Fred Phelps demoted from “weasel” to “pond scum”.
I really shouldn’t be surprised at anything that Fred Phelps does anymore. The man is sick, bigoted, at least marginally insane, and has a very poor grasp on reality. He’s already shown that he has little to no respect for the dead, after his plans to picket the VA Tech funerals and his insistence on the reasoning behind the shootings - but I can’t help but be disgusted that he’s at it again. Now he and his followers are planning to picket the funerals of those who died in the Minnesota 35W bridge collapse.
Why? Because God hates America, but apparently has an especial grudge against Minnesota. That dirty, dirty state. Minnesota has gays, you know, and doesn’t seem to mind us so very much. Apparently that calls for God’s retribution.
Taken from a press release from Phelps’ website, godhatesfags.com:
Thank God for Minneapolis Bridge Collapse
WBC to picket memorial service for the dead, in religious protest and warning: “God is not mocked.” Gal. 6:7. God hates Fags! & Fag-Enablers! Ergo, God hates Minneapolis and Minnesota - Land of the Sodomite Damned.
WBC will also picket the funerals of those whom a sovereign God abruptly snatched from the Bridge in Minneapolis and cast into Hell…
Annoyance at gratuitous caps aside - how cracked do you have to be? I really wish that Phelps would do something worth arresting him for - arresting him, and locking him away for good. It’s very unlike me to wish harm on other people, but I’m allowed to wish that he bring harm on himself, aren’t I? No? [sighs] Okay, okay. Likely anything he did worth being jailed for would end up harming someone else, anyway.
Just…can’t we find some way to remove this man from society? He’s a blight, a polluted and poisoned version of the sidewalk prophet with his bell and pasteboard sign claiming that the sky is falling. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I don’t understand how anyone can think being so hateful is in any way doing the work of any god, unless your god is one sick son of a ****. From what I’ve heard from other Christians, that ain’t the way your god rolls, yo. Someone needs to clue Phelps into the peace and love thing.
And someone needs to tell Phelps that he is slime, pure and simple, for continuing to disrespect the dead and the families of the dead during already trying times.
Tune in later in the weekend for my thoughts on the LOGO presidential candidate debate. I’m too brain-burned for intelligent political discourse today.

He’s a candidate for vivisection if ever I saw one.

…I… am only gaping at this. Every time I see an article about Phelps, I just end up going, “…dude did WHAT?” He’s incomprehensible.

Maybe I should fly to the US and whack this guy over the head with my clue bat… >_>

As a Christian, I continue to be utterly embarassed and sickened by that anti-Christ idiot. Once more, his blasphemy in trying to imply he has the holy power of God’s judgement over humans, proves that he needs to be shut up already. I just wanna grab n shake him and say “What ever happened to the Ten Commandments, ***hole?!”
He’s going to completely traumatize so many people involved in this horrible tragedy, probably turn them against any sort of faith… heck, that’s probably his agendy. It’s definitely what he’s doing to a lot of people through his brainwashing.
I totally agree, someone needs to realize he’s a danger to society in more ways than one, sowing the seeds for hate crimes, siding with criminals… It’s time for someone with authority to put their foot down and cite his pure insanity. :/

And here I thought I couldn’t get any MORE annoyed with all the hoopla concerning the bridge. Thanks.

…You’re too nice, Adi. He reached “pond scum” in my mind months ago. =P

The Westboro Baptist church just put out a rap video called Big Fibbin’ after Jay-z’s Big Pimpin rap video!
