Never heard of this guy.

He was the creator/instigator behind Westboro Baptist Church The Fundie group who uses Military funerals as a venue for spewing anti~gay, anti semitic, anti catholic vitriol, and then suing anyone who dared interfere for a healthy profit. They have made millions off of the corpses of our sons and daughters.



You know... Most of the time, we use slurs against (people) on these forums, and it's really not serious. We're annoyed, maybe. Trolling for a reaction, likely.


But...

In this case...

In My Humble Opinion...

They really are Scum.

I know about the group and what they've done but not who was running it. It's just how I think about people like these, which is utterly dismissive. Sort of a mental shunning, and for people like the deceased it's far worse to be ignored than hated.

I feel sympathy for the worms and other organisms who will eventually be licking and feasting on the festering flesh from Phelps' bones; I would imagine it's sour, bitter and acrid and will only serve to give them severe gastritis.

Where's his grave? I got some dancin' and pissin' to do!

Just like Boomerangs I would imagine.

Good riddance to him. He was a good example of how many Americans in the US had de-assimilated from American culture. Unfortunately, I think that many conservative Americans in the US suffer from the same mental issues as this de-assimilated person did as well.
