Tracking the Theoligarchy - Fred Phelps reaches out - again

fred phelps, pastor of the westboro baptist church in topeka, kansas, is back in the news, exporting hate from the sunflower state, this time to massachusetts...

A flier from the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka singles out a Women in History essay written by a 12-year-old student who chose DeGeneres as her subject. The invective-laden leaflet includes a photo of the Englesby School and a grotesque devil. The diatribe attacks the staff, labeling it a “homo-fascist regime,” among other things.

phelps, you may remember, gained a special place in the ranks of the damned when he led his flock to the funeral of matthew shepard, the 21-year-old wyoming man who was murdered in an anti-gay hate crime in 1998... phelps and his supporters stood across the street from the church shouting at the mourners and holding signs that read, “matthew is in hell...” as a parent, my heart ached for matthew's parents for not only having to endure a senseless tragedy but also for having to face that kind of scum in their time of grief... now what kind of hell are they going to put a 12 year-old girl through...?
