- Pluckie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+161"They call themselves the most hated family in the US". It sounds like the family is almost proud of the fact.
I would be willing to call them the most ***** up family as well. - 7levels, on 10/12/2007, -2/+92***** like this pisses me off. I rarely get pissed at things I see on here, but this gets me mad - when people decide to hate someone because of the Bible, and they disturb the consecration of someone else's funeral. These soldiers died defending the country these ***** live in, and they have the balls to tell the families that America is doomed... Because God is mad at fags? I'm pissed off, but I can't help but laugh at that. Its ridiculous. God is gonna destroy the entire world ... because hes mad at *****... that he created... and now hes gonna destory everything... cuz hes mad at *****.
What the ***** is wrong with these people. - itanshi, on 10/12/2007, -10/+92Actually, I'd Vote Bush over these guys in an election easy.
//Sonic The Hedgehog '08 - oskite, on 10/12/2007, -4/+76"If a gay person goes along to talk to them outside the church or if a gay person even turned up to the church to attend a service, they wouldn't humiliate them or be rude to them; they'd shake their hand and welcome them in."
wtf? - StrangeFamous, on 10/12/2007, -2/+71Fred Phelps is the anti-christ. I feel sorry for the kids in that family. The scary thing is that they all really do believe that they're righteous by being so full of hate. They all think they're spreading the word of God, when in reality they're just regurgitating the words of a delusional bigot.
- firearcade, on 10/12/2007, -2/+63They fight for their rights to free speech in the land of the free, but at a funeral?
- Augie1969, on 10/12/2007, -3/+60Why do I have this feeling that the adult men of this family are all getting buggered on the weekends?
- giveer, on 10/12/2007, -7/+62It's people like these that make we wish there was a huge title across the top of the Constitution that says: All of this is Null and Void if You're an *****.
- doddilus, on 10/12/2007, -18/+73I think he was referring to Louis Theroux as a fantastic documenter not Michael Moore
Saying Micheal Moore is a fantastic documenter doesn't make any sense at all - vemerge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+53If a family member of mine was to die in combat, and these asshats showed up, rest assured I would beat the everliving ***** out of them. And I would take the arrest charge and any jail time that came with it gladly. ***** idiots.
- hbeierg, on 10/12/2007, -4/+39I live in Topeka and I go to school with some of his grandchildren and they are some of the most screwed up people ever. All the girls aren't allowed to cut their hair.
- MisterWhite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+32@vemerge, I can't figure out why somebody hasn't already done that.
- Crass22, on 10/12/2007, -41/+72I thought the most hated family was the Bush family. I'm sure theyre the most hated in the world atleast.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+30@Pluckie
Fundamentalists tend to have persecution complexes. They like to believe that if someone hates them, it's because the fundamentalist is being too godly and those nasty unbelievers just can't handle the truth. It's a lot easier to believe that people hate you because you're holy than because you're doing something bad. Just look at the fundamentalists on Digg--they'll make some erroneous claims, get dugg down, and then complain that they're being dugg down by the "Bury Brigade" and that Digg is too liberal and blahblahblah. Never does it cross their mind that they're being dugg down for being wrong. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+28I went to their website (godhatesfags.com, I feel like I need to wash my screen) to find an answer to oskite's post -- somewhere on there is a blurb about welcoming "fags" into the fold who have forsaken their sinful ways -- and instead came across something in their FAQ so warped I thought I'd share it instead:
"Have any homosexuals repented as a result of your picketing?
Yes, but this doesn't matter. Christianity is not a game, consisting of who can get the most people to repent. Our job is simply to preach, and by the foolishness of our preaching, we hope that people will be saved."
There's more but it's almost as weird. Does anybody else think the writer was having a fit of cognitive dissonance? - dMinor04, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29This is the reason I quit telling people I'm a Christian.
- BrainInAJar, on 10/12/2007, -12/+34do you LGF morons need to poison /every/ ***** thread with your anti-muslim hate ?
- joshinji, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22I live in Kansas, so sadly I have to hear about this ***** all the time. There was even an article in the local paper a couple of years ago where they kind of sided with the guy. I really do hate living in the most ass backwards state in the country.
- 13B1303, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22I think San Francisco would be more appropriate.
- asdfasdf, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22Fred Phelps is a terrorist (definition: a radical who employs terror as a political weapon; usually organizes with other terrorists in small cells; often uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities).
I always wondered what would happen if his ilk were to sit down alone and have an LSD or a magic mushroom session.
"Christianity has a built-in defense system: anything that questions a belief, no matter how logical the argument is, is the work of Satan by the very fact that it makes you question a belief. It's a very interesting defense mechanism and the only way to get by it -- and believe me, I was raised Southern Baptist -- is to take massive amounts of mushrooms, sit in a field, and just go, 'Show me.'" - Bill Hicks - blimpmaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20I live in Kansas also. I work for the department of corrections, as does Fred's daughter Margie. She is the incarnate of the devil. She is not nice to her co-workers and uses her position within the department to further here personal objectives. The state is afraid of her and her family. I didn't read the article, I have read enough about Fred and his clan over the years, but I think he has about 10-13 kids and most of them went to law school.
If anyone tries to sue them they can keep it tied up in court for years due to the number of lawyers in the family. The legislature passed a bill this week to keep them 150 feet away 1 hour before, during, and 2 hours after a funeral. It will be interesting to see how this works.
Back to Margie. I thought I had a foul mouth, this woman puts me and most of the prisoners incarcerated in the State of Kansas to shame. One minute she is singing praises to the Almighty, the next she is telling you how big of a piece of ***** you are. In those words. Not a nice person.
Here's a link to Margie getting the employee of year award. It was rigged.

I don't speak for God or anything, but I think he's into the grace thing, not the justice thing. Again, sorry.
