What i don't understand is : how are these people allowed to picket funerals ? Is it a constitutional right ( ie 1st Amendment )?

Secondly, why are Phelps and co, who, afaik, are considered nutjobs by even the most devout evangelicals, given so much empowerment via press access?

Only in America

Unfortunately, while these people are featured in tv special after tv special, interview after interview, appearing almost certifiably bonkers as they reel off scripture ... just ignore them. Stop taking them seriously - Stop empowering them, Americans.

Fred Phelps gives great head. I popped him in the bunghole last night. He squeeled like a little girl with delight. This is all an act.

I completely agree with the heading to this blog! People like Fred phelps should not be allowed to spread hate (and cause others too hate) as he does.

Heath Ledger contributed more in his short, gifted life than Phelps and his ilk will in generations.

I personally believe that there should be a physical revolt against This man’s group. If the American government won’t massacre them, then another group needs to deal with them. Until that day I will be wishing willfully. And I will enjoy seeing the blood of his children splatter over my face while I rape their corpses (although I don’t think they’ll get it up, they are ugly bitches) Maybe we could just get the FBI to raid the house of every Westboro Baptist and hang them one by one. Children first so their mother’s and father’s watch in horror. And at the end of it all, it shall be recorded, every bit of that slaughter, shown to Phelps, and he will suffer death by 1000 cuts. I am a new zealander and sadly have absolutely NO power to do this. But I simply hope that all the gangs of America and the government ally for one day of lawlessness and ignorance of human rights of the Westboro Baptist Church.
Thank you for the blog. And I pray to whatever God exists that one day our wish will be granted

these idiots are the worst kind of human,they have gone lower than the worst criminals in history,i’m sure we can find some ancient chinese torture methods to kill them real slowly,if it was my way id use surgical techniques to open them all up and have them see their organs (YES EVEN THE CHILDREN). They are simply homophobics with attitude exaggerating from the bible.they are probably doing incest. we should put them under phsyco analysis in order to find out what triggered thier homophobia.We should kill them.The world will be one step closer to being a better place. As far as a person like me might be concerned they are helping the devil achieve his plan by getting rid of free speech.after that, its basically over.They must have a dodgy version of KJV.There are more books not listed in the bible that say that there are demons who can be directly identified as being in contact with these dogs. we need to deal with them. before they do somethingneven more stupid. They still have their chance, lets take it away from them…
