Let's not give Phelps and his incestuous band

[MineralMan]

and further publicity at all. Let Fred Phelps descend into obscurity, along with the rest of his sick organization.

With this post, I am washing my hands of that miserable excuse for a human being.

1. He should become an obscure footnote. nt

2. His wife (sister?) actually did the unthinkable once

I was flipping through the channels a few years ago and happened upon Hannity interviewing Shirley Phelps. Hannity asked, "What's wrong with you? You look like a witch or something." That was the first, last and only time I ever agreed with Hannity on anything. So Shirley Phelps actually is a uniter. Or something.

3. That's why I never bother to respond to even bad news about him. I'm all for

just letting him pass on so the world soon forgets he existed.

4. Ignoring Phelps is a good idea

I agree with the OP. We should ignore Phelps and his family

5. Phelps. May he rest in peace..............

May his hatred and the hatred of those like him burn in hell.
If there is a hell.
Better said.

We just forsake you.
Or rape you.
But forget you better still.

7. You know who else washed his hands of something? Pontius Pilate!

So...so...something.

8. Well, I'm no Pontius Pilate, that's for sure.

But my mother taught me to wash my hands frequently, so...

9. There are other Phelps like self-anointed prophets out there now.

You don't wash your hands of something like these people. Condemnation and sanctions and a willingness to use them when others seek to teach hatred is what is in order. Hatred does not go away--it just hides and smolders. Witness the Birchers and Klan and their newfound boldness.

11. Good stuff. Nothing gets the nasty dirt, grease and oil

off your hands like Lava soap. I keep a bar at the laundry sink in my basement.
