happen to 'em. Then Phred will probably have to make a whole new batch of signs and slogans and such (oh my!) about someone who does not have his last name but, in spite of this, actually has better than a snowball’s chance in Hell of landing anywhere but there.
Depends on if they think God is fag-hating enough to join them in everlasting … whatever they’re gonna be doing once they die. If they suddenly decide He isn’t punishing fags enough, then maybe they’ll start picketing Him. Dunno how they’d do that, though.
Anyone else think it would be an amusingly ironic twist if God decided the part of the Bible He really meant was the bit about judging not, landing this guy an economy class ticket to the Crispy Quarters?
I’m really impressed; only one piece of clipart, and it’s scanned in within 10° of vertical! It loses a few points for inventing the word “pecksniffian”, but gets a bonus for making me look up the word “perfidy”, which sounded like something Chef would say.
