(60,536 posts)who thinks the Phelps are Christian but, if any harm were to come to any Phelps clan member, I'd bet dollars to donuts the wing nut fundies would claim them as martyrs to the cause. You're mistaken to think otherwise.

(1,370 posts)These people thrive on Google hits. This nonsense claim gets them exactly what they want - attention.
Call them the 'homophobes from Topeka', 'WB Klan', whatever, but don't use their full name - it gives them positive reinforcement.
And seriously, this group knows exactly how to stay within the lines in this country, as far as the law is concerned - no way they have enough hubris to go to a nation where they are unskilled in the local laws. And frankly, they usually Drive...even from Kansas to DC. You can't fit a poster of a Disney character performing a sex act in the overhead compartment (and they're too cheap to fly).

(44,228 posts)All they ever do, anymore, is to announce that they're going to protest something, and the subsequent freak out gives them as much press as if they actually had protested.
Ignore em. Fuck em.

No freak out ... just encouragement (encouragement for my own warped humor)
