Apparently, God has told Fred that China is full of Filthy Fags and Even More Filthy Fag Enablers, so he and his entire troupe are going to fly to Beijing and picket the Olympics.

Something tells me Fred hasn't been told about the Chinese secret police...

1. Maybe there is a God and it has a wicked sense of humor.

[JHB]

3. Perhaps, but nahhhhhhhh!

Occam's Razor says Fred & Co. are just self-absorbed idiots.

[CrispyQ]

5. I love that you use the pronoun 'it' for god.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

When I was a teen, I was criticized harshly in confirmation class for asking, "If god has no gender why do we refer to god as 'he' all the time?"

[mtnester]

13. THAT I would pray for

please oh please oh please

[pinto]

2. Eventually they'll have to picket themselves...

it would seem to follow the mindset. :eyes:

[dysfunctional press]

4. i'd be shocked if they're even given visas to enter the country.

they don't look too kindly on rabble-rousers over there.

[Vanje]

6. By your headline, I thought, Phelps was leaving this earthly realm

....like maybe he was real sick or something.
I was reading to see where and when the funeral might be.

so I can get a sign painted up and go picket the services.

17. I guess I can put my dancing shoes away for a little while longer

Dammit. My disappointment is boundless.

7. look for a new event this year

the Phelps family toss where national teams will toss each member of the Phelps family. The winner will be decided on length and height of tosses combined.

8. When he and gang return to USA 8 years from now....he will LOVE Cheap Chinese Prison FOOD

[shadowknows69]

9. I'll kick in for the ticket

And make a nice big "Democracy Now!!!" sign for them to carry.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

10. Somehow, "China" and "picketing" don't seem to go together

But, yeah Fred. Go picket. Tell us how you like those Chinese prisons.

[wtmusic]

11. Fred is a self-solving problem

Patience.

[Marrah_G]

12. OMFG no way..................

Do they not know China will throw them in prison? Do they not get that our government won't protest the arrests?

I would love to be a fly on the wall as state dept employees continuously lose their letters begging for help.

The ones I feel sorry for are the children. It's not their fault they were born into such a fucked up family. Now they may well rot in a Chinese prison along side their demented elders.

[yardwork]

15. China will never let them in the country.

Too bad.

[jmowreader]

19. The letter our government will send after Phelps is busted

Dear Chinese Government:

We understand your government arrested The Reverend Fred Phelps, pastor of the world-renowned Westboro Baptist Church, during a peaceful protest his congregation conducted in your country.

That's okay with us. You keep him.

20. ROFL !

[JaneQPublic]

14. I'm looking forward to seeing Fred stare down the tank on Tiananmen Square (nt)

[undeterred]

16. He doesn't have the courage.

And if he does, they'll turn him into a throw rug.

[JaneQPublic]

18. True, Then I'm looking forward to seeing Fred turned int a rug. (nt)

[A HERETIC I AM]

21. Just tell the Chinese government he's Falun Gong.

He and his troupe won't make it out of the arrivals hall at the airport.

[jmowreader]

25. They won't even need to tell them that...

"Ah...Reverend Fred Phelps...we understand that you claim to be a Christian minister."

'Yes, that's right, I am the senior pastor of Westboro Baptist Church, Topeka, Kansas.'

"Reverend Phelps, please do not tell our government about this, but we too are Christians."

'Well...that's fantastic!'

"We have read your website...God Hates Fags dot com. It is a very unusual website."

'Well, I thank you. Do you believe the truth of my ministry?'

"Reverend Phelps, you appear to have a very inferior understanding of the Bible. We feel that the quality of your Christianity is even less than the quality of the cat food that was made with the melamine-tainted flour some of our criminals sold to your pet food manufacturers earlier this year."

'What are you saying?'

"Reverend Phelps, do you know what happened to the criminals who made that food and killed American cats with it?"

'Noooooo...I'm afraid I don't keep up with Chinese criminal trials.'

"Reverend Phelps, after a fair and impartial Chinese trial conducted by a judge whose cat had died from that food, our government sentenced those criminals to death by shooting. I must tell you that I was given the honor of executing those criminals with the pistol I am carrying on my belt. I must also tell you that the honor of trying you for international fraud has fallen to Senior Justice Liang, whose nephew was killed in Iraq in a traffic accident and whose funeral you picketed."

...a long pause...

"Reverend Phelps, would you like another chair? The one you are sitting in seems to be full of urine."

[BreweryYardRat]

22. Heh... heh... heh... Hahahahaha!!!

As far as I'm concerned, if the Chinese are willing to send back the children these asshats bring along, they can keep the adults!

Darwinism in action!

Man, I wish George Carlin could have held on long enough to hear about this.

[JoePhilly]

23. I'm hoping the Chinese government welcomes him with "special hotel accommodations".

[ColbertWatcher]

24. They will try martyr themselves.

They are hoping to get arrested or something so they can relish their victimhood.

[dems_rightnow]

26. You only get to be a martyr..

... if someone gives a shit about you.

[ColbertWatcher]

27. True, but that won't change how they believe everyone gives a shit. n/t

[SalmonChantedEvening]

28. Fred, please try and sue China if they don't let you protest?

What a fun time that'd be :evilgrin:
