This crazy f**k actually does a lot of work FOR us. His extremist views alienate most christians from him. They end up more sympathetic to our need for equality. When they see this guy, people actually realize the discrimination we have to put up with.

So go on Fred, shoot yourself in the foot again. You're only helping us with your madness.

My buddy fred. I met fred in norwalk ct two years ago. It was during a funeral for a serviceman

fred and his little troupe of hitler youth were getting ready to protest. I told the officers protecting the funeral that I wanted to talk to fred to get him to reconcider his actions.

I went up to fred and said "you see that GMC suburban over there. it is a Govt surplus sale truck, and is esencially bullit proof. It is 4wd and is virtually un stoppable. it was a mistake on the part of your govt that I was able to purchase it.

now look at the peices of shit the cops have. i could cut them in half and be in new london before the echo died.

I'll bet you $2 I can drop that thing in first gear and run you and your entire family into those knobby off road tires, in less than 15 seconds, and be home to watch the patriots game before they can even fire a shot, if they would even make an effort to stop me.

now what do you say, you pack it up and save me 10 bucks at the car wash.

they left.

What a great idea! Fred is going to help the GLBT community just by being there! The longer, the better! Every moment more money gets raised for GLBT causes. LOL! Thanks Fred!

We should start a letter writing campaign flooding his church and even his website with thank you letters for helping the "sodomite agenda"! But then again, why waste our time, he's doing just fine on his own!

I absolutely don't approve of violence... when threats are all that's necessary. But I'll tell you what. If you still have that GMC, and if you ever spot the Phelps Klan again, I'll pay for the carwash.

Oh! This is no time to be out of the loop!

The agenda is as follows:

Item #1: Make the world come to an end by deliberately defying various bloodthirsty and malicious deities, threatening the nation's moral infrastructure, confusing heterosexuals about marriage, drinking Whiskey Sours, and wearing comfortable but fabulous shoes.

Item #2: Ordering a second round of Whiskey Sours while singing along to the Original Broadway Cast Recording of The Fantastiks.

I'm pretty sure that a knowledge of showtunes is only required if you want to be on the steering committee.

Otherwise, you just have to be able to pick Barbra Streisand from a lineup of famous Barbaras.(Which may include, but is not limited to, Barbara Walters, Barbara Bush, Barbara Boxer, and the city of Santa Barbara California.)

After you pass the test, there's a little swearing-in ceremony, where you get your membership card, Bible Verse Decoder Ring, a book of two-for-one drink coupons for the Stonewall Inn, and a Judy Garland biography DVD. You also have to sign the oath where you promise to undermine the nation's moral infrastructure twice a day.

I think it is about time that someone (and I nominate you) put our agenda into typewritten form and post it on line in this forum. That way the "antis" and the "fors" could have a set of guidelines on which to base our arguments. That way they could pick from a list and just refer to each item like when they order in a chinese restaurant. It would really simplify matters. Will you take the appointment to become our "Thomas Jefferson"?(You do not have to have sex outside your "marriage" in order to qualify, I promise.)

Way to go Skip.
Now the Phelps clan will begin to protest all the car shows and dealerships in America with signs that say "God's hates GMC" and "Thank God for road hazards and potholes"

Besides, I doubt they would be worth the $3.85/gallon you would spend to decorate sidewalk.

If there is a God, and I believe there is, after Fred Phelps dies, i hope he spends eternity in New Jersey.

(Did ya ever notice that when you go thru the Holland Tunnel and get to Manhattan, there's a big sign that says : "Welcome To New York !:)" But when you go the other way and get out, there's a big sign that says: "Welcome to Hell !:)")

Just remember that your average "christian" is just one screw loose away from becoming the next Fred Phelps. That's the danger of all religion; it encourages delusional thinking, absent all rational thought.

Violence is NEVER a solution, but instead of paying for the car wash, how 'bout we just strip down to our skivvies and pitch in and wash the car ourselves?
