GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee campaigned in Topeka, Kansas today and was greeted by Rev Fred Phelps’ homophobic flock from the Westboro Baptist Church. Huckabee has recently equated homosexuality with pedophilia and has suggested that AIDS victims should be quarantined, but apparently that just isn’t enough hatred of teh gay for these people. These people are repulsive, but I had to chuckle at the sight of homophobic religious fanatics protesting another homophobic religious fanatic.

WTF were they protesting? Who are they backing? Or do they just hate everybody?
this makes absolutely no sense!
I wish all these idiots would go find themselves a country (or island or planet or whatever) that doesn’t have gays, so they can live and be happy little bigots! But they should leave America, we don’t need them or want them!

The latter.
Which is odd, so does Up-Chuckabee.
.
In my mind, this just further illustrates that the phrase “Religious Tolerance” is an oxymoron.
Shouldn’t Phelps be institutionalized.He clearly is insane.
Someone should put him in a straight jacket.
He can share the same padded cell with Coulter.
LOL … You guys aren’t hurt a bit by the Writers Strike.
Poll: Clinton ties McCain. Obama beats him

They should be hating the whole bunch running on the right, and those that have gone.
Jon Stewart had a good segment on Romney’s departure speech. If that character is not despicable, then another word must be found, or it needs to be re-defined.
I have posted video at http://www.foxnews-follies.com
That man is evil personified
First and second place finishers in the race to the bottom of the fringe.

Maybe someone should send Mr. Phelps a shipment of purple Nike’s.
The sign that says Fag, and Troops is especially touching.
Could these people be any further from god?
There was a cartoon in National Lampoon about 25-30 years ago…a man walking into a pub, and a man sitting at the bar, whispering to the bartender, “Smell that? That’s a Methodist. You can smell ‘em coming from miles away.”
The cartoon was titled Religious Bigotry Hits An All-Time Low.
I think we’ve got a new all-time low.
Bring on da hate!
Loonie @ 13:
Not the Republican God.
Pass da guacamo…. sorry …. the green stuff
They do hate
Notice the way they spaced out pHuckusall’s name on the marquee so his theotard speed-reading flock wouldn’t miss it on the drive-by?
Ruthless People @ 8:
One poll, months away from the election…Time is a right wing rag too.
pot calling the kettle black.
They certainly dress anti-gay. Are teh all colorblind?
rekroc @ 1:
We have a WINNER!
Their signs don’t mention Huckabee.
Maybe they just wanted to protest where there would be people passing by, and weren’t actually protesting against Huckabee.
WTF?
This shows just how crazy the Phelps kult is.
Even if a guy agrees part way with them they still protest him.
This is the best way to deal with them.

that sign, on the bottom right of the bottom picture… the universal sign of doggy style? … being held by a youngster, no less…
Phelps and Colt-er musta taken the same marketing course at Liberty U.
katy @ 25:
Maybe they just don’t like football.
Help! I’m getting old. Who was it that said “fascism will come to America wraped in the flag and carrying a cross”. Lewis Stevenson?
Southern Baptist Sin,God is your Enemy,God hates America,Fag (ribbon) Troops,Thank God for 9/11,The World Is DOOMED! I’m surprised this nutcase hasn’t pulled a Jim Jones……..give him time.
pHuck sure hired a lotta barkers for this one.
rekroc @ 1:
ding ding ding! Right answer!
Eric Jaffa @ 23:
They just wanted to be first in line to see pHucktard. They always carry those signs with them wherever they go to remind themselves that jeebus carried his own cross.
I keep seeing this term “teh gay”. What does that mean exactly? I’ve somehow missed a cultural term.
Mike Huckabee’s response. “Those people are crazy”
God is your enemy???
c. atrox @ 33:
?
Ya got me.
I always thought is was a spelling error…
I guess I’m out of touch too,so don’t feel to bad.
Dana @ 31:
Basically unless you’re part of their cult they hate you.

Why aren’t they picketing Catholic churches instead?
Now There’s something to get pissed off about; Tens of thousands of children sexually molested by thousands of priests over decades of time…
Amen.
These are like Satan’s Little Helpers.
No point in getting worked up over the escapades of the Phelps gang. They are insane but have the same rights as everyone else to spew hate and nonsense. I don’t agree at all with their viewpoints and just look at them with pity.

While we throw innocent people into detention at Guantanamo, we have terrorists freaks right in our own backyard….Go figure.

okay, this is definition #6 from The Urban Dictionary, but it’s probably the closest to the truth

Originally just a misspelling from people typing too fast, “teh” has become a word used by net.writers to exemplify people who are ignorant or simply not thinking clearly (perhaps because they’re typing too fast).
I was reading a fundamentalist site the other day, and the writer was all upset about kids listening to rock’n'roll. He believes it’s TEH DEVIL MUSIC FROM HELL.
Bookmark The Urban Dictionary. It really comes in handy.
The clash of the religious fundamentalist fanatics! Which side can gain the most followers by demonizing which sinning demographic?
All I see is red bricks and brain-dead pricks.
I am sooooo grateful that Fred Phelps and gang are Repugs.
They deserve each other.
maybe they are protesting Huckleberry’s sociopathic dog killer son. I don’t know if he’s teh ghey or not.
Now who is more insane — Phelps or the people that listen to him and think, “hey, this guy’s onto something. I should follow him!”
NOT fabulous!
Radically Moderate @ 47:
Errr actualy Phelps isn’t a member of either party and he hates on members of both parties.
IdahoMoe @ 12:
Add to that the sign that says “Thank God for 9/11″ on the left side. How do these people look at themselves in the mirror after spreading this type of hate?
Wow!!! . . . Who knew it!!
There IS a god.

The Westboro Church is a cult.
WHY DOES THE MEDIA COVER THESE JACKASSES?
Just ignore them and let local people beat the crap out of them.
LegallyBlonde @ 49:
They’re all hovering around the institutionalizable line.
Their commitably crazy quotient is in the incarceration red zone.
Insane in the membrane monitors malfunction in their proximity.
Pick your favorite or collect ‘em all!!
I think maybe the Phelps gang ( many of them are lawyers ) are just gaming the system. They go around saying the most vile things, supposedly in the name of their god, almost begging to be censured, then sue if their free speech rights are infringed. It beats working.
A bunch of scam artists.
I hope I never catch teh church.
If there is one thing that tends to unite repugs and dems, it is the sharing of laughter at the Westboro Baptist Church and it’s psychotic leader; Freddy Kruger…err…Phelps. Even here in Australia, we can’t help but chuckle quietly at the thought of such a guy being given a platform of sorts to spout nut-baggery.
