It appears that the Westboro Baptist Church has picketed Mr. Roger’s memorial service:

It used to be that you actually had to be, you know, gay for Phelps to picket your funeral…
Holy crap, that’s just wrong. Picketing Mr. Rogers?! And already passing the hate down to a new generation. Hopefully that 8 year old girl mentioned in your quote will grow up and be able to think for herself.
Crap. I hate sharing a planet with the likes of those yahoos.
Obviously he didn’t think they had been getting enough attention lately.
We need to iniate a national DNFTT policy.
What next on his crusade? He lambasts Wildmon/LaHaye/Reed/Falwell/Robertson/whoever the Religious Right spokesperson du jour is for not being sufficiently anti-gay for his liking?
D’you think he’s mad at Santorum for not condemning gays (oops, I mean fags) enough?
I would check his website, but I have vowed never to give him another hit.
Actually, he’s quite happy with Santorum. Surprising – I would have thought he’d not find Santorum sufficiently anti-gay.
While I have nothing useful to add (I mean, obviously the guy needs a good, thorough beating-- what else is there to say that hasn’t been said before?) I wanted you to know that your thread title made me snort.
I wish I would have been there-so I could shove him in the Mon!
K, I don’t really believe in karma or chi or whatever. But does anyone else think that, like in a horror movie, the Westboro Baptist Church has a sickly green glow flowing up it, whilst a dark, deadly tar drips down the walls? The lightning flickers off the windows… I can see it. it’s all there!!! :eek:
How realistic would it be to orangize a picket of HIS church?
Is the pun intentional? 
I should say yes, and take credit for being a witty genius. But no, it wasn’t intentional.
It’ll surprise ya!
The orangiza!
It’s people like Fred Phelps, that make me hang my head in shame when I admit that I was born in Kansas. There actually are good people here in this state. It’s easy to overlook them in the shadow of Phelps and his ilk. This is one reason that my husband and I will move from this stateas soon as is feasible.
bo989, it wouldn’t be too realistic to organize a picket of his church. No good sidewalks on either side of the street. His church is part of his personal residence as well, and here in Topeka you can picket just about everything but a home. All but two residences in his block belong to members of his family and are connected by a high wooden fence. It’s kind of funny to see the fence snaking along and have to curve around the two houses that aren’t part of the family compound.
Did you know that Phred is now accusing gays of crucifying Christ? Of course his “logic” is convoluted, and the supporting quote is from the Old Testament, but if you are curious try

**ZB **, don’t move. We need all the good folks we can get! In spite of everything, this town and state is my home and I love it.
Oh wait-he didn’t come, just his family.
I can’t believe they came to MY city! My beautiful, lovely Pittsburgh.
sob
Zabali Clawbane, that should have been ZC , not ZB. Sorry, preview is my friend
Wow… you’re right there at the front lines, eh? Even if a picket in front of the specific place of ‘worship’ isn’t possible, it would still be great to confront the guy. I would love to have words with him. Although he isn’t the easiest guy to debate.
So, have you ever seen him out and about? Ever talked with him, heard him speak?
Don’t be so hard on yourself, Zabali. Lunatics are born everywhere on the face of this earth. I’m happy with growing up where I grew up, even if we did have our share of raging nutters. The only difference is your raging nutter found a gimmick to get his nuttiness on national TV.
Apparently, network exec’s and camera crews like bright colors and shiny things as much as the rest of us do.
