I'm so sick and tired of their crap. I knew this would happen. I knew they would jump right on it.
I wish someone would relocate them to some deserted island far away.... so they could hate on each other for once and leave the rest of us alone.
As a Midwesterner, you have no idea how ashamed they make me feel.
Sorry for the outbursts, but they disgust the crap out of me. And I KNEW they would jump on this news about Heath as quick as they heard it.
Bunch of FREAKS! >:(
Ok, is that Phelps or whatever for real???
Even though France is not the most open-minded of countries where homosexuality is concerned, the author of such crap would be considered in this country as "incitating to hatred", which is a crime here, and he's be sued and prosecuted.
Well if it is any consolation, few people (and none of them rational intelligent adults) will be reading his flyer about Heath.
Now when Fred Phelps dies.... that news will be met with a crooked smile by the masses.
And I wouldn't be surprized to find out he was a closeted Homosexual himself.
I hope the Funeral director of Freds burial turns out to be gay and has Fred buried in a dress. Better yet, with a large adult novelty item up his posterior. He sure has been a pain in our asses.

GOD DAMN THEIR ASSES TO HELL!!! >:( >:(
I hope the Qantas flight attendants shove their ignorant asses off the airplane... over the Pacific ocean.... in shark infested waters.... at 35.000 feet!
Sons of bitches! >:(
When Fred Phelps dies, his funeral will make Woodstock look like a picnic.
He craves attention, that is what he is about, ignore him, don;t throw fuel on the fire.
This is the same group that picketed Jerry Falwell's funeral, saying he was too liberal or sumpn, right?

Last night Lynne was telling me about people who dressed as angels who stood between the mourners and the picketers at Matthew Shepard's funeral, shielding the mourners with their large wings.

I'm hoping that this is SO over-the-top tasteless and insensitive that it will backfire, turning rational normal caring people against that kind of monstrous attitude once and for all.
David, would you really want to pollute the ocean with trash like that and possibly poison some innocent shark?
(http://www.cnn.com/US/9904/05/gay.attack.trail.02/angels.jpg)
it is interesting to compare Anna Nicole's death to Heaths and how it is being covered...he is being compared to the greats...like James Dean...which is pretty cool. Instead of the tripe they talked about with Anna..After her death, some compared Anna Nicole to Marilyn Monroe, which I thought was absurd (if anything, Anna Nicole displayed a caricature of Monroe in the presentation of her public persona...and without, frankly, a smidgen of the latter's grace and talent).

Yes, there was a group that dressed up and tried to shield the service for Matthew Shepard and I think the continue to serve in that capacity at funerals when there is a need. I've also seen similar groups at Pride parades... shielding the parade route and especially near groups of angry protesters.
Also, I know there is a group of bikers that protect military funerals from the likes of Phelps... they try to bar the way to protesters groups such as Phelps.
The people who dress up in angel outfits and the bikers both have special names as groups, but I can't think of them right now. They definitely seem like good people and very brave to stand right up to the likes of Phelps and similar groups.

Well, my thought was that while they might not get to Oz there is more than likely going to be a memorial service in either LA or NY.
They might try to picket that. But I think they'll be vastly outnumbered.. by fans for one...
and I'm sure the likes of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Guard_Riders and http://www.eatromaine.com/angel_action/angelaction.html will be there in force if asked.
tell you what, if you see them, give them a smack in the face from me.

I'm not quite sure how this interview kept his cool - good on him.
I'm not quite sure how this interview kept his cool - good on him.
I could have done without the interviewer dissing the U.S., the Midwest and even Topeka, though. (I've never been to Topeka, but I'm sure there are plenty of perfectly normal people there.) If Americans are such knuckle-dragging Neanderthals, how did Brokeback Mountain get made here in the first place?
I thought he said it was people like her who give the US a bad name after she made the comment about knuckle-dragging Neanderthals who don't read the bible.
Well, he went on to say Americans were seen throughout the world as something or other, and later said something mean about Topeka.
She does give Americans (and Topekans) a bad name. But it ain't their fault.
Well, as luck would have it...I live in topeka...born and raised....and these nutjobs are such an embarrasment!! every time they picket somewhere that i hear about, i send a letter to the newspaper and tv stations apologizing for our town.
I will do it here, before the fact.
The "reverend" Phelps and his livley band of supporters are all crazy.,..i swear...that woman you spoke of is probably shirley phelps, who has become the family spokesperson since daddy is getting so old. the whole family are attorneys..i kid you not...many many attorneys. they can slither out of anything. i was SO thrilled that they got their butts kicked in that East coast lawsuit.
They stand on the street corners here in Topeka with their pornographic signs..i mean these idiots even think Santa is evil!! they have a sign showins santa having sex!! and they think gay people are the sick ones??? give me a frickin break!! i will tAke my gay friends ANY day over the evil Phelps clan. and thats what it is, only the phelps family and their spouses and children in that "church". i don't think there are any outsiders at all that have stayed. it is 13 degrees here in Topeka today, and i can bet you there are phelps' standing on a street corner somewhere in this city, with their little homeschooled (mindwashed) kids, some really young, maybe 6 or 7, holding signs with pornographic pictures and words. just unbelieveable. those poor little kids.
i think the patriot guard are the heroes in the funeral situation. at the funeral of a falled soldier, the guard will stand shoulder to shoulder and shield the grieving family from their view and will sing or paly music to protect them from hearing the horrible things they say.
Topeka has been dealing with fred phelps and his seed for over 20 years. mostly we just try to ignore them. i have very mixed feelings about this. they sould be tormented, but THEY say it brings attention to their cause..and i would NEVER want to do that....my husband says that if he ever would be told that he had just a few months to live, he would go wipe them all out....that statement reflects the anger that most of us feel at their presence....

