Did Fred Phelps take down his flyer thanking God for tsunami?
Last night on DU a poster had a link to it. I e-mailed it to all the MSM, and all the politicians I know.

He thanked god for killing 2,000 Swedes in the tsunami because they were all "perverts, dykes, and queers.

It was still up and running a few hours ago. Now it's gone.

1. Looks more like a DOS attack or server overload
His entire site seems to be down.

6. I've seen sicker
And oddly enough ... he is not insane. It's belief. Belief worries me.


PS Belief can lead to both good and evil.

11. I think belief
can be a type of insanity/obsession/delusion.

It seems ironic to me - that Jesus (supposedly anyway) discouraged judging people - probably for this very reason. People become consumed and obsessed with what others (who aren't bothering anyone) are doing and don't bother worrying about what kind of jerks they themselves are.

8. His children should be removed
For filling their heads with hate. It's abuse. And one daughter who broke away from the family says they were all physically abused.

10. His children are mostly grown
And they are all lawyers. He stays in business by suing those that come after him. His church/compound is basically made up of his extended family. And they alternate between preaching and suing.

7. Network security
I know how to hack a bit. But its not something I do. And knowing what I know about Phelps I wouldn't want to tangle with his site. He is still where he is because he has sued the city and state into oblivion. His security is up there.

It looks like he has already been hit by a DOS attack which is a much safer attack route anyway.

12. He has never backed down
and I doubt anything would ever make him back down. Anything bad that might come of something he did would only serve to make him more of a martyr.

13. He believes he is fighting for good
Would you back down from evil? Neither will he.
