Phelps To Picket Amish Funerals

Figures. The only thing that can prevent Phelps from such a spectacular photo op is an even better photo op.

If you had posted this in the Pit, I’d be giving it a 9.3, easy. Bravo.

I’d have to say grace every evening for a month.

I think you may have missed a subtle-but-important distinction. The quote refers to the “WBC’s Gospel message”—and what Phred & cie. spew is quite consistent with that message. I’ll let the gentle reader come to his/her own conclusions as to its consistency with a certain other Gospel message.

I know the Amish are pretty much the epitome of Christian virtue and pacifism, but if one of them was to just up and say “You know what? Fuck it!” and slice Phred’s skull open with a shovel, I think it would be more or less excusable.

It’s already been said, but I believe it: why couldn’t the heavily armed loony have gone into Phelps’ church instead of some Amish schoolhouse?

There used to be a murder defense in Texas that amounted to “He needed killing.” Anybody want to invite Fred and Company down Austin way?

He’s already picketed the funerals of soldiers killed in action. You think that’s easy to top?! Of course he’s doing the Amish schoolgirls!

I’d never heard of Phelps before today. As far as the OP, he doesn’t deserve the pixels you’ve allotted to him. Best for him to remain anonymous.

:eek: How can you have been a member here for seven years and never heard of Phelps? It seems there is almost always one active thread with his name on it, not to mention news stories galore. I’m sorry that his existance was brought to your attention, as I’m sure you were much happier thinking people like that didn’t exist.

Would that I could erase the knowledge of his fetid existence from my brain. Unfortunately he’s such a bilious media slut that it’s nigh impossible to avoid hearing of some new stomach-churning stunt he’s pulling to garner more attention so that he can spread his vitriol in the name of whatever wild-haired bucktoothed crayon scribbler he calls God.

According to Ambrose Bierce’s Devil’s Dictionary This is the defination of Homicide
“HOMICIDE, n. The slaying of one human being by another. There are four kinds of homicide: felonious, excusable, justifiable, and praiseworthy”
Excusable?
No, praiseworthy.
Fuckwit.

That was beautiful!

I’m having pleasant daydreams of someone bashing the WBC to death with a 6-iron on national TV. Is this wrong?

You get a lot more bat speed with aluminum. Plus, it won’t break, so a second dose is possible, if required.

Calling Harrison Ford!

It’s the wrong club. You need one of those utility woods (actually made from metal.) It has enough loft to provide an acute leading edge, and enough surface area to form a nice divot. But once you bend the shaft your head speed goes way down. As noted above, aluminum bats are the way to go.

WAG: Freaky Freddy dearly wishes he could go out and commit a mass slaughter of the innocents, but he knows he’s too gutless ever to do it.

Oops. The second quote in post #35 is by Mangetout.

I was actually picturing a sharp wooden implement from either the sport of Archery or the Javelin toss. A sharp inplement would be better at injecting a dose of a medicinal product.

It might even help it get into the bloodstream faster if it were set on fire just before launching it at the patient.

I was watching Fox News earlier and I’ve noticed something about how they cover Phelps stories. They never ever say the word “Christian.” It’s a “protest group,” a “radical group,” an “extremist group.” etc. but they avoid the word “Christian” like the plague. I know that Phelps is about as Christian as Saddam Hussein but that is still their nominative, self-identified religion, so it’s curious that they so studiously avoid mentioning that fact. If it was a Muslim group, they’d insert the words. “Muslim” and “Islam” at a rate of about 8-25 times per minute.
