And on a fresh page too. How convenient.
His remains should be hermetically sealed in a carbon-fibre coffin and a mountain parked over it.
It’s bad enough we have to breathe Hitler atoms.
Well, as someone who lives just about an hour away from WBC, I can say I won’t be attending his funeral.
The Phelps clan are trolls. I’m sure at some level they really believe what they’re spouting, but I also know they crave attention more than they crave the need to inform people of their beliefs. I don’t plan to give them any.
Freddies dead
That’s what I said
Let the rap a plan
Said he’d see him home
But his hope was a rope
And he should’ve known
It’s hard to understand
That there’s love in this man
I’m sure all would agree
That his misery was his.
Dump him in a hole and forget about him.
I was discussing the excommunication business with CoBa, and we figure it was an effort to divorce the cult from the personality. Pushing Fred out before his death was probably preparation for holding things together when he kicked off, with a dash of power play mixed in.
Hard to even do the most human “condolences to his family” when some family members broke with him early because he was a jerk, and the others later broke with Phelps because they were bigger jerks. AFAIK they think that because he was dying, and there was no second coming, it means that Phelps was dying thanks to sin.
You could go picket it.
Give my regards to Saint Peter. Or whoever has his job, but in hell.
There’s no wrong reason to listen to this song, so I’m doing it now.

My favorite comment so far, via Frank Coniff (TV’s Frank from MST3K) on Facebook: “May he rest in hate.”
For all the attention he got, he was never more than a two bit carnival geek, a religin based version of GG Allin or a flip-side Anton LaVey. He made a nice villain to boo and hiss at but he wouldn’t have been on the list of the Top 10,000 Enemies of gay rights. He had no political power, just a modicum of fame that anyone who’s willing to abandon any kind of shame and decency and publicly roll around in excrement and point at passersby with a stick that’s exactly pointed enough to be legal is bound to gain. If anything he GAINED sympathy for gay rights by making perhaps a few people see “he’s really just saying in public what my church says in quieter and more polite language” and by building bridges between the families of dead gays and dead servicemen by his clan’s increasingly promiscuous and random protests.
But as far as actual damage, a thousand legislators on the state and national level could be found who are FAR more dangerous to the cause of gay rights. Not one gay couple was ever denied the right to marry or adopt a child and not one gay employee was ever fired with impunity because of anything Fred Phelps did.
But, whatever. I hope there’s an afterlife just long enough for him to be the official prison bitch of every overly endowed circus freak who ever got sent to Hell.
I find it ironic that they can ask for privacy during his funeral. I guess they forgot that verse about reaping what you sow.
Then I hope the doctrine of Divine Favor doesn’t extend to the area of penis endowment, or else this won’t be possible (and Forrest Tucker sits at the right hand of God)
Or in a casket made of solid lead which is buried in an underwater subduction zone and taken into Earth’s mantle, like nuclear waste (although in life he was far more toxic). That way he can’t return as a lich.
I could. Not going to though. It’s not even a “you’re just sinking to their level…” Thinking. Fuck that. You want to protest, go for it.
I’m just saying that they’re trolls and I think on some level, even in mourning, they’d enjoy having all this attention lavished on them. I’m not feeding that .
Fred Phelps has finally done something to make the world a better place.
If you picket his funeral, then you’re as bad as he was.
Yeah but no.
