Once you see the jew, there is no going back. Read the Talmud for some eye-opening truth about Talmudic Jews and what it/they have to say about non-jews.

While I don’t agree with Westboro, I am appalled by what the Jew is doing also. Just take a serious look at what the jews of Hollywood are shoving down our throats – atheism, homosexuality,. bestiality, pedophilia, gay marriage… Absolute sexual depravity. When will people wake up and say enough is enough?

Surely there is some legal way that can shut that “church” down. It is just a cover for their anti-US antics. That is, they are against everything that our Constitution stands for.

Rich, I meant to say that the Phelps family derives much of its income from lawsuits, I believe. At least that is what I read.

Rich, I was wondering the same thing; What is the source of WBC income? Also, are they a real church or is WBC designated as a “religious” entity in order to serve as a tax shelter for the Phelps family. It appears they spend alot of time on what is really non-religious activities. Harrassing families of deceased soldiers doesn’t seem very Christian to me.

Geez, all this talking about how the Jews killed Jesus, and they don’t even utter a simple “thank you.”

Remember: No Death=No Resurrection=No Salvation

Every time there’s a post about these guys or a similar group, comment posters trot out the same tired hysterics about “Jesus people” and Catholic.

Have some perspective, folks. Westboro Baptist “Church” has 50 members.

That’s hardly indicative of the majority of Christians. And they’re not Catholic.

So why do some people see these reports as opportunities to condemn hate and ignorance with more hate and ignorance?

Go kiss Fred Phelps on the face if you love his hatred so much, and leave the country together with his anti-American ass. LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.

the radical right and their financial backing and media control—They may have financial backing (apparently not as much as liberal Democrats, depending on the campaign and the month’s reporting), but they do not control the media. The media responds to how many tune in. If you don’t like the ownership of a media outlet or their content, t complain to the FCC, write them letters of complaint, write letters to the editor, turn in to programs that you do believe in and buy their books.

God does not condone hate and this is what the Westboro group is all about. I cannot bring myself to even call this a church group. We need to pray for these people because that is what Jesus would have done. I would hate to be in their shoes on judgement day if they do not repent and change their ways.

Sadly this cult continues to be a blight on Topeka and the rest of the country. And make no mistake, they are a cult by any definition of the word and are certainly NOT a church. Sad that they are raising children in such a hate filled, filthy existance.

Maybe these Westboro people are correct. I mean, look at the SPLC. The SPLC represented and defended racist blacks in the Jena Six case. The SPLC is also friendly with La Raza, which is a hispanic supremacy hate group. The Southern Poverty Law Center pretends to be a civil rights group, but in truth it is an anti-white hate group that is owned and operated by jewish supremacists.

So maybe this Westboro church is seeing through the SPLC’s lies and stating the facts.

Just saying the real word of God, Brian – as opposed to the Westboro pukes, making up fictional Bible quotes to try and justify their out-of-control hate. Can’t find a quote in the Bible celebrating the deaths of Swedes in the Tsunami, for instance.

ME: Oh, God!! Not THEM again!
(I read post on WBC & bellyache to the Father,viz.)
Lord, will you look at this?!
I see it, Brian. I see it only too well.
What’s WRONG with these people? Do they need someone to hate?!
Probably, but let Me worry about that. Just protect yourself and others from their hateful words & actions and, if you REALLY want them to change, I’d start praying for them.
(Here I gag a little, but I know He’s right)
Lord, IS this lot overly inbred?
(Smiles a bit) Brian, let Me attend to that too. Please.
(Semi-rueful grin) OK, Lord.

PS. V, I still think you have these varmints’ numbers all right!

Why haven’t these people been renditioned already? They hate America, they celebrate 9/11 – they’re basically al-Qaeda with a cross around their necks.

Matt. 25:40 ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’ Which equals: See you in Hell, Fred Phelps. Because that’s where you WILL go, for mocking other peoples’ suffering.

Oklahoma had to pass a law to keep these nut jobs at a safe distance from the funerals of fallen soldiers. They turned our peaceful neighborhood into a 3-ring circus when a local boy was brought to his home church from Iraq in a casket. Thank God for the veterans biker group that showed up & handled these Phelps asses in the manner they deserve.

If we focus on these nuts,we are not focusing on the true danger. Which is just what Lou and his fellow travellers want us to do. A few loonies pale in comparison compared to danger from the radical right and their financial backing and media control

I attempted to read Addicted to Hate, and actually ended up vomiting. Never made it past the prologue with the strangled cat.

