And wait for the last 33 seconds or so.

The rest is almost laughable.

The ending will rip your heart out.

You have to be carefully taught.

8. Phelps would just make them sue all the other WATW parodies...
and we'd lose out on such high-brow humor as...

Yes, they'd have to go after "The PCR Song."

4. I came to the conclusion years ago that these are just a bunch of dumb fucks. . .
who have absolutely no concept of what God or religion are all about . . . they are small, self-loathing people who have used the "God Hates Fags" thing to garner publicity and, I assume, money for their stupid crusade . . . fortunately, most Americans see right through them and want no part of their hatred . . .

btw, that little girl singing at the end of the video constitute child abuse of the very worst kind, imo . . .

5. Wow if only they had sung that in front of the whitehouse 24,7 for the last 8 years.
The ending didn't rip my well socialized canadian heart out. musta flunked out of lamb assed parental guilt trip 101.

God hates people who are able to see through such blatantly obvious bs. By the time I was 4 years old I'd developed an instinctual hatred of organized religion.

God loves the world, but hates the ego.....rotfflmfao

6. Serious question
That family of course has some deep seated mental problems, along with its followers.

Has law enforcement ever investigated Fred for Physical/sexual abuse of his family members, perhaps that is why they are liked the way they are?

7. Words fail me
Oh my.

Is this what they think God WANTS? For them to just condemn other people?

This is what trips me out the worst: Soldiers, as a group, are some of the most homophobic people around. Not all of them are; many of them are tolerant of gays and a small fraction of them are gay themselves, but if you take...oh, maybe sixty percent of the soldiers currently serving and ask them about gay people, you'd think you were talking to Fred Phelps. Apparently Phelps does not realize this, or he does and doesn't care.

I wonder if they're proud of this: http://www.splcenter.org/intel/map/hate.jsp#s=KS--the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hate Groups Map for Kansas, which says there are seven hate groups in Kansas--five neo-Nazi groups, a racist skinhead group and Phelps' church.

10. Sick, sick, sick, desperately sick people.
I almost cried at the end seeing that little girl. Yes, indeed, you have to be carefully taught.

11. where do these folks get the money to sustain
all of the travel, days not working, etc.? I have read that the only "church" members are family, and that many have jobs (as lawyers - who would hire one of these loons?), but how do they keep their jobs and keep spending money to keep up their "show"? I would be very interested to learn how they get funding.

14. As I understand it, they get funds by suing people.
They probably have plenty of silent haters sending them regular checks too.
