2. I thought he was going to get shot protesting soldiers funerals

Let's see if the idiot makes it through this. Don't think there will be much crying over him if he doesn't. What a sad and tormented man he must be.

6. That man needs to be ignored.
He's an attention whore. When his protests against gays got old and stopped making headlines, he moved on to soldiers.

In fact, I'm no longer going to even respond to posts with his name in them!

7. people need to ignore this guy
he's just randomly attaching his inbred family to every news story (last week it was the miners) in an attempt to piss people off, so that he might get a lawsuit from either being driven off or beaten up. his family includes a few lawyers and this is all just a get-rich-quick scheme at this point

10. I plan to protest Fred Phelps' funeral when he's gone.
Acutally, I'll probably bring along a hibachi and tailgate. Burgers, hotdogs, and brewskis for everyone. We'll sing songs and celebrate.

Then, as the casket passes, we'll all turn and tell the mourners "You have no power here! Be gone before someone drops a house on you!"

14. Yeah, but then you would have to hang with his disgusting family
I like the tailgate idea, though.

18. Great photo. I was down there yesterday.
And yes, Fred Phelps is a sad, mentally disturbed person.

19. Cool! Great to hear from another Michigander. Heard the weather?
Wouldn't you know it. No snow in January, and 5-8 inches predicted for Detroit for Sunday. Oh well.

21. I heard nothing but compliments about the city
from out-of-towners yesterday. Everybody smiling, everybody happy. Everything was clean. Cops everywhere. Even the cops were on their best behaviour. I was really hoping for better weather for Sunday.

25. I would love to have dinner in Greektown tonight. Or Mexicantown.
Which restaurant? The Laikon? Golden Fleece? New Parthenon? New Hellas? Got a hankerin' for some stuffed grape leaves. Or some mighty tasty Mexican/Central American. Hope the restaurants are making big bucks. They deserve it.

11. Attention whore
With a severe personality disorder. I'm very frightened for the children of his followers, because this is like an extreme cult, and God only knows what he's rationalizing in the name of God. I know to depths of my soul something sick is going one. Reminds me of a Jim Jones type. I wish he would just go away

15. When it comes to Phelps, there's little I won't believe
Fred Phelps' capacity for outrage is unmatched by any living person, and most of the dead ones.

This shit just keeps getting better all the time. Chug two bottles of antiemetic and head over to godhatesfags.com. On there you will learn that five states are working on laws to keep him from protesting funerals, either by outright banning his doing it (which is just about half a degree from being a bill of attainder since he's the only person in America who does this) or by implementing a 2000-foot safe zone around the funeral in which there can be no legal protesting. Phelps says he's going to sue on First Amendment grounds if the bills pass.

Phelps also says that if the families of the dead soldiers simply keep the military and non-family-members away from the funerals he won't protest. In other words, if the soldier's unit or any of his friends wish to say goodbye to him, Phelps will be there.

And he calls the bikers who rev their engines to drown out the sounds of Phelps' protests "fag enablers."

I think some of you guys are right...do you think Phelps is a bottom or a top?

20. Dude - they don't play that shit down here in the A-T-L
People don't take kindly to when you disrupt/disrespect the final laying to rest of a civil rights icon.

The irony is that I'm betting he'd take a brick to the head at the funeral of a woman who worked for non-violence all her life. Hopefully it won't come to that (but I'll smile just the same if someone does bean him).

26. Yes, even though we are in the South, she was a much-admired
person and I think this idiot should think twice hefore coming here to protest because I can guarantee that he will be run out of town.

32. well, isn't that special.
With the gay bar violence and the six churches burning in Alabama, the bad old days are just around the bend if these epic a-holes have anything to say about it.
