I just posted something about Phelps and crew. "Christian" they are NOT. Reading Wiki, Phelps and his 'church' members regularly go and taunt military funerals, and many other religious groups.....these people are the embodiment of 'anti-Christ' IMO. Evil...pure Evil.

Re Phelps - I think him, his "church", really just his own extended family are just stooges for the ACLU. My own little conspiracy theory.

I note the ACLU regularly defends him:

Intersting Phelp's a Democrat - per wikipedia:

Democratic Party
Phelps has run in various Kansas Democratic Party primaries five times, but has never won. These included races for governor in 1990, 1994, and 1998, receiving about 15 percent of the vote in 1998.[57] In the 1992 Democratic Party primary for U.S. Senate, Phelps received 31 percent of the vote.[58] Phelps ran for mayor of Topeka in 1993[59] and 1997.[60]

Support for Al Gore
Phelps supported Al Gore in the 1988 Democratic Party primary election.[61] In his 1984 Senate race, Gore opposed a "gay bill of rights" and stated that homosexuality was not something that "society should affirm".[62] Phelps has stated that he supported Gore because of these earlier comments.[63] According to Phelps, members of the Westboro Baptist Church helped run Gore's 1988 campaign in Kansas. Phelps' son, Fred Phelps Jr., hosted a Gore fundraiser at his home in Topeka and was a Gore delegate to the 1988 Democratic National Convention.[15] Gore spokesman Dag Vega declined to comment, saying "We are not dignifying those stories with a response."[64]
