2. Phelps isn't worth the emotional energy of hate
He's a sick fucker for sure. I'm sure the devil has a nice spot reserved for him in hell.

4. "Fuck Phelps" should be his actual name. Or maybe "Fucker Phelps"
Seldom has a more vile creature wiped its ass with the First Amendment.

Fuck all the Phelps. They epitomize what is wrong with this backasswards country. Sadly, they're not that far removed from a lot of people who call themselves "patriotic Americans."

Or someone like me. But then, I'm a dick.

That would suck, but then I really hate that fucker and his gaggle of shitbricks.

I had someone mention to me that they envisioned me giving Phelps a severe haymaker.

It's a wrestling thing, I guess.

27. My thought, too...there's just so long you can act that way before a family member strikes back...
I keep expecting it to happen at one of the military funerals. A likely gathering of celebrities and Hollywood bigwigs isn't one where I would be betting on someone among the guests going postal on the Branch FredPhelpsians, but I could imagine an ordinary grieving fan watching the events from across the street pulling a Jack Ruby imitation on Fred the Sadist.

10. If they picket Ledger's funeral, it will definitely get a lot of exposure and
draw attention to these insane people. Most people have never even heard of Phelps. This attention could cause Phelps GREAT harm. :) We can only hope.

12. Isn't he from Australia with his family
still in Australia? I would think that would be where his funeral would be held. Maybe if the Phelps show up there the Aussies can jail them.

And tell Customs to refuse to let them back into the US, because they're "terraists". Which they truly are, if you think about it.

55. Brilliant idea
I must admit that I probably wouldn't be terribly upset if Phelps and his crew had some sort of fatal "accident", but I'd still prefer that they Just Go Away and leave the rest of us alone. On the other hand, the Aussies probably haven't done anything to deserve these creeps either.

Any chance their flight could be diverted to say - Saudi Arabia? They might be happy there: those folks don't approve of "homosekshuals" either... :evilgrin:

50. This is great advice
Yeah, he is an ignorant fuck, but he is certainly beneath my contempt and not worthy of consideration, at least in my book.

Fight him with education and reason, jail his ass if he breaks the law. It is a free country and that is what we are about; there will always be morans like him, unfortunately. x(

I can't wait 'til he dies. I hope millions of Americans mobilize to go to his funeral and set up humanity's largest queue of people to piss on his grave. I'd love to see the urine flow continuously 24/7 for months on end.

The pain of our existence keeps doing thing that affect people. Like when he is doing one of his protest, people want to know why this or that street is blocked off. He single handily cause a lot of legislation to be passed to try and protect others from his version of "Free Speech".

49. maybe this time
since hollywooders knew this person, and since many of them have more than a little bit of money, maybe someone could put together a big canvas or three... or four...and some teamsters from Hwood could carry those canvases and put them between Phelps and the rest of the funeral cortege. if he moves, they move. Or they could surround him so his gang of putrid hatemongers cannot go anywhere while people are going into a funeral service.

I bet he wouldn't mess with a half-dozen teamsters who move heavy equipment around all day.

I bet police would be pretty slow to answer a call from Phelps about his rights, considering that he considers other people subhuman...and he's protesting a funeral. what a mo-fo.

how could you legally make him "disappear" so that his protests would be useless?

52. There must be a way to mitigate his effect.
Phelps should be ignored, but his acts are so public that ignoring them would hurt everyone that has to look at that garbage. They harass funerals and target people who are their most vulnerable. I know that there are groups that shield families from having to look at Phelps, which is what should happen everywhere. He can protest all he damned wants, but little children with signs about your dead loved ones going to hell is not something anyone should have to see.

I hope Phelps and his minions are segregated from everyone for all of eternity, as any afterlife with Phelps in it would be hell.

65. And if he does? All it will do is reveal him to an even broader audience for the asshole that he is
He'll piss off the ignorant masses finally (you know the ones, they never pay attention the news unless it involves their favorite celebrity).

The people who had no idea who he was when he was saying "Thank God for 9/11" will finally know who he is and he'll become even more hated than he already is.

Let him make an ass of himself.

I don't find it surprising in the least, nor am I going to get too excited about it, I figured he'd do it as soon as I heard Ledger had died.

67. Here's what I already think.
I think Phelps serves a purpose in a way he doesn't intend. He takes the bigotry people try to disguise within themselves and puts it on unbridled display for everyone to see. They see what they carry around in their darkest selves brought out into the full light of day.

I personally think he does more to make more people sympathetic to the rights of GLBT's, when they would not have otherwise been. That kind of stark raving hate has a way of stopping everyday people in their tracks and getting them to re-examine what they believe.
