Fred Phelps: Time to consider retroactive abortion

This is just so depressing. This "minister" is so repulsive. His "church" so excreble. Who in the name of God sets out to hurt people when they're burying their children? How can this man sleep at night with the pain and anguish he's caused?

I'm inclined to the view that "Rev." Phelps' speech is protected here and if he's the price we pay for a First Amendment, the price is very high indeed.
While I wouldn't advocate any violence against him I wouldn't exactly lose any sleep if the ageing process were dramatically speeded up in his case.

Re: Fred Phelps: Time to consider retroactive abortion

The irony, of course, is this piece of garbage protesting those protecting the very rights he's exercising.


My brother is in Iraq right now. This man makes me sick to my stomach. But... much like the KKK in Skokie, IL, as long as they're not on private property or infringing on anyone else's rights...




I just threw up in my mouth typing that. I'd proudly wear the cuffs after knocking this ******* out if I were the brother of this Marine.

I disagree.

I advocate a slow painful death.

May God protect your brother and all the others. Actually in Skokie it was the Nazis. Remember the line in Blues Brothers: "I hate Illinois Nazis." Their leader was a guy named Frank Collin (sp) and he was subsequently popped for child sexual abuse. Imagine that.

I seriously wish one of his idiot followers would do the slightest bit to the Patriot Riders to allow them to invoke self-defense. That person would never walk again.

A guy on another MB I'm on posted that Phelps was protesting this weekend near his place and asked the collective there if he should just ram his car right on thru their little protest. The overwelming response he got there was "No, he shouldn't run them over with his car." He should go get something bigger like a Hummer with added brush guard, dump truck, and/or snowplow with the big front blade on it.

Honestly, the whole WBC should just be Nuked from Orbit, just to be safe.

Didn't someone have a temporary insanity plea upheld after roughing up one of Phelp's buddies?

They were in my town 4-5 years ago protesting outside a middle school. Yup. Middle school.

Re: Fred Phelps: Time to consider retroactive abortion

When I see creeps like Phelps exercising their rights unmolested I'm always kind of grimly satisfied. It's one of those times when our system passes a very hard freedom test and shows it's more than just talk.

If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind. -- J. S. Mill

I believe the best way to destroy these creatures is let them destroy themselves. That works better than censorship, violence or martyrdom, as again and again criminally insane individuals have tapped into the sympathy of vast groups of social outsiders because they were commonly oppressed.

It would be nice to believe in an afterlife, though. Eternity would not go well for Mr. Phelps.

Yep- my kid was at that school. I was disappointed that no one countered that but the lack of response was probably more effective. It was covered but they looked pretty foolish.

I would love to see the spam guy who worked around all the filters (until they arrested him) figure out a way to reroute all the junk email into their contact us box.

I wonder why no one has figured out how to do a snail mail campaign to flood them with Bible quotes or something.

Exactly. Collectively we should mokusatu Phelps. Don't counter march, don't video tape, don't interview. He needs the attention. It's not his life's ambition to rage against ho-mo-sex-uality in an empty parking lot with no one around to see or hear him.
