...Such as the fact that he was excommunicated by his own weird church in August of 2013 (but not why).

Also, this at the end was worthy of Hunter S Thompson:

QuoteBut Fred, you old hate monger, you despicable human being..  Thank you for putting a real face on hatred and bigotry.  Your hate, your venom, your sheer level of evil reminded people all over the country that they couldn't be on your side of this civil rights battle.  And for that, I'll tip my glass, and be glad the world is rid of you when you're gone, and glad the world had to confront your madness as it did.

IMO, let him go quietly and peacefully. Without attention, without the inevitable counter protest at his funeral, and without any sort of pomp. The faster he slips from memory, the better.

Balls.  I don't want ANYONE to EVER forget him.

He was the guy that did more than any other single person to make it socially unacceptable to be against Gay Rights.

Sort of like Margaret Thatcher, no pussy-footing or half-assing his posture... hypocritical and concealed discrimination is worse because its invisible and cannot be attacked so easily - but if you go balls out, you are either going to be a banner for your like-minded or a lightning rod for your detractors.

Point.
However, there's enough idiocity in this world who will think it's "funny" to reciprocate his hate with comparable protests and bullshit. I fail to see how that sort of retaliation will work.

However...TOTALLY curious about the excommunication bit, myself.

His estranged son, Nathan, said, "I only have hearsay on the reason, and two different versions, so I won't comment at this point, other than to say he was moved into another house and watched over so he wouldn't harm himself."


maybe his mind went, "Whoops! I think I fucked up."

I was hoping this would be about the dildo collection contained in his will.

I think it's only reasonable to suggest that the obvious answer to the communication issue would be his huge stash of gay porn.

Seriously, I'll bet money I don't even have that this is the reason.

Will be interesting to see how much of a driving force he is for the crazy he established.
Nine naked Men just walking down the road will cause a heap of trouble for all concerned.

Betcha that's exactly it.

Total breakdown, and his brainwashed family wanted nothing to do with his imminent change of heart.

My sources tell me old Freddie is in for a shock in the after life.
If [a person] was considered to be in contempt of court or anything like that, [he was] simply fried since there was a curtain of radioactive material which went clear across the front of the bench anywhere that a witness or anybody would stand, and so on.

So they believe in Unconditional Election.  So, and correct me if I'm wrong because I have a hard time processing idiocy, but if Fred Phelps is dying doesn't that mean that he's fallen out of grace, and thus needs to be excommunicated?

Just a thought because, while I'd love to believe that he had a crisis of conscience, I know things don't always work out that way.

Sorry, b-man.  I feel the need to call you out on that one.

I know what your intentions are, and I applaud them, but still.  You're dancing on the edge of pejoritive stereotyping.


Anyway, carry on laughing at a dying man.
