What's The Matter With Kansas? Phelps! GGGGGRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
I found this on the daily kos:

More on Phelps:

Trained as a lawyer, Fred Phelps was disbarred in 1979 by the Kansas Supreme Court, which asserted that he had "little regard for the ethics of his profession." The formal complaint against Phelps charged that he misrepresented the truth in a motion for a new trial in a case he had brought, and that he held the defendant in the case up to "unnecessary public ridicule for which there is no basis in fact." Following his disbarment from Kansas State courts, Phelps continued to practice law in Federal courts. In 1985, nine Federal court judges filed a disciplinary complaint charging him and six of his family members, all attorneys, with making false accusations against them. The Phelpses fought the complaint but lost. In 1989, Fred Phelps agreed to surrender his license to practice law in Federal court in exchange for the Federal judges allowing the other members of his family to continue practicing in Federal court.

2. If God is pissed at Sweden...
...why send an earthquake/tsunami to Indonesia and South Asia? Why punish half a million innocent people to punish 2,000 gay Swedes? The fact that the Fred Phelpses of this world can walk around fomenting hate in the name of god is just one more reason I'm sure god doesn't exist (at least none that are worthy of being worshiped).

3. OK, I'll just say it.
I cannot wait until Fred Phelps finally dies. I truly hope it's extremely painful.

4. Nothing wrong with Kansas
They have tried to get rid of this nutbag but he has succesfully fought off every attempt legally and made money doing it.

7. Thanks Az!
Jeez, I hate this guy....

I went to see the Nutcraker a few years ago in Lawrence, and he was there protesting with his "God hates Fags" etc. signs. This little girl and (I presume) her grandma were standing in line to get in, and the girl says "Grandma, I thought you said Jesus loves everybody." Oi! I don't believe in God, but that breaks my heart! What an a**hole!
