Down with Fred Phelps!

[Marvolo]

Investigative reporter Joshua Kors interviewed Phelps in 2010 and asked him about his own death:

Kors: Have you thought about what will happen when you die?

Phelps: (Phelps chuckles.) I'm not planning on dying.

Kors: Well, everybody's going to die at some point. I'm wondering about your thoughts on going to heaven.

Phelps: The Lord himself should descend for me with the angels. I'm not looking for an undertaker — I'm looking for an uppertaker.

Kors: Describe that heaven for me.

Phelps: When the time comes, I will leave my old body. My new body will be a part of God. That's our inheritance. God says, "They shall hunger no more. They shall thirst no more." What's the matter with you? Don't you know the Bible? You are about the most ignorant person I've ever seen.

At last he finally shall contribute something worthwhile to this world...as fertilizer.

He will be in a sealed coffin in a vault so he wont be fertilizing anything. Even in death he's useless.

It's crazy reading his bio. He was a civil rights lawyer who was once honored by NAACP, only to become a hateful nut job.

It's crazy to see a man whose legacy was being an awful human being.

Ya I'm glad he is dead

a lesbian rejected him; causing his descent into comic book supervillainy.

Whelp, he's dead now. I think everyone should just pretend the church doesn't exist anymore and if they start **** arrest them like hey would rioters.

A classic.

What, did Kevin Smith write Fred's origin story now?

 

[KevanG]

Better than Frank Miller.

Should say "hell is that way."

I'll bet whatever conversation he's having with God right now is not going at all like he expected.

or Satan is giving him an attaboy.

YUCK. You people are disgusting.

 

[Sawyer]

What do you mean "You people"?

 

[CJ]

You people saying those ugly things.

Yeah, the guy picketed funerals, which I agree is wrong, but mocking him in death makes you no better than him.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

YUCK. You people are disgusting.

At least they're honest and don't take a sanctimonious holier-than-thou approach. When someone goes into a thread just to take the "moral high ground" it always reeks a bit of forced phoniness, especially on the internet.

I disagree. This man went out of his way to bother people who never wronged him in any way. He did not even allow families to hold a proper funeral.

He deserves to have his grave danced on.

I only wish there was a hell for him to go to.

 

[Marvolo]

Saying the world is well rid of a hateful despicable bigot is hardly the same as Fred saying a gay soldier is burning in hell for being who he is and that God hates him being the way he is.

 

[Thundercrack85]

The only real debate should be what kind of dance to do on his grave?

I say flamenco.

 

[Boom]

YUCK. You people are disgusting.

*Shrug*

His legacy is one of unadulterated hatred and ignorance.

I wish death on no one, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend to be the least bit sympathetic.

 

[Sawyer]

Twerk. I think Phelps would probably be the most appalled by a good twerk.

I'm not sure if this was posted but I enjoyed this picture:

i dont think his funeral should be picketed...but if a jubilant gay pride parade happen to stroll through town that day...

I agree with what you're saying in principle, but I have to ask: what is your opinion of Phelps?

no better than him? there is a world of difference between casual remarks on the internet about the death of a hateful lowlife and making it yer life's passion to spread venomous hatred and bigotry.

if you wanna compare my sentiment of "that dead guy sucks" to Phelps rallying crowds of hate mongers at the funerals of fallen american soldiers while claiming God's hatred...then you are a moron.