That entire … family … is just sick, and, IMO, needs to be quarantined for the sake of the nation’s sanity.

When people express this much hatred, it says more about themselves than it does about those who are the objects of their hatred. Likewise, it is a spiritual truth that the actions (including words spoken) that someone does to other people–positive or negative–impact their/our own lives in the same way. We are not all separate organisms but actually spiritually connected. The hatred is an illness like a cancer in the collective of humanity and must be treated as such. SPLC has given us a clear diagnosis here.

What is next? I am not a medical doctor, but I have two suggestions: 1) Treat the cancer as radically as necessary. With actual cancer, that is surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy, possibly viral therapy, and hormone therapy. Looking at that in terms of the collective human self, perhaps it means isolating the sick parts, using whatever radical methods are required to heal those parts, and using the rest of the collective body (hormone therapy, etc) to heal the illness. Suggestion #2) Strengthen the collective body (of humanity) even while the radical treatment is going on. Strengthening the collective body of humanity means making sure people can be free, educated, have good lives, and that there is abundant hope in the world to counteract such messages. It means looking into the eyes of the one who is different from myself (e.g. the stranger) and realizing that he or she is me.

First it was the homosexuals, now it’s the Jews. Who’s next? The WBC styles itself as a Christian community. In fact, its teachings and its behaviors never even came close to what Jesus of Nazareth was all about. This group is a scandal.

The Rev. Fred Phelps is getting old, which means we’ll eventually be rid of him. I certainly won’t be sad when he dies. I can only hope that his followers sorta fade out and this insanity finally stops.

I don’t think the so-called freedom of religion gives anyone the right to incite hate crimes. In recent years I see a definite trend for people to believe that the worship of money and political power is a legitimate religion.

There is nothing in the US Constitution to support that belief.

Thi sis getting so old, tedious, and just plain annoying. But by virtue of everyone’s comments, it appears that whether one is Jewish or not, more and more people seem to be in agreement that this is no “church” in the real sense. Someone mentioned that they hoped this “church” wasn’t tax exempt. Hmmmmm. That sounds like a very interesting idea to look into. What an potential embarrassment should we find that they “are” tax exempt. That might be the first potentially well-publicized way we can bring them down. Anyone reading this post care to do the research on that?

Kansas is my home state; I attended high school there and graduated from college there. I am ashamed that a “Hate Group” like this has it’s home there. With all those Phelps people related one wonders how much incest was the reason for this family’s ignorance and stupidity.

Isn’t there any type of statute on the books to charge these people with a crime? How about inciting hate? Or domestic terrorism? Can’t anything be done under the notorius Patriot Act?
If not, then I believe that it is long past time for Congress to act. I know that Freedom of Speech protects people from using racist hateful language. But these people, as so many others, have crossed a sacred line. Our Country is a melting pot. Everyone has come from somewhere else except for Native Americans. I believe that there should be some kind of legal deterrant for hate speech. I don’t think our Founding Fathers could have envisined that the Country they fought for, so that people from anywhere could come to live here and be safe from religous persecution, would have dreamed that American’s would behave so hatefully.

Here is part of the problem. The European goes traveling and sees various “natives” eating uncooked meat fat, brains, whatever and they “circumcise their women” We then say; (as good Europeans) “oh, Jesus….We have to help these people!”. And we tell them of our God, our way of life and it sounds attractive – certainly. Learning, better health, wider freedoms; it all appears positive.

But in a microcosm isn’t that what we are doing here? Albeit pathologically twisted…. WBC is a disgusting racist pedantic joke but in the USA we have the right to worship as we believe.
And that is WHY we have organizations who would fight for low-functioning jokes like WBC; NOT because they are right or good or anything other than an opposing point of view. This is where the rubber really hits the road: do you do lip service to the 1st Amendment or do you recognize it’s damn ugly sometimes if you practice it in it’s totality.

And in the same breath it’s damn important that SPLC speak out on the behalf of those people attacked by the WBC. That balance is crucial. To step back and appreciate the whole issue is tough, IMO. This balancing act is the very essence that makes our country unique and wonderful.

If you want to know what Fred Phelps is all about, don’t bother dwelling on his anti-gay, anti-Jewish, or anti-American talk.

Instead, google the sentence “addicted to hate.” It’s an unpublished expose on the guy.

This guy is way more than just a bigot. He’s a full-blown sociopath.