- kroenecker, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21I was a student at KU when he picketed the drag show during Gay Pride week. The shows participants put a fantastic spin on his presence by having audience members donate a given amount for each minute that the protest took place. Naturally as the show went on, they would yell out to the Phelps family how much money they were making off of them.
Extremely positive way to spin the Phelps family hatred. - pjsk8, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20@crass22:
Leela:"The United States is part of the world."
Fry: "Wow, I HAVE been gone a long time." - diggboi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18These stupid ***** bastards also picketed Matthew Shepard's funeral several years ago (for those who don't recall the name, he was the kid in Wyoming in 1998 who was pistol-whipped and left tied to a fencepost to die on the highway leading out of Laramie, simply for being gay in a bar in Wyoming).
These Topeka ***** showed up at his funeral with signs saying "God Hates Fags" and "AIDS cures homosexuality" as Shepard's mother was trying to bury her only son and deal with the fact that his life had just been cruelly snuffed out by two kindred sons-of-***** mere days before. Nice thing for a mother to see at her murdered son's funeral.
I wish there were a Hell so these ***** could burn in it. - elcaminos, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19I can't stand MM but I can appreciate the piece he did with this guy and the gay people...lol.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33-_9nOX8KM - elcaminos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16The bottom line with this family is that they are trying to be as offensive as possible so people will sue them. They are a family full of good lawyers. They make alot of money doing this. It has nothing to do with their "religion" or their beliefs.
- bigdawg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17I just don't see how they can call themselves Christians when the Bible tells us love to everyone even if you don't agree with their ways. Here they are outwardly saying that they hate gays, it is just wrong and very disturbing to me.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Skittles are delicious. Do not sully such a tasty treat.
- Jozer99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15These jackasses showed up at my high school graduation a few years back in MA. It was because my town had started using a textbook for 2nd or 3rd graders that showed a family with two mommies or something. They had all sorts of signs saying things like "911 is God's punishment to gays" and such like that. (As you can probably tell) I live in a pretty hippy town, so a lot of the high school students who weren't graduating dressed in rainbow clothes and threw flowers at them. It was hilarious. We also had a visit from a Neo-Nazi group earlier that year (for the same reason). They got stoned by passersby and had to sneak out of town with a police escort.
I'm all for free speech, but there are built in limitations that perhaps these people are pushing. At some point, expressing your opinion stops being free expression, and starts becoming death threats and verbal slander, both of which are against the law. If these people don't like gay people, thats fine. Vote conservative. Go to church. Express you views at town meetings if you have to. But when you start showing up at funerals telling people that their children were killed as punishment by god for their sins, you cross a line. Its not free speech anymore. If someone were to go around to a preschool and show kids pictures of mangled corpses, they would get their ass sent to jail. This is just as inappropriate.
Even though I think the press should ignore them, even if they did, this group wouldn't go away. They need to a jail from the inside before they get the picture. - giveer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15@Comatose
"I like the constitution the way it is"
Yes. I know you do. That's why I took the accepted constant, the Constitution, and matched it with a contrasting antithesis, being my 'Added Title' remark, and thereby, creating a logical juxtaposition or, what some would consider "a joke", or even humor, if you will. A quip. Retort. Or being f*cking witty.
However, since that moment went flying past a few people, I'm gonna just punch myself in the balls instead. - arcangelgabriel, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Lord, please save me from your followers....
- rnwen2750, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14I say we protest their protest!
- doddilus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14edit: personal note remeber to hit [reply] before typing a reply
- kingkilr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16Because principles don't mean anything unless they go both ways.
- headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I can think of thousands of reasons why "God" might hate us. Why in the world have these people singled out homosexuality as being *the* reason God would have a problem with the US?
Btw - I'm shocked they're still alive. If I was at my son's funeral, and they were there, there is no telling what I might do to them. - spargo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I wonder what will happen when their "leader" dies.
- GreenAnole, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Just because they claim to be Christians does not mean that they are.
- AllenS, on 10/12/2007, -10/+22They can call themselves whatever they want. Once I get their phone number, I'll be calling them every night at 3:00AM...
- ErrorS, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13I like how their church is mostly made up of family. The article mentions that they don't really socialize outside of their chuch group. I'm sure others have come to this obvious conclusion, but they're a bunch of inbred *****.
I'm all for free speech regardless of how much I disagree with it.. but hate speech? Like racism, this ***** shouldn't be acceptable on any level. - dunezone, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13I bet they don't shave.
- LMaxey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12...because there's a fine line between "real Christian" and "real ***** up Christian"?
- fkr3, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15Nice ... are they at least allowed to shave or are they au natural :S
- glxyjones, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I'm pretty sure he was joking...
although I'm sure a majority of the voting public would vote "gramps" an *****. - KuntaKinte, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11we should send em a free trip to the beautiful Guantanamo Bay Resort and Spa
- hammerpants, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Yeah, but nobody should be able to picket at anyone's funeral. There's some inbred mental disease there.
- sporkmonger, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12hammerpants:
Not really -- the term is first mentioned in Acts 11:26, and in that context, it's just a label, not much more. It's only other usage in the Bible, in 1 Peter 4:16, is equally innocuous. I think it was a term that showed up out of necessity since they weren't Jews, and they weren't anything else you could easily label them as, and "Christians" is a lot easier to say than "followers of Christ".
Hopefully, the presence of verse references in a comment won't get me dugg down too far. :-P - cfpresley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I think Alabama or Mississippi has Kansas beat for the most backwards state. Phelps clan or not.
- blackjack75, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9"Then move."
It would be better from him, to stay there and share his progressive ideas rather than leaving the town to the local idiots. - ihaveplans, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Now the question is whether Topeka comprises most of his extended family, too.
