Finally Fred Phelps and his cult are getting justice. A lawsuit filed by a family of a dead Iraq veteran against the Topeka, Kansas storefront church ended in a jury awarding $11 million in damages. The church, consisting mainly of Phelps family members, makes a practice of protesting at Iraq War veterans funerals with signs stating “Thank God for Dead Soldiers” and “God Hates America”.
Their twisted logic is as follows. Because America tolerates gays and lesbians and because abortion is legal, God hates America. The dead soldiers are a sign of that displeasure and therefore a wakeup call to all Americans. Say what?
Phelps pledges to go on with his crackpot activities. In the past he made news by protesting at the funerals of men and women who died of AIDS. His infamous “God Hates Fags” signs were a prominent feature at the funeral of Mathew Sheppard, the man murdered in a gay hate crime in Wyoming.
Time for a new sign. “God Loves Everyone Including Fred Phelps, but Wants Him to Pay Up or Shut Up”