Well, God Bless your Mama, ennisjack, for bringing you into the world! Your comment was the first thing that has made me laugh in days! There is always something good to be said about the Sparkling Gay Wit. I love it! Poor sharks, indeed! And I'll have something of my own to say in a minute, but I doubt I can top what you said so well, EJ. I was feeling pretty low until I came to this thread. Laughter... good medicine.
Hi Kelda!! and here is the pix of that sweet little grand daughter & me!
Westboro parishioner Shirley Phelps told Sydney radio station 2Day FM she would picket services.
"I'm going to picket him in two places,'' she told 2Day FM.
"I'm going to stand outside of any public memorial service that he has here.
"And then the other place I'm going to picket him is when they prop him up to worship his dead, rotting carcass further at the Oscars. I'll be right outside by the red carpet.''
The church has ruled out travelling to Australia for the funeral.
Ledger's family will hold a private memorial in New York today.
Isn't there any way to stop them? Can't they be held on charges of disturbing the peace, disturbing public order, child abuse (ref. what has been said here of the small children having to hold indecent posters and what not). Anything - to get them off the streets for that day?
I'm clutching at straws, here.
Is there nothing to do? :'(
As far as I know, the Phelps gang has been thwarted in regard to picketing Heath's service. There was a private dinner and viewing Saturday night in Los Angeles for family and a few friends, and I've seen no mention that anyone was there to be obnoxious. 8)
but they were at SAG last night?
So glad they have decided not to go to Australia. Praise The Lord for that!
she is a swell, beloved Brokie and I love her!
does anyone have a picture of that - I read about it but I'd sure as hell love to SEE it.
You know someone in that Phelps clan has got to be gay themselves, or will come to know themselves as gay at some future time. Lots of folks speculate that Fred himself is a serious closet case, and I could certainly believe it, given the obsession he has with this one topic.Yup, it's the only (ahem...) "sin" he's this concerned with. Oddly enough, we don't we see these loons threatening actors who play murderers, rapists and child molesters... or devil worshipers.
Did you all notice their zip code? I think THAT's what God thinks of Westboro Baptist Church.LMFAO!! Lord, I needed that laugh.
Did a gay website post their press release? It's amusing to see the ads surrounding it. ;)Why, yes. Yes they did. ;)

I say we get that guy who tried to pass himself off as Heath's dad to Tom Cruise and other celebrities to call ole Fred up and tell him that the funeral will be held somewhere in the back of beyond, send 'em on a wild goose chase. Then, maybe that crazy crew will get lost and have to duke it out with dingoes. I'd feel sorry for the dingoes.
Just when you think this can't get any better: :-X

