Does anyone know where I can find a picture of Phelps? I swear, I DID see him on Ricki Lake years ago-I just read he was on there, and I remember seeing a preacher who said that God hated Gays. ---

They’re now on my site, to prevent adding hits to his.

I think that’s the guy. Not entirely sure, but it probably would be. What a fruitcake! ---

You know, in reading Phelpster’s statement that “The Rod of God hath smitten fag America” [sub]That’s an interesting piece of imagery for a homophobe like Phelps to use, don’t you think?[/sub] I’m reminded of what one of the survivors of the Johnstown Flood said when someone asked him if he believed the preachers who were saying the flood was God’s way of punishing America for being so sinful. “If that’s God’s way of punishing us, he sure had poor aim.” the survivor said and pointed to the brothels on the hillside, all of which were left unscathed by the flood. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tuckerfan \* > **That’s an interesting piece of imagery for a homophobe like Phelps to use, don’t you think?** Good point. Of course, you’ve heard the conventional wisdom on that topic: the degree of disgust a person expresses for homosexuals increases in direct proportion to their love for Judy Garland albums. C’mon, Phelps. Put on a dress, redecorate the compound, and join the twenty-first fucking century, already. ---

Jesus H Christ! That is one seriously fucked up individual. I clicked on the link purely and simply because I coulden’t understand what the fuss was all about, bear with me before you get mad, a fag to us brits is a cigarette, and well I’m slow tonight. > [@](#): > > _originally posted by Guinastasia_ > I’m reading his bio over at [http://www.godhatesfundies.com](http://www.godhatesfundies.com) I read some of that and I have no words to express my revulsion. ---

That turd-smoking cock-cheese is planning on picketing one of the funerals for the pilots. David Charlebois died when his plane struck the Pentagon. He was apparantly openly gay, and Phelps thinks it would be a [good idea](http://www.godhatesfags.com/fliers/sep2001/God_Hates_USA_Part_10_9-18-2001.pdf) to add to the mourner’s pain. Follow the link at your own peril. This is the evil I’ve spoken of before on the board, the evil that must be faced and faced-down. I _like_ the idea of contributing to gay and liberal causes in his name. ---

I realize I speak the obvious here, but why are you guys giving this freak show valuable space on our server? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tranquilis \* > **Phelps thinks it would be a good idea to add to the mourner’s pain.** I think it’d be a GREAT idea for him to show up at the funeral. The little shithead got away with picketing Matt Shepherd’s funeral because the attendees and mourners were, in all likelihood, non-violent types already. Given the massive outcry against Falwell’s comparatively benign (though still repugnant) comments, I suspect it’ll take more than a ‘judo-trained’ grandson to save Phelps if he shows up at this one. (Sorry, Ms. Guinastasia…I know you’re all for peace and love, but **some people need an asskicking**.) Perhaps someone should get the smackdown on video, and sell copies of **that** for the AIDS foundation. ---

I think Lopez from the 98 Rock morning show said it best on Sunday: > [@](#): > > **Guys like that are just a few turbans away from bin Laden.** Hate is hate. Whether you openly admit that you hate someone or hide behind a misinterpreted Bible verse, it’s still hate. ---

Well, see, I’m all for punishment in this case. Strap him down, and force him to watch _Manos: the Hands of Fate_ and the uncut version of _Mitchell_. The spectacle of Linda Evans giving head to Joe Don Baker ought to do it. ---

Oh sh–, spoke too soon. It’s back up, and now they are going to protest at the funeral of one of the pilots of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon. As if they didn’t go far enough…let’s see them protest at the funeral of the guy who helped jump the hijackers on the 4th plane.
