1. Yes, damn him and all of his evil "poor folks helping" ways.

2. I like the Truman quote there

"Carry the battle to them, don't let them bring it to you."

Back in those days, Harry Truman took the fight to the GOP. A few months before the 1948 election, he was trailing Thomas Dewey by 15 points in the polls and had the right and left wings of Democrats split off under Thurmond and Henry Wallace, respectively.

He still won because he went out and attacked the Republican agenda to destroy the New Deal and progress---he burned them up every chance he could get.

3. Let them picket

and let the rest of the nation get a full view. Let them be associated with the Right Wingers and the evangelicals and then we win big. We just handed them their asses in their own town against tons of money and lies and we are not stopping now. Momentum folks, we got it so lets not waste it.

8. What momentum?

All I see is more fundie churchs and more jobs given to Christians while we godless blue state natives are left unemployed for our sins. If we want to stop them, we may have to use force.

10. This momentum.

14. Better than nothing

15. Yes it is only a little

but it is a start and we are all pretty pumped up over it here in my little town. I don't think we are going to allow their side to frame this any longer and I don't think we will be caught unawares again. It was too hard to start from behind with so little time. I just wish all those nasty people did not now have my cell phone number. Too bad they are too chicken to actually speak with me, they just block their own number and leave nasty messages. I guess we got to them a little too much.

20. Hey congrats Muse

I was so glad to hear of these results this morning. And I was sending happy thoughts your way.

It was interesting though that the KC media mostly ignored this story. I heard no mention of your vote on any of our TV stations. I finally found an article buried in The Star.

21. He is one scary ass dude I guess.

Everyone seems so afraid of him. Now all of us little folks have taken him on. He knows our names, they have our cell phone numbers but none of us are afraid of him. I have had several screaming calls today on my phone so I have simply quit answering unless I know who it is. Simple as that. One thing I can say, they are not violent. Their language is but they do not go out to hurt people unless you get too close and threaten them. Still, so many are too afraid to even cover them in a poor light. Too bad, we most likely would have won in a landslide if the papers had covered the issue truthfully and cleared it all up for people. Thanks, it was worth every minute away from home and every one of the 1500 plus minutes I put on my cell phone. We beat the sucker, God it feels so good.

22. You know you can change your cell number

if you ask for a new one. I started getting telemarketing calls on mine when they started those no-call lists. So I called my carrier and they offered to change my number - at no charge.

4. Somebody needs to shove a microphone into Phelps's

piggy face and ask him how he feels about Bush and his gay prostitute in the White House.

He's been dead silent on the subject.

5. Does anybody take this church seriously?

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. Not that I am aware of

They are as extreme as extreme can get. Most Kansans realize that.

They just lost a big battle in Topeka - their hometown - yesterday.

[Laurab]

6. They are more than sick - they need help

this quote: "God Almighty warned John Edwards by killing his son", in the flyer, is one of the sickest things I've ever seen. I wonder if the same "God Almighty" warns them about their hate and their hypocrisy.

[Jon8503]

7. With all of the hate coming out of these religious nuts and murdering

doctors, federal judges, deacons in Church's who are serial murderers, nothing but hate I am going to become an atheist.

9. Kansas

So...I guess we've got our answer to What's Wrong With Kansas?

Churches like this. The Kansas BTK serial killer is a BIG church-goer. President of his church even.

12. No you don't. n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. No this is not at all typical

of how most Kansans feel. These people are nuts and even church going folks here realize that.

[toymachines]

11. these people are warped

freaking insane. read that letter to dean. they take logic and completely flip it upside down, while still pretending everything is normal. sick hatemongering people. is this phelps guy ignorant, psychopathic, sociopathic, or whats the deal? oh ya, malignant egophrenia, i bet thats it.

[saltpoint]

13. It might be entertaining to ask these folks --

-- just what a supplicant to a fag/dyke, master is, exactly. I would assume the concept is crystal clear in these peoples' minds, if they can be said to HAVE minds, that is, and so a local reporter should press them for specifics and a group spokesperson should go on record defending the charge.

On the charge itself, well, it's kind of hard to picture.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. It's really a waste of time

to ask them anything. Best thing to do is just ignore them. Thankfully, most of the media does just that.

[saltpoint]

23. That's true. It's hard to find a rational response to --

-- irrational claims.

If John Edwards scares these people, I wonder how they'd react to Lou Reed.

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. At least they are non-partisan

They also picketed Reagan's funeral.
