I'm a little ol' dyke and GLBT issues are the closer to my heart than just about anything. And I wish that Phelps was a frickin republican. And what he does it despicable and so vile it is unbelievable.

But.

I MEAN COME ON! He is SO ENTERTAINING. He's like a technocolor clown of hate. While freepers are militaristic and whiny and gun toting and boring (and because of that, they pass as good citizens) Phelps is a fucking colorful nutjob that makes even conservatives go... "whoa. somebody shut that guy up, he is way too over the top, he's gonna blow it for us." He's got his snazzy sweat bands around his elbows (heroin addict?) and his muscle shirts.

I mean, if we had Phelps on the nightly news every night, cultural moderates would swing to the left just to avoid having to stand next to the guy!

And the fact that he offers his services to world leaders like Boris Yeltsin and Saddam Hussein. What a fucking character!

Don't get me wrong... I'm sure he'll be out there protesting my funeral some day. But the way I look at it. At least folks'll show up.

Sometimes I think that Phelps is going to come out and reveal that he is actually a performance artist cultivating a routine.