But wait, if you go to the website in the article, look what happens. It's great, for real: http://godhatesaustralia.comThat is friggin' AWESOME! :D
So in other words, I guess everybody in the world is going to hell.Guess you got it in one! See you all there!
three friends died and went to Heaven...it was wonderful, golden streets and fluffy clouds to lay on..but all they got to eat day after day was tunafish sandwiches.
They could look down into Hell, and the people there were dining on lobster, steaks, huge racks of ribs, with all the trimmings and desserts you could imagine...
after a while they approached God and asked why the people in Hell got all that great food and all they got was tunafish....
God sighed and said "Well, ok. but it just seems like SO much trouble just for the three of you..."
God sighed and said "Well, ok. but it just seems like SO much trouble just for the three of you..."
We'll be with Heath! I'm inviting him over for lobster first thing. ;D
Anke and Mika, I'm sorry, you aren't American or Australian. As far as I've heard, you don't get to go with us. :(Um, pay attention, Ellemeno... GOD HATES BROKIES! :P We're all laughing in God's face just like Heath was, because we think being a [nasty F word for homosexual] is OK! We're [nasty F word]-enablers!!
Anke, I love the rosehips. Beautiful.
Y'all, be sure to look at the godhatesaustralia website. It'll cheer you up, honest.
Pull up a log, Anke and Mika--the lobster's on the barby, and so are you! Yeeeeeeeehaw! :laugh:
"Anyone interesting up there in heaven?"
"Nope."
Anke and Mika, I'm sorry, you aren't American or Australian. As far as I've heard, you don't get to go with us. :(>:( Well I never thought I'd be sorry for being denied entry to hell, but there's a first for everything! However, being in Heaven with Phelps would be my personal idea of hell, so no way am I accepting that punishment without putting up a fight! Just gotta find a way to convince everyone I belong with the hottie lobster-nibbling sinners' barbeque group....
Pull up a log, Anke and Mika--the lobster's on the barby, and so are you! Yeeeeeeeehaw!Yay! ...right way has been found! Thanks, Verona! ;)
Seriously, when Phelps hasn't mentioned that GodHatesNorway yet, I'm sure it is because he thinks Norway is the capital of Azerbaijan or something
:laugh:
OT, but your avatar/message made me cry. "Goodnight, sweet prince..." :'(
Thank you. I didn't want to make anyone cry, but I've always loved that image of Heath, it's so calm, pensive, tranquil, just filled with reflection.... and Hamlet's last words seem so very fitting for it. :-\ In more ways than one. :'(Not to mention most of his other plays. Whole lotta gayin' goin' on. But I think it's safe to say that those ignorant morons have never read a word of Shakespeare. They are truly the most worthless creatures God ever saw fit to create. Even more worthless than earwigs, mosquitoes and barnacles.
At any rate, since Shakespeare wore an earring and wrote love sonnets to his Earl patron, it is abundantly obvious that GodHatesShakespeare !
If his name wasn't so darn difficult to write, the Phelps clan would picket performances of "Romeo and Juliet" with huge garish posters of Shakespeare in HELL!!!
What are you laughing at, smartypants? GODHATESBETTERMOST!!!! :P
Somebody better go reserve the domain quick! :laugh:
sordid, tacky bucket of slime seasoned with vomit
Well, they're "Christians." When you think of the teachings of Jesus Christ, don't you think of phrases like that? Don't you think of pure, unadulterated, hideous HATE?
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :o :o :o
Isn't this just the most amazing phrase? I mean, it's just so vivid and over-the-top. I wonder how long it took him to come up with this one?
Most definitely "strong stomach are needed" to deal with Phelps. No question... and it turns out it's a very literal situation.
:P ::)
Hey Meryl, sign me up there too.. i hate tuna sandwiches....
I'm glad I just listened to it. I got hope listening to the other people talking. She just sounded like a vicious nut.
Gay man, "I thought Christians were people who treat people well."
Phelps woman, "I'm treating you way better than you treat me, because I'm telling you the truth."
Weeping lesbian Christian, "What about 'Do unto others...?"
Phelps woman, "The Bible says, 'Follow my Commandments.'"
Weeping lesbian Christian, "There's nothing in the Ten Commandments about homosexuality."
Radio woman, "It's hard to believe God wants you to be so filled with hate."
You'll close ranks down in hell for me when the time has come? I don't want to be alone up there with the Phelps nuts. And I think I don't have to, since I'm a Brokie - phew, lucky me ;).There's not many of them (40 or so), and a lot of them are his family members. They just make themselves high-profile by doing repulsive things like showing up at Matthew Shepard's funeral with signs reading "God Hates [F]s" and other lovely sentiments... laughing, dancing, singing stupid little ditties about how happy they are that God killed another one, etc.
Seriously, what do you think they want? I can't believe that they believe what they're saying. Apart from hateful, it's extreme stupid. Is it really possible that a whole group of people (all of them, every single member) truly believes this extreme BS?
And if not, why on earth do they support it? What are their intentions?

I know. But why? Do you really think they believe all the cr*p they're saying?I do suspect they truly believe all they say. I think they're sincere Christians, they're just subscribing to an interpretation of the religion that has fallen out of fashion in our modern, more permissive society.
I know. But why? Do you really think they believe all the cr*p they're saying?They absolutely, positively believe what they're saying. I also agree that there's definitely some latent homosexuality going on there, because for all their "Christian" posturing, they only seem to be concerned (well, OBSESSED) with one particular "sin." They don't seem to have any problem at all with lying, cheating, stealing, murder, rape, torture, child molesting (except where gay priests are concerned, of course) or anything else that would seem to be against God's will. They just can't get their minds out of the bedrooms of homosexuals, and what might be going on in there. One can't help but wonder why that is, hmm?
Sure enough, don't know if it applies to the Phelps clan, but a lot of the most extreme homophobes are intensely self-hating people with gay feelings.

I hope Heath is buried in Australia. If they decide to follow, the gay QANTAS flight attendants will give them a memorable trip.
Australia law probably wouldn't allow that type of behavior. They'd probably get brained by a boomerang, or worse.I don't see how any of them could get brained.
So, I never heard anything about pickets in Australia. Seems like that one part of this sad story worked out well.Indeed. I don't see a post in the update about the family all going for a splash in the sea after the funeral. That sounds like a good thing to do. After the funeral of a friend of mine was a separate gathering for tributes (a very good idea, I think) and at the end of that, we all went out to the beach and threw flowers in the sea.
