RIP (?) Fred Phelps

Re: Fred Phelps near death, also ex-communicated

It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Hey, Fart is not going to lose any sleep over it, but I wouldn't piss on the dude's grave.

 

Re: Fred Phelps near death, also ex-communicated

I'd chug-a-lug a 2-liter of Mountain Dew (which I hate) just to be sure I could give his gravestone a good hosedown.

Having seen the Westboro fucks live in action, I hope this happens.

 

Re: Fred Phelps near death, also ex-communicated

I am surprised it has not come to violence with these folks. I really am surprised.
I believe in being a peacemaker (in my real life), but I cannot promise what I would do if I saw someone picketing my loved one's funeral.
I think it would trigger something in my reptile mind that would lead only to physical, deadly violence inflicted on that person.

We can always keep hope alive.

 

Re: Fred Phelps near death, also ex-communicated

Never come to pass.
At their source, they're cowards.
They threaten to emotionally abuse these people's survivors, but they don't even get close when it comes time to grab the picket.

The Westboro folks will get a huge kick out of it if people protest the funeral. Attention and anger is exactly what they want, that's why they took the show national when locals stopped getting pissed and mostly laughed or ignored them.

 

Re: Fred Phelps near death, also ex-communicated

Seems their MO the last few years has been to say they'll protest, then pull a no-show.

 

Re: Fred Phelps near death, also ex-communicated

Probably not, since it excommunicated him.

I've always advocated the media quit covering their announcements of protests. Only cover them if they actually show up - which is less than half the time.

 

Re: Fred Phelps near death, also ex-communicated

I hope Freddy has packed the proper wardrobe because where he's going is going to be very warm.

Fred Phelps, the only guy who can get RWNJs and liberal whackos to agree on something.

This interview with Russell Brand and two of the church's members was pretty funny.
