Fred Phelps to picket funeral of 6 children killed in Bardstown house fire
February 09, 2007
Gay haters to picket kids' funeral

Anti-gay activists from the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, plan to protest at the collective funeral of the victims of the Bardstown house fire that killed 10 people last week.

The blaze, described as the deadliest in Kentucky in thirty years, killed six children, and left two others hospitalised. The cause of the fire has yet to be confirmed.

Lifelong resident Patsy Fiedler told the Lexington Herald Leader: "Look at what these people have lost and then they have somebody like that come in here. ... I feel for them."

Another local resident, James Hodge, told the Herald: "I don't think it's right", whilst many other members of the community have expressed their concerns over the WBC’s presence in Bardstown to the police.

The Baptist group - slogan "God hates America, God Hates Fags" - believe that disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq war are due to the “moral downfall” of the country

1. So Phelps actually found a way to sink even lower.
It didn't seem possible. He's now merely a publicity hound? Pathetic.

2. this clown can't be sane. Why is he not in a mental institution?
This is a real question. Why isn't he? He's delusional and sociopathic. Lots of other mentally sick people are getting the help they need, but he isn't.

8. I just had the same thought
and it's obviously intervention time. His monomania is endangering his life and the lives of his family. His pathological hatred has obviously made him mad as a hatter; since he's now endangering lives he can and should be picked up.

He looks like he's trying to commit suicide by crowd.

If he gets the First Amendment overturned in the process, he'll rejoice in hell.

10. This man is a dangerous criminal.
There is some information on this man that is truly shocking. I read that he supposedly killed his daughter's boyfriend. There apparently wasn't enough evidence to convict him.

But the man is clearly out of his mind.

4. My only hope is that Fred
Phelps one day aggravates someone too much. He will end up pushing some family member too far, and then watch out Fred....

And rightfully so, by the way.
