I put this thread in the political lounge, well, because that's where it would end up anyway.

I just thought it was ironic how Michael Moore turned the tables on Fred Phelps?

I know this probably won't happen, but can we not turn this into a Fahrenheit 9/11 accuracy thread? We already have threads for that and that's off topic in this thread.

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?

he's the head of the Westboro Baptist Church

they hate gays

hate America (UK, Canada, Sweden etc) and picket funerals of dead service people celebrating their death - (also see Patriot Guard Riders, who counter them)

are about ~100 strong, mostly family members

I thought it was some sick attempt at humour the first time I heard of them, unfortunately they're real.

Oh, man; here I was hoping they'd actually met. Maybe if they did, we'd all get lucky and they'd kill each other.
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

Phelps needs to be delt with in a bad way.
He's the bad apple of organized religion.
As bad as the findamentalist Islamic mullahs.
All men are created equal, but what they do after that point puts them on a sliding scale.
