I think George Takei (Mr. Sulu) has the most merciful thing to say about Fred Phelps:

Quote:
I take no solace or joy in this man's passing. We will not dance upon his grave, nor stand vigil at his funeral holding "God Hates Freds" signs, tempting as it may be.

He was a tormented soul, who tormented so many. Hate never wins out in the end. It instead goes always to its lonely, dusty end.
- George Takei
That being said, I'll give Fred Phelps a pass on dancing gleefully at news of his death. Something he was incapable of.

A part of me is being respectful of the dead and a part of me is saying good riddance.

I live 7000km from his nearest picketing and was still disquisted by the man.

Best I just stay away from this. One honest opinion and I'm infracted or worse

Odd ball.....

I feel the only proper thing to do is ignore it. Why give him any more of the attention he spent his life seeking?

[Madox58]

Lock the thread.
Pointing any attention to this waste of air breathing POS is giving them attention.
:nope:

I disagree, period...
Exposing the repulsions of 'normality' is paramount for the media.
Hiding it only serves the purpose it's designed for :03:

Your 'liberalism' has turned into anarchy.. ?

[ReallyDedPoet]

He has gotten enough media attention, but in the end that was part of his goal wasn't it :yep:

[darius359au]

I'm with @Betonov and if I said what I really thought I'd be banned for life! ,on that note though, I'm sure if you believe in an afterlife the dear departed Fred will be wondering why it's so hot where he is and not a wing or harp in sight :03:

[nikimcbee]

Good riddance.
In other news, stop covering these guys.

In other news, Steed finds missing jet under his couch whilst cleaning.:up:

[Tchocky]

He's not in Hell. His Hell was his life, full of so much hate.

[Cybermat47]

I have more respect for Holocaust deniers than I do for that man or his church.

Seriously, I know a Holocaust denier, and he's actually a pretty decent guy. We've been friends for 3 years now. He didn't get angry at me at all when I told him that I thought the Holocaust did happen. He calmly outlined the 'evidence' he had for his opinion, and in the end we agreed to disagree.

I doubt anyone from WBC would be so nice when explaining their idiotic beliefs.

As an FYI, his daughter was just quoted on the local radio news station as saying there will be no funeral for Phelps...


<O>

Q. One down, how many more tax evading 'religion' family members left to go?

A. Two.





Too many, that is.

Good to see a topic like this maintaining an orderly stance :cool:

[Wolferz]

Another tormented soul released from his earthly bonds.
God forgive him. He knew not what he was doing to his flock.

That can usually be expected when everyone who posts feels the same way.

There was a couple of posts that I thought might cause a stir, but nothing much came of it.

[Schroeder]

In other news, Steed finds missing jet under his couch whilst cleaning.:up:
Which is clearly a hoax as everybody knows that Steed never cleans.:O:

As for the guy in the topic: There are people who's departure has caused me more grief. And that puts it mildly.

[Platapus]

I look forward to the day when someone mentions his name, the response is "who?".

[Sailor Steve]

I'm already there. I didn't know the name, I only recognized the "Westboro Founder" part.

[Wolferz]

I hear the Church of Satan has nominated ol' Fred for sainthood.:O:

[Madox58]

How long till South Park does an episode on his doing us a favor by croaking?
:hmmm:
:haha:
