On hate speech...

[Navaros]

Fred Phelps is no satire. that guy's Church and protests all over the USA and Canada are very real

even i must admit that the way he presents his ideas is a bit whacked-out, however he does have an underlying point

the point being that Churches must stand up and speak out against the evil upon this Earth. sadly, his whacked-out presentation is one of the few examples of Churches today actually being bold enough to stand up for their beliefs.

i respect someone who is bold enough to stand up for what he believes in despite the world at large hating him for it.

Gah! We don't hate him! We just want to hug him with our arms and hearts filled with idealistic, irrational love and put him into the care of our beautiful nurses at the nearest mental hospital, in Kansas, of course. We don't want him to miss home. If we ever harm him even if it's a single hair the Swedes will be VERY angry that we treat their secret American admirers badly.

You respect someone so full of hate he would preach murder on others?

Is this the kind of morality you are standing up for?

The Swedish Royal family have already taken legal actions against him, but with no success since in US this is ok.
Strangely enough, this pattern seems familiar from the middle east and we all know what that ended in.......

You guys are just discovering Fred Phelps??? LOL, he's a total whack job, just like Bashir and the rest. To my knowledge he hasn't actually been connected to any terrorist acts yet. He is full of hate speech and should be treated as a criminal.

Fred Phelps is proof that in spite of being the "melting-pot" of many peoples and cultures, America hasn't quite managed to stamp out inbreeding. You'd think with all of the genetic diversity, people would be able to find someone other than their sister to marry. I guess we in America should just consider ourselves lucky that some of our citizens with a shortage of branches in the family tree - like Mr Phelps and others of his psycho-religious ilk - even have opposable thumbs.
