Phelps again. It speaks for itself.

Target du jour is a less objectionable one- John Stewart and Steven Colbert, but he's still just a petty ass, and he's not happy they picked on him awhile back.

Someone needs to murder this Phelps guy.

Bad Idea. The last thing his cause needs is a martyr.

Better yet have him publically raped by gay men with AIDS alone with his church. Than have sign a statement that he liked it. No martyrdom than and its such poetic justice.

Sorry about that. Its just my lame attempt at a joke and was exceddingly stupid to write.

Jesus christ. What is it with people and advocating absurd solutions to problems? In most cases, such solutions ad darthkommandant's are not funny and serve no purpose. If you want a serious solution to a problem, make it simple. Just throw his ass in prison for advocating hate. Problem solved.

How else are they supposed to prove to everyone they're not soft on terrorists/violent criminals/pedophiles/Nazis? It's EXTREME!

Phelps is on the brink of death. The sad thing about that is you know his funeral will be conducted in secret and in private. That and his entire clan is poised to succeed him.

The only thing Phelps deserves is to be ignored.

I wouldn't kill him, I'd probably save his life if in such a situation; I accord him that dignity even if he doesn't accord me the same. But when he does die, I will heartily not give a shit.

Darth Raptor · Post by **Darth Raptor** » 2006-09-09 12:53am

I've come to the conclusion that the WBC is a net positive for the gay rights movement. Especially once they started going after soldiers. Granted it sucks to have them picket your funeral, but when you look at the big picture, pretty much everyone who matters thinks they're a bunch of assholes.

Everyone pretending he doesn't exist is probably the best way of dealing with them. It probably wouldn't even take Phelps getting killed for them to play the martyrdom card. If they did something like tax evasion and law enforcment went after them for it, they'd probably claim they were being persecuted for theri beliefs.

If gay rights activists picket his funeral, do you think we'll see Alesia-style reverse-picketing from the WBC people?

That's just it, his "church" is a fucking gated compound. They'll inform the press of his death on their own terms and have a private, secret memorial service. Giving him his own medicine is an impossibility.

You're too generous. I wouldn't kill him but I wouldn't save him either. I'd be too busy thinking how much better the world would be with him out of the picture.

Skywriting is the answer.

Guardsman Bass · Post by **Guardsman Bass** » 2006-09-09 10:28am

Does his entire church do the picketing thing, or just him and a few followers?

If its the former, than the answer is to find a legal pretext to get a hold of his church's assets. That's what they did to the Aryan Nations compound.

Since Phelps makes an annoying nuisance of himself, they really ought to see if they can arrest him.

For some odd reason, just hearing him say the name 'Stephen Colbert' was hilarious! Here is what I'd like to do to Mr. Phelps and his circus: Construct some kind of projection device that could be used to flash gigantic images in the night sky. Just imagine the prince of darkness floating over the Phelps compound...their reaction would be priceless!

The WBC's congregation consists almost entirely of Phelps and his extended family. It's not really a church in the traditional sense.

I didn't even make it to the 3 minute mark of that video. God Phelps is so boring. But I get the gist of it, which consists of quoting Genesis and discussing God's destruction of Sodom.

I am willing to be that like most Christians, Phelps will conveniently ignore the part where Lot offers his two virgin daughters to the Sodomites instead, and that God turned Lot's wife into salt for looking back while fleeing the destruction. And to top it all off, in order for Lot to have a heir, because you know daughters don't count, one of his daughters slept with him. And people wonder why I hold the Bible in such scorn.

Nope. Actually he uses it to argue that True Christians should have no sympathy for this damned country, because if they do then, like Lot's wife, they will be struck down by the hand of God.

Hey, you did better than me. Once he got into the gay bashing I closed the tab. As I have said before, I can't stand the guy and his idealologies, and I hope his 'church' won't survive his death.

Setesh · Post by **Setesh** » 2006-09-09 11:53am

The funny thing is the phrase 'pillar of salt' is a hebrew euphemism for woman who is sterile. Much like moses and finding water, to 'strike a rock' was a euphemism for finding something or a lucky break.

The "God Hates Fags" and "You're going to hell." with the pretty little tune in the background bit at the beginning, is that something someone else has edited in there for comedic effect, or is it supposed to be there?

You're definitely not familiar with Phelps at all if you need to ask that.

No, it's the first time i ever heard of him right now. But i take it from your post that it was meant as a serious thing, the intro thing?

I had no idea the anti-gay people could be so blunt. Usually when i hear about stuff like this, the people who said it follow up by saying "their lies, all lies, i never said anything like it!". And then the very next day the start preaching the same thing, when the media isn't around.

I mean, doesn't that violate some kind of hate-speech laws?
