1. I'm sure we can find them a First Amendment Zone...

somewhere in the harbor.

[Bluebear]

2. Better still! Feces-eating sodomites!

http://www.godhatesfags.com/main/index.html

Oh, I hope they do show up with all their vile posters and placards.

[MercutioATC]

18. I didn't realize feces-eating was covered in the bible.

A qoute from the www.godhatesamerica.com site (operated by the same people):

"And why shouldn't you eat your babies? You eat fag feces like it was the bread of life! You have refused to fear "THE LORD THY GOD" (Deut. 28:58)"

That's the actual quote from the page:

http://www.godhatesamerica.com/

Something tells me they're not using the King James version...

[Ready4Change]

3. PLEASE tell me that's a satiric web site?

That can't be real, can it?

[SunDrop23]

5. It is real. I have seen those bozos in interviews.

[Bluebear]

6. Oh no, they are quite real.

They picket "fag" funerals with glee. Mathhew Sheperd was a particularly festive time for them.

[walldude]

7. It's real alright

and it's been around quite a few years, I remember first being linked to it when Matthew Shepard was murdered...

[wicket]

8. It's not fake

These are the people who picketed Matt Shepherd's funeral and Mr. Roger's funeral. They are sick.

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. Why did they picket Mr. Rogers funeraL

:(

[wicket]

13. Mr. Rogers was a Presbyterian Minister

And was very tolerant and loving towards gays. What they did to him was DISGUSTING. You can read their PDF on it here - http://www.godhatesfags.com/fliers/mar2003/Mr_Rogers_Memorial_3-24-2003.pdf

SICK sick people.

[wicket]

15. They also picketed President Reagan's funeral

I remember some DUers posted pictures from it and their horrible, hateful signs.

[AntiCoup2K4]

23. They even picketed REAGAN's funeral

Hell, you would think that by ignoring the AIDS crisis until thousands had died would have earned some credit from Phelps, but even considered old Ronnie to be a "fag loving" President. :shrug:

[PsN2Wind]

4. Since fundamentalists

and the Catholic church have chosen to actively enter into politics, I believe it is time to review the entire tax-free status of all churchs. I suppose I should include the Mormon church also.

9. Newsflash--- God hates Sweden, too

10. Read the email they sent to my favorite GLB news source..

Dear Editor -

I read your piece by Cam Lindquist God Hates Hate and would like to make a few comments and insert a little truth in that pond of lies.

1. I’m thankful to see that your writer is willing to admit that God Hates. Now if you perverts would just try to come up with some clear thinking and careful consideration of what GOD hates, NOT what you hate you will be on the right track!

2. Thank you for acknowledging our warning at the Atlanta “Pride” parade.

3. The list of signs includes one that we do not own in our collection of more than 1,000 signs. While the sentiment is good and accurate “Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve” - it seems a little trivial in the larger Bible based and sound doctrine scheme of our street ministry.

4. While it’s a nice squishy addition to a puff piece, the lie about the fag in the flag (that flag being one of his idols - adding to his idolatry - a thing that the Lord your God hates) shorts talking to the little girl. Unfortunately, there is not an ounce of truth to it! You see - at Westboro Baptist Church, we teach our children from the cradle the truth about God and His judgments. Had such a question truly been asked of ANY person holding a sign from Westboro Baptist Church, the answer, without a doubt, would have been a resounding, strong Yes - The Lord your God, (that would be Jesus Christ) hates you, which is nothing less than his determination to send you STRAIGHT to hell when you die! What your readers need MORE than oxygen to breath or water to drink is the message from the faithful servants of the Lord your God at Westboro Baptist Church. There IS a God, there IS a Day of Judgment and it is NOT okay to be gay! If you live like the devil and die in your sins, you will split hell wide open and there you shall reside for all eternity where the worm that eats on you never dies and the smoke of your torment ascendeth up for ever and ever in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the lamb. You will gnaw your tongues for pain and continue EVEN then to curse God. Further, at such events as you describe, the perverts in the parade are generally a cowardly bunch that stays in the street where the mob is, and violently throws rocks, eggs, or otherwise and screams vile, vulgar comments. They generally demonstrate themselves to be the brute beasts that the scriptures describe them to be without ONE bit of interest in the love of God.

5. Westboro Baptist Church also operates www.godhatesamerica.com.

Thanks!

Shirley L Phelps-Roper

P.S. - Our sign does NOT say 9-11 is God’s Answer to Gays. We do have signs that address the issue of the events of 9-11. We will have those signs at the site of the so called Freedom Tower that will be dedicated this next Sunday, July 4. We will be there with these signs: Thank God for Sept. 11; Fag Sin = 9-11; Planes Crash, God Laughs and 9-11 = Gift From God.

12. Rev. Fred Phelps. All around swell example of humanity..

My absolute favorite episode of "The Awful Truth" was the one where Mike takes the "Sodomobile" across all the states that, at the time, had anti-sodomy laws on the books.. And he has two run-ins with the illustrious asshat "reverend", who obviously knows when he's beat, since he turns tail and runs...

[Wind Dancer]

17. I have that DVD too and was glad to see MM

expose the insanity of Phelps. I can't express how disgusted I am by these dangerous nuts - disgusting beyond belief.

[Warren DeMontague]

19. Well, I'll say one thing for them, believe it or not---

they put the ugliness of bigotry and hate right out there, in front of everyone to see. They manage to drag the reputation of right-wing fundies even lower than Robertson & Falwell, as if such a thing were possible... And maybe, on some level, they force people who harbor those kinds of attitudes in secret to consider how truly vile they are.

[tabasco]

14. Sodomite whorehouse?

Yayahhh. Let me get some of that DNC action!

[WillyT]

20. No Kidding... These Guys Have A Knack For Turning A Complaint...

into an advertisement!!!

"Sodomite Whorehouse??? C'mon y'all, let's go!!!"

Wasn't there a song by Men At Work about a Sodomite Sandwich???

:evilgrin:

[tabasco]

24. Bwaahaahaha!! I wonder what kind of sandwich that would be!

Actually I think it was vegemite sandwich, maybe some Aussie can explain. :silly:

[TheMightyFavog]

16. These guys are batshit crazy.

There's an expose out there called Addicted to Hate. It claims that their leader, Fred Phelps pretty well much beat his children with a pickaxe handle daily, forced kids as young as six to go on 10 mile runs, and bilked fundraising candy companies out of tens of thousands of dollars.

21. sodomy and whores

Sounds like a good time to me.

[Moloch]

22. That's wonderful news!

I really hope the Phelpses (the only people that belong to his "church" are his immediate family) get as much media exposure as possible. It will only cause people to think this: Wow, I don't want to be like these assholes, I should reconsider my own homophobic views.

Let them put up their damn "Matthew Shepard in Hell" monument too, they really are a great gift to the cause of gay rights.
