Phelps To Picket Amish Funerals

This would be pit-worthy but the man has become so self-parodying now that it would be laughable if it wasn’t in such poor taste.

Everybody’s favourite bible-thumping, fag-hating, protest-organizing moron is now going to picket the funerals of the recent Amish school massacre.

If it wasn’t before, it’s even more evident now that Phelps is in dire need of a Haldol prescription. Preferably delivered by a wooden sporting implement.

That man is so insane he shouldn’t be allowed out around normal people. He seriously frightens me - anyone who craves attention** that** much…

Horrible, but I think the best thing we can do is laugh at these morons.

Ah yes, a video of Phelps Jr getting hit on my a reporter. Hi-larious.

As I’ve said before, what is truly scary is not Phelps but the coterie of slack-jawed acolytes he has around him believing his shit.

I don’t even know what to say. There are no words.
They’re little kids, for Pete’s sake, innocent little girls. They didn’t do anything wrong.

Phelps is an asshole of the highest order.

I thought that when I read that the killer had molested a 3 and a 5 year old 20 years ago, and did this because he was ‘feeling guilty’ this story couldn’t disguest me any more than it has.

This latest tidbit takes it further than I thought it could go. People truly sicken me.

Phelps isn’t people. Phelps is some sort of weird alien entity who never figured out how to act human in order to blend in.

It’s very hard for me to wish death on someone, but I don’t see how the world wouldn’t be a better place without Phelps.

It does make one wonder, if there were a God, would he not send the crazed gunmen to Phelps place and not to the schoolhouse?

I thought for sure this couldn’t be true when I read the title.

Those poor Amish. They likely aren’t even familiar with that hatebag. Here are people who are devoted their lives to humble living and praise of God only to have to read “God hates Pennsylvania!”

I wonder if these people have ever had to experience anything as trying as this?

Any god that views slaughtering young girls as a legitimate method of punishing the governor of a state is not a god I want to have anything to do with, much less worship.

I don’t have a problem wishing death on Phelps at all.

“Rendell also revealed a conspiracy to employ the State’s police powers to destroy WBC in order to silence WBC’s Gospel message.”

Here’s the bit that gets me. We Ok, the pain that the families of those poor children will feel on top of what they’re already suffering is what gets me but that goes without saying.

But what gets me here is that the WBC has no Gospel message. They got aint got no good news for anyone. They have no message. They don’t want to convert anyone, they don’t believe you can convert anyone. God wants you (if you’re Fred Phelps) or he doesn’t. They (he) really want nothing more than to piss people off. Gospel message indeed!!

Amen.

Well, it depends on what kind of god you believe in. Is he just? Merciful?

A just god would send the raving psycho to Phelps’ church. :smiley:
A merciful god wouldn’t send him anywhere at all. :slight_smile:
Which leaves the type of god we apparently have. :frowning:

It’s just his family. That’s all he’s got.

I think we need to find the bagpipers or the Harley riders. This guy is just an attenion-seeking whore trying to insert himself into the Story of the Day.

I’m sure if something happens in Florida, he’ll blame Floridians for electing Mark Foley and that God is punishing us.

He doesn’t have any acolytes aside from his own children and grandchildren.

According to wikipedia:

You will all be relieved to know that the picket of the Amish girls funerals has been cancelled (ugly pdf) apparently in consideration of having Westboro Baptist’s representative on the Mike Gallagher show on Thursday from 10 to 11 a.m.

Set your Tivos!

I don’t pray, seeing as how I’m a godless heathen, but I sure do wish Phelps would get killed by a lightning strike, preferably at one of his picket parties. Something like that would go a long way towards convincing me God actually exists.

I couldn’t believe it when I read it either – I thought it might have been a parody piece, but I’m finding it harder and harder to believe how this guy can possibly take two completely unrelated events and tie them togther under the absurd pretext of religious retribution. This fuckwit’s craptacular douchebaggery just boggles my brain to the point of exhaustion trying to figure out how so many neurons can misfire simultaneously and in such perpetuity and still allow him to form enough coherent sentences to rally his inbred troops around the flag of asshattery. Any other human being on the planet regards the events surrounding the Amish community as a tragety. For Phelps it’s a photo op where he can harangue completely innocent people and ejaculate his twisted religious beliefs.

Eventually, someone’s going to give him a .357 calibre enema. And if I witnessed that event I’ll describe the perpetrator as old, wearing flowing right robes and a halo.
